Avis à la une
I was immediately struck by The Basements low IMDB rating and after watching it I can entirely understand now.
It tells the story of a man kidnapped by an infamous serial killer, but this psycho doesn't just kill his victims he instead role plays with them under the guises of a multitude of characters.
This makes for oddly awkward viewing, this is very uncomfortable stuff and certainly not for the faint of heart. Arguably this is less of a thriller/horror and more of a torture porn type film.
Starring Mischa Barton the movie has a cast who deliver decent performances but the movie feels less like a story and more of a snuff film. This is not pleasant and I'm sad to say doesn't ultimately go anywhere or deliver at the end.
These films are niche, I'm not the target audience but when done right they can be clever, intelligent well constructed movies! This, is not.
The Good:
Strong performances
The Bad:
Awkward viewing
Some high grade stupidity
No real plot

Yes i did give this movie a 4/10...to be far the acting of the two main characters in the basement was quite good...and the gory scenes were pretty good too.
However!
That's it! it was a drawn out waste of time and pretty stupid story line.
Don't waste your time on this movie, there are better ways to spend your time and better movies.

It's a shame that such solid performances from the two leads get wasted on such a dull script. As is typical with many low budget limited set films, there is a lot of padding here and not much punch. With the exception of a few scenes featuring the wife of one of the two leads (Mischa Barton in a very small role), the film takes place in one room - lending it a claustrophobic effect. That is not really a good thing here. To say this one drags a bit is an understatement - it practically grinds to a halt. It gets 7/10 for performances, 3/10 for overall quality of production, and 1/10 for entertainment value. Unless you really love discovering fresh faces to keep an eye on, there's no real value here.
This is one of the most boring films I have seen in a long time.
Any sense of wonder or suspense disappears after a few minutes because the story is predictable and just plain stupid.
The only reason I gave this two stars is for the acting, which was reasonable considering everything else.
Watch five minutes at the start, and five minutes at the end, and that is the whole story worth giving time to.

To be honest, I don't get the hate on this movie. It isn't *that* boring; it isn't *that* poorly acted. I could've easily skipped this movie, as it didn't really impact the way I rate movies, but I did find myself laughing at times. The directing was poor, and the main character's acting was sub-par, but I'd still give the movie 5.6.

- AnecdotesKelky calls the police to report Craig 3 hours missing. The police say that they can not do anything because he had not been missing for 24 hours. There is no law that prohibits police from acting on s missing person case immediately. The police would never wait 24 hours for a missing toddler for instance.
