What’s going on, and why does it kind of rule?

The Dead Ones is a horror film about four teens who are forced to clean up their high school after a horrific incident. It’s the last week of summer and Mouse (Sarah Rose Harper), Scottie (Brandon Thane Wilson), Emily (Katie Foster) and Louis (Torey Garza) are driven by their teacher Ms. Persephone (Clare Kramer) to what might be the worst detention ever. Their school is fully trashed and, for some reason, they’re the ones who have to deal with it. But when four people in creepy gas masks show up and start locking them in, seemingly preparing for something horrible, things get wild.
