Basement

Sometimes you just got to take heed of a low rating of a movie here on IMDb. I didn't, and decided to sit down and watch the 2010 "Basement" movie despite the low rating it had scored. Well, who knows, it might actually have some appeal to me, hence I gave it a chance.

I managed to get somewhere around 30 to 45 minutes into the movie, give or take, before I gave up out of sheer and utter boredom. Nothing, absolutely nothing of any interest or worth had happened all that time, and there was no reason for continuing on with the snoozefest that is "Basement".

The premise of the movie is adequate. I mean, a group of people are lured into a basement and trapped therein, where they are subjected to a sinister experiment.

Sure, it did sound sort of interesting. It sounded so, but it wasn't so in reality. The story was unfathomably boring to witness on the screen. And I am not sure whether or not it was the fault of the script and the screen writers, or if it was because of director Asham Kamboj.

The acting in the movie was adequate, although you shouldn't set your hopes up for anything particularly memorable or impressive here. But fair is fair, and people did actually perform quite adequately with their given roles. Just a shame that they had nothing, absolutely nothing to work with in terms of a proper script and storyline.

I am not sure whether this movie is setting up to build up some kind of suspense or just be a blunt trauma to the face of the audience. But regardless, it failed on both accounts.

I gave up on the movie, and I can in all honesty say that I am not going to give the movie a second chance and continue from where I gave up. The movie just didn't have any kind of appeal to me, and I would be lying if I say that I wasn't using my mobile phone throughout the 30-45 minutes that I managed to suffer through.

Take heed of the low rating of the movie and don't go into that basement. Give this movie a wide berth, because there are far better horror/thrillers of this kind available.

Horrific. I usually enjoy films that are so bad they are funny - or entertaining on some level, but this was truly awful to the point that I felt angry with myself for watching it to the end. I won't even go into an overview of the plot, there isn't one.It makes no sense from start to finish with the worst script ever to be delivered. Harry Enfield and his mockney characters have a lot to answer for - although I'm certain he would have performed 100 times better than these 'actors'. If you are turned on by spending just over an hour watching boring people in a boring location saying pointless and idiotic things to each other for no reason whatsoever then I suggest that you save yourself a fiver and watch Big Brother. This is, without a doubt the worst film I have ever seen. And what the hell is DCI Burnside out of the bill Talking about at the start? Do yourself a favour and spend the fiver on a slightly better takeaway than you had planned.

I've got now 493 on my list of seen movies over the past few years since I started it (around the end of 2007 and the beginning of 2008) and I've seen some really bad movies. But none bad enough to get a score of 1 on the site! This one's gotta be THE worst movie I've seen in my entire life!

I went on to check it because of Danny Dyer and Jimi Mistry, which are both good underrated actors (specially for making some B movies really good and entertaining). On this particular movie, I haven't seen any kind of acting from any of the actors. Seriously, I would do better, and I've only had 1 year of acting classes.

please, don't do the same as me. DO NOT watch this movie, unless you've got absolutely nothing better to do. and believe me, even burning your house down out of boredom would be something better to do.

This film, it has to be said, is not one of the best movies I've ever seen. Having said that, there are a hell of a lot out there that are worse in every respect. Danny Dyer's acting skills are on par with his usual ability and are pretty well matched by the acting prowess of the rest of the cast. All suffer with the usual, overused problem of being characters who don't deserve us caring about them. There is one character who is so thoroughly obnoxious that I at least thought his death came way too late. The setting is quite effective in creating a sense of claustrophobia, being one narrow tunnel after another. The mystery of the killings and who is stalking the group is somewhat weak to say the least, as is the manner in which they arrive in the titular Basement. As long as you don't go into watching this film expecting to see something amazing, you wont be disappointed. It will leave you with questions that are not answered but to be honest you wont lose any sleep over it.

I am a big fan of horror films, and an even bigger one of English horror but this movie puts the British film industry to shame. How any money at all could be invested in such a load of nonsensical rubbish is beyond me. The plot, such as it is, makes absolutely no sense, the acting is atrocious and even though the film only lasts 74 minutes, it seems like four times that due to the boredom. All that really happens is a bunch of totally uninteresting characters walk up and down the same dingy corridors over and over again talking crap and then it ends, leaving you wondering why you wasted your time watching this bilge rather than doing almost anything else you could possibly think of. I have just taken great pleasure in cutting up the DVD and disposing of it just in case someone makes the mistake of ever putting in their DVD player. I would rather gnaw my own legs off than watch this again. Do not watch if you know what's good for you!
