Basement (2010). 1h 14m

“Sometimes you just got to take heed of a low rating of a movie here on IMDb. I didnu0026#39;t, and decided to sit down and watch the 2010 u0026quot;Basementu0026quot; movie despite the low rating it had scored. Well, who knows, it might actually have some appeal to me, hence I gave it a chance.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI managed to get somewhere around 30 to 45 minutes into the movie, give or take, before I gave up out of sheer and utter boredom. Nothing, absolutely nothing of any interest or worth had happened all that time, and there was no reason for continuing on with the snoozefest that is u0026quot;Basementu0026quot;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe premise of the movie is adequate. I mean, a group of people are lured into a basement and trapped therein, where they are subjected to a sinister experiment.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSure, it did sound sort of interesting. It sounded so, but it wasnu0026#39;t so in reality. The story was unfathomably boring to witness on the screen. And I am not sure whether or not it was the fault of the script and the screen writers, or if it was because of director Asham Kamboj.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe acting in the movie was adequate, although you shouldnu0026#39;t set your hopes up for anything particularly memorable or impressive here. But fair is fair, and people did actually perform quite adequately with their given roles. Just a shame that they had nothing, absolutely nothing to work with in terms of a proper script and storyline.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI am not sure whether this movie is setting up to build up some kind of suspense or just be a blunt trauma to the face of the audience. But regardless, it failed on both accounts.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI gave up on the movie, and I can in all honesty say that I am not going to give the movie a second chance and continue from where I gave up. The movie just didnu0026#39;t have any kind of appeal to me, and I would be lying if I say that I wasnu0026#39;t using my mobile phone throughout the 30-45 minutes that I managed to suffer through.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTake heed of the low rating of the movie and donu0026#39;t go into that basement. Give this movie a wide berth, because there are far better horror/thrillers of this kind available.”
