The Basement

Doesn't feel like a horror movie

This movie is neither scary nor are the death scenes any interesting because everything happens off-screen. Guess they ran out of money for the special effects which is really too bad, it could have actually saved the movie from being a complete stinker. Boring.

I just can't take it seriously...

Well, this movie was one of those "so-bad-so-bad-kinda-make-it-so-good-in-a-weird-way" movies -- of course if, only if you can manage to survive at least 30 minutes into the movie?

It's bad on so many levels, actually on all the levels, plot, acting, story, make-up, you name it. It's too too too bad it comes to the point you just don't hate it anymore, you start to admire it......

I was quite impressed on the level it's so badly presented, I just can't believe people actually made any effort to make this "thing" (oh it's not a movie, has to be a joke, has to be a joke). Finally I think maybe really "everything is possible". Amen. 😓

Missed Potential

The students that go down into the basement are all so horrible, and unlikeable that when something happens you really don't mind. It is hard to get into a film when you don't like the characters.

It's hard to route for people who set fire to people, calling them freaks and offering them a taste of hell before they die, and who are more than happy to leave friends behind.

The set up was interesting, although the start of the film is boring. I liked the twist at the end too. The "monster" was really creepy and well done, it would have been nice if they would have had the budget to back it up.
