A serial killer, nicknamed Basement Jack because of his penchant for hiding out in his victim's basements before killing them, is released and returns to the small town of Downer's Grove to continue his massacre and finish off the one victim who was able to escape is slaughter years before.This film desperately tries to be a throwback to 80's slasher films, but it is too slow-paced and padded with the killer's backstory that it commits the worst crime a slasher film can: it becomes boring. The pace does pick up in the end and there are some ambitious attempts at heavy gore; however, it is extremely fake looking and some is obviously CGI. However, the director is able to create some nice atmosphere is spots and, despite the fake looking gore, the film looks great. In the end, though, this is nothing you haven't seen before and it has been done much, much better.FrightMeter Grade: D+

When i saw some preview's of this movie i thought it could be fun nothing big but a OK movie to watch on a late rainy night,but its a major disappointment.I know that if you don't have the budget you cant do the things that you see in big blockbuster movie's and thats OK,but then you need a good story and thats the problem with this flick it has none.It never gets clever or scary and there are some strange things in this movie that just don't add up,there seems to be a very different day cycle in the town that the movie is shot,for instance in a scene where the lead female role is locked up in the room of the cop thats like in the middle of the day,she looks five minutes on a computer and breaks out of the room and in the next scene its the middle of the night and this happens a few times in the movie where the time line doesn't add up.And the fight between the killer and the lead female role is just as bad,she get stabbed with a giant dagger or something and when the dagger comes out of here there is hardly blood and she starts fighting like jackie Chan and then all of a sudden during this fight she bleeds like hell and cant hardly walk anymore,for me personal these kinda things ruin a movie.But thats my opinion as i am a critical movie watcher,but if you wanna spend some time with a movie rent something else.

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.

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
