Taiwan, 1962: Das Kuomintang-Regime verfolgt politische Gegner*innen und Dissident*innen, auch an Ray-shins Schule herrscht eine Atmosphäre der Angst. Dennoch trifft sie sich regelmäßig mit anderen Freidenker*innen im Buchclub von Lehrer Ming-hui. Als dieser spurlos verschwindet, macht sie sich gemeinsam mit einem Klassenkameraden auf die Suche nach ihm. Doch in der Nacht verwandelt sich das Schulgebäude in ein Albtraum-Labyrinth, in dem Geister seufzen, durch das Dämonen wandern. Detention, die Verfilmung des gleichnamigen Videospiels, zeigt politischen Terror als Horrorvision: Einer der intelligentesten Genrefilme des Jahres.
