Carry On Screaming was more frightening than this.
I'm beginning to wonder if I've been watching the same films as some of
the other contributers on IMDb.I enjoy good horror films and I have been taking the ratings from this site into account when deciding which films to watch ( I've learnt my lesson now ).Unfotunately most of the recommendations and reviews I have read have not been very helpful( Babysitter wanted,poor and predictable,Staunton Hill again poor,I Sell The Dead comedy horror,fell short on both counts,All The Boys Love Mandy Lane rubbish,Albino Farm was funny although not meant to be ) .This being the latest one,Basement Jack isn't remotely frightening,the acting was poor almost laughable,the film was so bad,I switched off before the end,my 8 year old nephew probably wouldn't be scared by this.Abbott and Costello made scarier films than the above.. 
I don't know why it got such bad ratings.
I picked up this movie at Blockbuster a while ago and I wrote it on a
list to come home and look up on IMDb. Reading the reviews and ratings, I was a little put off, because it only had a 3.4 star rating. After much deliberation in the movie aisle, I decided to pick it up, and I am glad I did. Not only did I get an excellent stalk and slash film, but the characters were played with an excellent degree of scare. The character of Basement Jack is one of the creepiest horror movie psycho's out there. I think what drew me to him the most is that he wasn't some half-brained zombie stalking after people like most horror movies are nowadays. Basement Jack was just a child that was horrendously abused as a child in sick, sick ways, so he was just mentally unstable, but not stupid. There was a certain level of elegance in his stalk and slash, not just stalk, stalk, stalk, kill. On the negative side, some of the characters were a little lacking in the acting department, but at the same time, it made them seem like actual people and not actors trying to portray people. Also there are a few small plot holes that don't really ever get summed up. But overall, I really enjoyed this film and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys to cuddle up with their most jumpy friends and watch someone slash up a bunch of towns people. I rate this: Definite Watch.. |
