The Basement

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.

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.

Found this little gem on netflix and didn't think much of it. Yes, the beginning is slow and the acting feels wooden but IT GETS BETTER. The ending was brilliant. And the way the killer offs his victims? Creative af. I love it. Definitely worth a watch.

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?!
