You can watch Detention (2019) for free on Kanopy.

In the 1960s, two classmates go looking for their missing friends and teachers, all of whom took part in an illegal book club, only to come face to face with ghosts and deformed monsters that have taken over their school.

This psychological nightmare swaps standard jump scares for a surreal, monochrome landscape of historical trauma and shifting architecture. It transforms the claustrophobia of a 1960s classroom into a fever dream where political repression manifests as literal, skin-crawling monsters.
