‘Daddy’s money can’t save them now’
Bad Kids Go to Hell is a 2012 dark comedy horror film directed by Matthew Spradlin, who co-wrote it with Barry Wernick. Based on Spradlin and Wernick’s best-selling graphic novel of the same name, the film stars Cameron Deane Stewart, Augie Duke, Ali Faulkner, Roger Edwards, Amanda Alch, Marc Donato, Ben Browder and Judd Nelson.
The movie is based on a best selling indie comic book series that had fans go to a “You Cast The Movie” section of its website to offer casting suggestions for the movie. Celebrities such as Ben Browder, Judd Nelson, Marc Donato, Chanel Ryan, and Ali Faulkner, were selected to play roles in the movie, as a result.

Reviews:
“Mix The Breakfast Club with Ten Little Indians, then sprinkle with suggestions of supernatural influence, and you have Bad Kids Go to Hell, a slickly produced and brazenly clever piece of work that could attract a cult by sheer dint of its ingenious nastiness and self-aware snark.” Variety
“The overall plot works, but the execution — from the dialogue to the story beats to the tone, the emotion and the general logic — stumbles, illustrating the difficulty in fleshing out a succinct comic into a more detailed movie script. As such, plot points are left hanging, and the characters’ actions are consistently nonsensical throughout.” About.com
“Although not a good movie by any stretch, I can see Bad Kids Go to Hell eventually developing a cult fanbase among the more undemanding horror fan. There’s boobs and blood, in case you were wondering, though no real stand-out kills.” Beyond Hollywood
