Celebrating the success of business is one of the fun key factors of the new thriller, ‘Bad Kids of Crestview Academy.’ The action film held its premiere last night at Studio Movie Grill in Dallas, in honor of it being distributed into select theaters and On Demand and Digital HD today by Momentum Pictures. Those who attended the premiere from the movie included director and actor, Ben Browder, as well as stars Sammi Hanratty, Ali Astin and her fiancé, Ben Urbinas, Sophia Ali, Matthew Frias, Ashlyn McEvers, Erika Daly and producer-co-writer James Hallam.

The comedy-infused movie, which was shot in Dallas, is based on the ‘Bad Kids’ graphic novel series, and serves as the direct sequel to the 2012 mystery movie, ‘Bad Kids Go to Hell.’ The new follow-up marks the feature film directorial debut of Browder, who also reprised his role of the title academy’s janitor, Max Rainwater, from the original installment. Along with Hallam, the action adventure movie was penned by executive producers Barry Wernick, who also co-penned the first film.

‘Bad Kids of Crestview Academy’ follows a group of spoiled bad kids, including Ben (Drake Bell) and Faith (Sophia Taylor Ali), have been placed in Saturday detention at the prestigious title high school, on the order of Headmaster Nash (Sean Astin). One of the students, Siouxsie (Sammi Hanratty), who isn’t as privileged as her classmates, locks their teacher, Dr. Knight (Sufe Bradshaw), in order to uncover details about her sister’s death without getting being stopped.

As a result, the students find themselves trapped in their school without any way out, and are left wondering who, or what, set them up. Their ranks quickly dwindle as each falls victim to a gruesome accident while trying to escape.
