Why have so many people gave it a 1


Looking at the demographic breakdowns, I think it sucks that a lot of people though this movie was that of a *beep*

People do that allot. It's not because they actually thought the movie was a 1 out of 10. It's because they give every single movie that isn't the 1 movie they currently love a 1 out of 10. It is an attempt to pull the score of any other movie down. That way "fill in the blank" will look like a better and better movie by comparison. It's kinda the same way there are people who will intentionally give bad films a 10/10 in an attempt to make crappy movies onto IMDb's top 250 list. You'll even see topics on this very subject sometimes. People will make a topic that says, "It went up another 0.1 keep it up guys, maybe we can get it onto the top 250 list." Or like when people were celebrating getting Dexter to go from a 9.0 to a 8.9. There were actual celebrations I'm not making this up. People are actually that pathetic. It just goes to show you can NEVER trust IMDb's rating of a film. 4 star movies will come in with a 5.0. Just look at House of the Devil. That film deserves at least an 8 or a 9. But look at what it has on here. Then check the score on a more credible site like Rotten tomatoes or metacritic. High 90's. IMDb's ratings are a joke because of these ass clowns. IMDb has as many trolls as 4chan. It's so absurd.

well, that's just pathetic!

I actually think it deserves a 1. This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life

It was impossible for me to finish that film...one of the worst.

It deserved a negative one! Horrible story, horrible dialogue, and sad, sad attempt at being uber cool = super fail! One of the worst movies I've seen in awhile. I know adults wrote this movie but it really seems like they hijacked the movie from a couple of 14 year olds who thought they were brilliant but in reality were the class nerds who tried so hard to be cool and failed. Horrible! And giving this a one has nothing to do with moving the score-- it's just a total piece of crap.

Yeah, this flick was all over the place and pretty spastic.

It's one of those films that thinks it's so smart and intelligent that if you are somebody who doesn't like it you're probably gonna end up hating it

because they take it too seriously (which is very obvious by most of the other replies you got)

I recently watched detention and if a movie ever deserved a 1 rating and a 10 rating at the same time it his this movie. This movie is 50 percent pure brilliant and 50 percent total trash and someone else can watch this movie and the parts I think are brilliant you will think its trash and vice versa. I have never done any illegal drugs but I bet if you watched this movie high you would get extra enjoyment out of it. This is a movie that is worth a 2nd and 3rd rewatch especially with new people that have not seen the movie.


I would say this movie is scream meets donnie darko meets scott pilgrim vs the world.
