The Basement

The Basement is not scary, so I can't really classify this as a horror film. I would classify this more as thriller, perhaps a crime film. Well written, and the actors expertly portrayed their characters. Very noir-like and very classic to the core, this film did keep me guessing as to what character was going to appear next. The noir tone persists throughout the film, and the soundtrack was very bleh throughout most of the film. It did although keep me wanting more at the ending, which is unusual for me. For a B-Rated movie with little to no special effects, that's truly amazing. Also, there's a twist. in the movie that I also find unusal, normally movies of this genre don't end in this manner. Overall, even though many other review sites rated this movie rather low, I liked this movie. I would watch it again, and recommend it to others. I give it 9.5 stars. Purely for the Originality of the film. I can't recall when I've actually seen a decent original film last.
