The Basement (III) (2017)

I enjoy horror movies, even low budget horror movies. In fact, *especially* low budget horror movies.

But I don't enjoy low quality movies, even when they're 'only' horror movies.

If you are a connoisseur of inadequate acting, coma-inducingly bad writing, stilted direction and perfunctory camera-work, you may - may - just manage to derive a very small morsel of warped pleasure from this celebration of amateurism. In all seriousness, it feels as though a student made this film. And not necessarily a film student, either.

But like I said, if you don't demand any quality at all from cinema, if you like those moments when a character stands awkwardly still in a weird position for several seconds while having their throat slowly cut because the budget is low they have to get that prosthetic neck bleeding properly in one take, then sure, give it a go. You'll regret it, but that's not my problem! :)
