In the Basement: That's how you do it
Plot
A young girl is kidnapped, forced to play the role of one of his daughters in a perverse family fantasy he has devised. However on this occasion he may have kidnapped the wrong girl.
Cast
Unfamiliar
Verdict
Standing at around 14 minutes this is enough time to tell some sort of story albeit a limited one. In the Basement manages to do this, in fact it knocks it out of the park and delivers an incredible tale.
The cast are great, the execution is near flawless and though the big finale twist may not come as a surprise it's done so well and it's so fitting it's hard to be mad.
It's people like writer/director Matthew McGregor that need calling up to Hollywood to show them how it's done.
The Good
The Bad
Rants
Taste is subjective, but looking at the profile of one of those who slammed this I have to question that.
Bucket List 1/10 but Mortal Kombat the cartoon 10/10 Pay It Forward 2/10 but Billie Piper Honey to the Bee 10/10 Burn Notice 1/10 but Jack & Jill 10/10 Avatar 1/10 but every Kanye West music video 10/10.
