Synopsis
Watch Detention (2020) online on iFILM — a Taiwanese drama series adapted from Red Candle Games' 2017 horror game, set during Taiwan's White Terror. In the 1960s, teachers and students at Cui Hua High School kept banned books. Someone talked. Arrests followed, a student died, and a ghost story settled over the campus.
Three decades later, a transfer student arrives and starts asking questions no one wants answered. The series uses its horror-game origins carefully — the real dread is less supernatural than historical: a government that surveilled its citizens, lives erased by decree, memory deliberately buried.
Co-directed by Shiang-An Chuang and two collaborators, the show offers no tidy resolution. That's the point. Stream Detention online on iFILM.
