Leave your thoughts about The Basement.
| Film ThreatChuck FosterThe film actually succeeds on several levels. Long and Davis both turn out strong performances, bolstered by above-average writing by the directors. The strongest element, however, comes in Julia Hapney’s gruesome gore effects. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyThere’s a big twist at the end, but like everything else here, it aims for a shock effect that the film is simply too clumsy and psychologically far-fetched to pull off. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckFor all its vividly and realistically rendered graphic violence and gore, The Basement is an example of torture porn at its most ironic. It threatens to bore its audience to death. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreEvery time you think “torture porn” is dead and gone, here comes another blood-and-bludgeoning tale to try and revive it. |
| User ReviewGimly MI'm always here for a horror movie with a female killer, but when all there is on offer in support of that is embarrassing dialogue and abysmal actors who muddle their way though it, it's hard to really get through a movie like The Basement. |
