Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

JoeSkoal Let me first say that Michele Morrow shows her quality as an actor in this film. She is an A-list potential actor among obscure C-list talent,throughout the firm. Unfortunately she will not earn any points on the Ulmer Scale with this film as it will pass in years unnoticed. Cinematography? 8 stars. Mathew Rudenberg's cinematography keeps this film alive and not looking like a B cult film, that explains why I waited for something to happen. I did have to skip forward in the last quarter of the film.Does not deserve a Horror listing. Nothing frightening in this movie, believe me when I say the quality of fear factor, gore, suspense, shock and awe ...is missing. I can not find a single positive comment to give other than... I highly recommend you spend your time doing anything but watching this movie. Laying on your back in your back yard, trying to look at the stars, on a cloudy night would be more fun than watching this movie.

VegaValo Saw this film at Fangoria and I must say it is very well done. It doesn't try to be anything it's not. That said, for a low budget film it delivers and it's definitely worth watching. I've seen too many large budget horror's that don't compare to this film. Basement Jack provides all the elements of gore and the high scare factor that you would expect from a slasher movie.I particularly liked the performances of Michele Morrow (Karen Cook), Lynn Lowry (Mrs. Riley) and Nathan Bexton (the manager). Morrow was definitely the star of this film delivering a strong performance and giving her character a natural hot factor.I would definitely recommend watching this film!

smtppirate I got this, lured by the title and general first impression, looking forward to a dark and brutal horror flick, though expectations weren't very high to begin with, this was a major let down. The portrayals of the characters were really bad and made me doubt that anyone involved in the making of this movie knew anything about insanity, homicidal madness or how to properly convey it. Watching the characters behave as they did I fought an urge to stand up and stomp around cursing them for being such idiots. And tacking on a sob story to the main antagonist's past in an attempt to make some kind of sense of his killing was laughable and shallow, not very well done either. The general production quality was fairly good though... the writing and acting, not so much. No suspense, no awe, little horror and scarce laughs. The makers of this movie have a lot to learn about horror before attempting it again.

transcendingpictures "Basement Jack" does a commendable job in creating a stylistic and edgy look. This film was made on a very low-budget (less than the $500,000 stated) and it was shot on a very short shooting schedule. And it looks like it cost seven figures by exemplary work by the DP, director, editor and composer. They understand the genre and delivered strong elements to create suspense and gore. The script has its weaknesses and characters make classic cliché mistakes and deliver some weak dialogue but flaws aside, there's more to like than hate, I feel. There's competent and proficient work done in this picture, technically and cinematically. It will be a straight to DVD horror flick and that's what it intended to be. It's one of those movie where you get a sense it's made by a group of young, committed filmmakers who want to share their passion, have fun and make a decent piece of entertainment. I'd recommend you pick up the DVD if you like the horror genre. And this picture actually attempts to give their killer an empathetic backstory (which I think is a little heavy-handed and one-dimensional at times and it starts to slow the pace of the film) but it was a valiant effort to add dimension and theme to typically straight-forward storytelling on this level and in this genre.
