Takes itself way too seriously

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Let me first say that Michele Morrow shows her quality as an actor in this film. She is an A-list potential actor among obscure C-list talent,throughout the firm. Unfortunately she will not earn any points on the Ulmer Scale with this film as it will pass in years unnoticed. Cinematography? 8 stars. Mathew Rudenberg's cinematography keeps this film alive and not looking like a B cult film, that explains why I waited for something to happen. I did have to skip forward in the last quarter of the film.Does not deserve a Horror listing. Nothing frightening in this movie, believe me when I say the quality of fear factor, gore, suspense, shock and awe ...is missing. I can not find a single positive comment to give other than... I highly recommend you spend your time doing anything but watching this movie. Laying on your back in your back yard, trying to look at the stars, on a cloudy night would be more fun than watching this movie.

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

I picked up this movie at Blockbuster a while ago and I wrote it on a list to come home and look up on IMDb. Reading the reviews and ratings, I was a little put off, because it only had a 3.4 star rating. After much deliberation in the movie aisle, I decided to pick it up, and I am glad I did.Not only did I get an excellent stalk and slash film, but the characters were played with an excellent degree of scare. The character of Basement Jack is one of the creepiest horror movie psycho's out there. I think what drew me to him the most is that he wasn't some half-brained zombie stalking after people like most horror movies are nowadays. Basement Jack was just a child that was horrendously abused as a child in sick, sick ways, so he was just mentally unstable, but not stupid. There was a certain level of elegance in his stalk and slash, not just stalk, stalk, stalk, kill.On the negative side, some of the characters were a little lacking in the acting department, but at the same time, it made them seem like actual people and not actors trying to portray people. Also there are a few small plot holes that don't really ever get summed up.But overall, I really enjoyed this film and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys to cuddle up with their most jumpy friends and watch someone slash up a bunch of towns people.I rate this: Definite Watch.

I wasn't expecting much from a low-budget thriller but luckily I ignored my typical Hollywood brassiness and viewed the film with my husband.I was jumped, laughed and gasped a few times (admittedly so at one of the topless scenes!) However, I was mostly interested in the lead character, which I later found out was Michele Marrow. I was really shocked I haven't seen her in more things and threw an elbow into my husbands ribs for that. Really looking forward to seeing this leading lady actually becoming a leading lady! Great film and refreshing to know that low-budget doesn't mean low-quality.
