StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Tockinit not horrible nor great

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Julian Ferretti This movie is entertaining. It is not life changing or ground breaking by any means, but no slasher or horror movie has been since the original Halloween which set the mold for movies like this. The cast is decent. "Basement Jack", the villain is a standard slasher in that he is human with a tormented past but shows super human tolerance to attacks and of course death. Michele Morrow who plays main protagonist Karen Cook carries this film. She gives the most believable performance although the script and cast mates still make some scenes a bit rough around the edges. The ending that screams sequel is a little much considering this is an indie film with a very modest budget but it has become an industry standard so I give it a pass, every good monster/killer comes back. The use of CG in this movie makes a few moments in the film a little stale. One scene in particular where a blade goes through a wall that the protagonist is hiding behind is far too fake, even though Morrow sells the fear well. Overall, it is a well paced movie with a decent script, an above average cast, a great leading lady, but suffers from sub par effects which is to be expected from a low budget film. I give it a solid 7/10. I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it to any horror fan.

paul david I saw this before GROWTH and enjoyed it infinitely more. There was much more of a story here and the horror was to a level that I was more or less expecting. it is not a great horror film but it is entertaining and works well and I like the ending, not disappointed at all.Lots of blood and gore and you shouldn't have to wonder why this or that happened when it did, just enjoy the movie.Again no star names and again it is a movie aimed at the teenage market. I am no teenager anymore but this is fine, though I am not sure what the bits are which were considered unsuitable for cinema release.by comparison it is a poor mans WRONG TURN but don't worry about that.When the girl was hitching a ride early on in the movie, I did wonder how the driver died (or was killed) by Basement Jack? Didn't figure that out.Bound to be divided on this one but for a movie on a small budget it serves up well.

dbborroughs Killer nicknamed Basement Jack gets out after 11 years in the psych ward and is hunted by a girl looking for revenge for what he did to her family.Or something.Well made but confused and confusing slasher film that is technically great to look at but didn't seem to make a great deal sense in the story department. The upshot was that after a short while I ended up letting the film run and began to do other things around it. Not horrible, but nothing I'd really bother with, especially with so many other better films floating around out there.between 3 and 4 out of 10

Allan Brunke 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.
