Exclusive Poster for Joseph Kahn’s DETENTION

You probably best known director Joseph Kahn as the man behind the delightfully terrible Torque, a movie even Kahn mocks in his new picture Detention.  The trailer for Detention is bizarre enough to make the film worth a look as it seems to be dancing in between Scream, The Breakfast Club, and Disney Channel made-for-TV movies.  Even the synopsis doesn’t make much sense:

Detention, is a teen horror-comedy where the local students of Grizzly Lake must survive their final year of high school. Standing in their way is a slasher movie killer who has seemingly come to life. It becomes a race against time to stop the killer and save the world – if only they can get out of detention. The Detention cuts through prom. Most of them don’t have dates anyway.

We’ve been sent the poster for the film and it features a drawing of a bear with a skull for a mouth.  Works for me.  Hit the jump to check out the poster and the trailer.  Detention premieres on Sunday, March 13th at the 2011 SXSW Film Festival.
