Four years ago, writer/director Matthew Spradlin and his co-writer Barry Wernick brought their "THE BREAKFAST CLUB meets THE GRUDGE" graphic novel BAD KIDS GO TO HELL to the screen. Now BAD KIDS GO TO HELL co-star Ben Browder has made his feature directorial debut with the sequel, BAD KIDS OF CRESTVIEW ACADEMY, which is set to be released in select theatres and on VOD on Friday, January 13, 2017.
Written by Wernick and GO TO HELL executive producer James R. Hallam, this sequel has the following synopsis:
Based on the best-selling graphic novel series, a group of spoiled “bad kids” have been placed in Saturday detention at the prestigious Crestview Academy. After one of the kids locks away their teacher, they find themselves trapped in school with no way out, wondering who (or what) set them up. Their ranks quickly dwindle as each falls victim to a gruesome “accident” while trying to escape.
Since these movies draw obvious inspiration from THE BREAKFAST CLUB, the first film had the perfect casting of Judd Nelson as the school headmaster. Unfortunately, Nelson did not return for CRESTVIEW ACADEMY, but he has been replaced in the role by another '80s icon, Sean Astin.
Astin is joined in the cast by Drake Bell, Gina Gershon, Sammi Hanratty, and Browder.
The trailer for BAD KIDS OF CRESTVIEW ACADEMY can be seen below, and if you find it intriguing you can look forward to watching the full film in less than a month.
