BAD KIDS GO TO HELL [2012]

Based on the graphic novel of the same name, Matthew Spradlin adapts his own Bad Kids Go To Hell for the screen.
It's basically The Breakfast Club if it were built on top of an Indian burial ground, so one should expect it not take itself too seriously.  I was expecting something creatively unique and wit cleverly buried beneath stupidity like in the highly enjoyable Detention but instead I got something pretty uninspiring, dull and short on the laughs.  To add to the disappointment, the kids are so snotty and unlikable it really detracts from any hope of enjoyment.
