The Basement

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.

This film is so boring.

I forced myself to keep watching just to see if anything interesting happened in the end. It did not.

Poor acting. Poor story. It was comical at times just how bad it was. I assume we are supposed to get some fantastic insight in to the killers mind, but the whole thing was pointless.

Seing movies like this one makes you feel that something was stolen from you. I feel the time I spent watching this sick junk was stolen from me and I want that time back. Misha Barton is one of those actors who makes you think of those silent era actors who didnt fit in when the sound came because of their voice. Her voice just doesn´t fit with her looks. Jackson Davis actually did a good performance here though.

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.

Plainly put, this film (as mentioned in the title) was pretty boring. I don't usually go into a film "blind" as in without watching a trailer for it 1st but I kinda wish did for this as it might have saved me 1hr 25mins of sheer boredom. Five minutes in and I already had reservations about it, but I stuck with it to give it a chance in the hope it would improve.

It did not.

It didn't get worse, but it definitely didn't get any better.

The acting is mediocre at best, but I will say that the best of a bad bunch was Jackson Davis as Billy who did a fairly decent job with all his "personalities". Although it probably wasn't that hard to be a stand out amongst the rest of the actors, and I don't know why Mischa Barton got such a prominent mentioning, as she was bland, uninteresting and soulless throughout the film.

The film is littered with the usual cliché's that you'd expect to see in a kidnap/torture film as well, which I guess is to be expected but you always live in hope. As for the twist at the end. Meh. It didn't make my jaw drop, but was a mediocre part of the movie that made it just a smidge better.

Take my advice and give this a miss. I know films, like any other art form, is subjective, but how anyone could rate this so highly is merely baffling. Just proves that there's always something for everyone, I guess.

Also, who the Hell takes a Lamborghini to go to the store as well?!
