Bad Kids of Crestview Academy is a 2017 American action comedy thriller film directed by Ben Browder.[1] [2] [3]
Academy is a sequel to Bad Kids Go to Hell (2012). The screenplay was written by Barry Wernick and James R. Hallam. Both Hell and Academy are based on Wernick and Matthew Spradlin's best-selling graphic novel Bad Kids Go 2 Hell (2009), which is about the stories of the Wildman and Calloway children at an evil prep school. Academy stars Sammi Hanratty, Colby Arps, Sophia Taylor Ali, Erika Daly, Matthew Frias, Sean Astin, Gina Gershon, Ben Browder, Sufe Bradshaw, and Cameron Deane Stewart.
Wernick and Hallam had written the graphic novel Bad Kids Go to Hell (2009), which was turned into the film Bad Kids Go to Hell (2012), both telling the story of Matt Clark, a student at prestigious Crestview Academy, who is the only survivor of six students serving a weekend detention.
The story in Bad Kids of Crestview Academy (2012) takes place five years later, when another group of detention students are slaughtered. Browder reprises his role as Max the janitor, in addition to serving as director of the film. In an end-scene cameo, Cameron Deane Stewart reprises his role as Matt Clark, the main protagonist of the original film.
