LouHomey From my favorite movies..

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

znbroxton Right from the beginning this film was confusing and disjointed. The characters had no back story or even mild explanation as to who they are, anywhere in the story. There weren't likable, to the point where you were wishing something awful would happen to them. After repeatedly running and getting lost, when we finally find out what the deal is, you still really don't come to any realisations. When eventually someone makes it's to the white room, you're told "Genetically Modified Twins"!!!! Give me a break!!! By putting contact lenses in a persons eyes, do not a monster make! You'd get more entertainment watching re-runs of "I Dream of Genie".

Sammy_Sam_Sam Oh, the irony! I enjoy watching Danny Dyer movies, simply because they're so laughably bad, but this one is so bad it's dreadful. The script is terrible, the story nonsensical, the music is bizarre, the acting reminds me of secondary school drama class and for the most part, relatively little happens. There is a storyline and some action does occur eventually, but by the time it happens you'll probably either have stopped watching or nodded off. I've given it 3 out of 10 and the only reason it wasn't a 1 was because Danny made me laugh so much. From his "I want to be somebody" line to his comical run, Danny brings some (no doubt unintentional) humour to proceedings. There is also a great moment where Danny says: "I've done something terrible, and I've got to live with it for the rest of my life". He delivers the line so well that one can only assume that he was thinking about this movie.

chalkey1979 I've never written a review on here before, never felt the need to...but this film is so mind- numbingly awful that I felt I must.Let me just say that I like the odd bad B-movie horror film, I can suspend my rational brain for occasional bad scripts, poor acting, terrible CGI, stupid characters & unrealistic plots, but this...well this is just an abomination of a film.The thing about Basement is, well, every single thing is badly done. I'll go through it bit by bit;Story: Virtually non-existent & at times it was just plain head-scratchingly stupid. The odd cliché is fine in horror films but this was like a lesson in how not to do things. The big 'reveal' just makes you say 'eh?', which I'm sure is not what they were aiming to achieve.Characters: Zero depth & no time was spent on development of any character, not a single one was likable & in horror films you really need to have at least one person you want to live (not just because one is pregnant either, that was a cheap & lazy move in this film). The men were loutish & hateful & the girls were just pathetic. Script: Sounded like it children wrote it with crayons on fancy coloured paper. People shouting, babbling & talking in riddles most of the time. Jimi Mistry's mockney stereotype was the worst, I felt, when he confronted a stranger with something along the lines of "what, you & your friends having a p**sy, p**sy row with us now?", not a sentence I'd ever confront anyone with after they'd just attacked me (& that censored word is about urine. Not, a lady's parts...for anyone wondering).Acting: To be fair, Marlon Brando would have struggled with this script/story but, it was dreadful anyway. As I have mentioned, Jimi Mistry's terrible 'fake hard-nut cockney' complete with Colin Farrell accent is the worst. That said, all the girls give him a decent run for his money with their confusing mimsy withering & shrieking. Danny Dyer, well he is just Danny Dyer. Every character he ever plays should be called Danny, it'd just be easier.Production: This whole film has a kind of quarter finished feel...as if this was the product of a trial run of the cameras/sound equipment/lighting etc. It wouldn't surprise me to find out that this was filmed in an afternoon. All in all, there is literally nothing to this film at all. You would gain nothing from watching it. Being bored is more fun.Earlier, I used the word 'horror' I might as well mention that it's not in any way scary & I assume they were hoping that it would have a claustrophobic feel to it, but it really doesn't. The ending is probably the worst part of all. After this ending, all you can do is shrug. Which is probably a fitting tribute to this film. A massive shrug. If I could give it zero I would, it is most certainly the biggest waste of time I've ever spent staring at a rectangular flashing box.

DanielKing I don't know why I do it to myself, I really don't. This is unquestionably the worst film I've seen this, or possibly any, year.The acting is appalling, the dialogue is worse (see 'memorable quotes' for some examples I have added), the direction is amateurish (the opening scene between Danny Dyer and his Mum is so badly framed that half her face is missing) and the sets are worse than Dr Who c. 1989. It really has to be seen to be believed - but don't. Take my word for it. It kind of sums the film up that they spell the leading lady's name incorrectly in the trailer.
