The premise is that 3 kids are kept behind after school for detention for being disruptive during class. The school is a bit on the spooky side but nothing cool is ever going to happen. The teacher who has kept them behind, locks and chains all the doors up and then the kids are stuck there over night but there is something else in the school, and I don't just mean poor old janitor Giuseppe who ends up getting shot (and no-one seems even slightly bothered when that happens by the way).
It seems there is the ghost of a boy who drowned in the school pool and is going round killing kids who are in the school after dark. He kills 2 stoner kids in the toilets (with seemingly little or no reason why). The 3 kids decide they are going to try and escape from the school when they discover they are locked in and keep asking to "use a phone", did the director not see the phones on the wall of each class behind them (MAJOR GOOF THERE!).
When the black kid starts talking about racialism in films you know he's going to be the 1st of the group to get killed. The 3 kids meet another girl who was in the school for the debate team meeting, the 4 of them get stoned in the lunchroom and eat food. There isn't a great deal of plot behind this film and even less reason behind the killing of the smart girl. She hadn't bullied the ghost, the other 3 had though.
The little twist at the end where the teacher had kept the 3 kids back so the ghost could kill them was good, and that he killed the teacher because he'd sexually abused him was very clever but the ending was weak. Very low budget & the phones in the classes was an unforgivable goof.
