We’ve seen lots of underground horror around here–and I mean that literally.  We’ve had church basements and cellars and everything else, so it shouldn’t really surprise anyone that today we’re going to the basement!

And for a young man, alone in the house playing Xbox Live after discovering his mother has gone to the store and left him with the simple task of bringing up a roll of Bounty from the basement, that basement is going to be a lot more dangerous than he imagines.

Basically, Basement is one long, rolling fight scene that will take place all over the house.  It’s not too bad, as long as you like your horror with a lot of action in it.

Sure, the plot is simplistic, and the action is a bit overdone and there are some serious problems with continuity and engineering (the video will regularly stutter for some reason, the main character runs pretty well on his stabbed leg before remembering his leg was stabbed, and for some reason, the main character will hit his pursuer with the narrow end of a baseball bat.), but otherwise, this sucker’s not half bad.

Frankly, I have seen vastly worse.

The Screenhead Ten Scale, meanwhile, gives a nod of respect to two young up and coming filmmaker types and hopes to spur them on by giving them a better than average six out of ten.  Not bad, guys.  Next time, something with a bit more PLOT, okay?
