Seven years after stalling out with his feature film debut Torque, director Joseph Kahn is now taking a stab at the horror genre with his quirky Breakfast Club-meets-Scream slasher Detention. Premiering at this year’s SXSW Film Festival, Detention follows a group of high school troublemakers as they fend off aliens, a serial killer named Cinderhella, and one very angry pooch.

Peep it:

Horror fans will probably recognize 19-year-old actress Spencer Locke as “K-Mart” from the Resident Evil sequels Extinction and Afterlife. Locke has also appeared as Amber Bradley on The CW’s “Vampire Diaries (‘Miss Mystic Falls’)” and as Travis Cobb’s girlfriend Kylie on Courteney Cox’s hilarious ABC show “Cougar Town.”

Detention also stars Josh Hutcherson (Journey 2: The Mysterious Island), Dane Cook (Mr. Brooks), Walter Perez (“Friday Night Lights”), Erica Shaffer (Puppet Master: Axis of Evil), Parker Bagley (Nightmare On Elm Street), Alison Woods (Superhero Movie), and newcomers Aaron David Johnson and Shanley Caswell.

Kahn has directed music videos for U2, Garbage, Britney Spears, and Blink 182.
