The premise

As a killer named Cinderhella stalks the student body at the high school in Grizzly Lake, a group of co-eds band together to survive while they're all serving detention.

Horror Vault's take

A masked killer called Cinderhella is picking off students at Grizzly Lake High, and a misfit crew stuck in after-school detention finds themselves right in the crosshairs. Equal parts slasher send-up and caffeine-fueled teen comedy, the film piles on genre references, rapid-fire editing, and absurdist tangents at a relentless pace. It wears its love of horror tropes on its sleeve while subverting them at every turn, making it a genuinely unpredictable ride for fans who think they've seen it all.
