* This does contains Spoilers, although I'm not sure it matters as it still doesn't make sense even after having watched Basement.
I love Syfy channel films, I love B-Movies whereby horror films turn into comedy and special effects could be created on Blue Peter. I can enjoy them, what I didn't enjoy was spending £4.99 to watch Basement and come out of the film having not known what I just watched.
The acting wasn't good by any stretch of the imagination, but taking into consideration not even the best actors could have worked with such an awful script I won't let this influence the rest of my review.
We are told virtually nothing of the characters, I came to the conclusion they are University students who attend anti-war protests. That's all well and good, but that's it. I didn't care about any of them, and the more or less non-existent character development only lead me to dislike them.
Films like this are guaranteed to contact the odd cliché, not Basement; their logic and decisions they make throughout the course of the film is unreal that I give it credit for being unique.
Gary who we know a little more about in that he works for an unknown Company and has to make the 'toughest decision he'll ever have to make'. Little of what he does makes any sense, and although his role does become a little clearer as the film progresses, this only added to my confusion as his motives are entirely unknown. After the initial 15 minutes he served no purpose, although this is an improvement over the others who served no purpose at all.
The ending of the film was quite fitting to be honest, I waited for something to click and explain everything but the credits started rolling before.
Maybe I'm being overly critical, there is a story to be found in there even if it doesn't make sense and the first 10 minutes weren't too bad.
It would be unfair to say this is the worst film I've seen, but I would go as far as saying it's the most pointless.
Nothing deserves a 0/10, but this comes close.
