"Basement Jack" does a commendable job in creating a stylistic and edgy look. This film was made on a very low-budget (less than the $500,000 stated) and it was shot on a very short shooting schedule. And it looks like it cost seven figures by exemplary work by the DP, director, editor and composer. They understand the genre and delivered strong elements to create suspense and gore. The script has its weaknesses and characters make classic cliché mistakes and deliver some weak dialogue but flaws aside, there's more to like than hate, I feel. There's competent and proficient work done in this picture, technically and cinematically. It will be a straight to DVD horror flick and that's what it intended to be. It's one of those movie where you get a sense it's made by a group of young, committed filmmakers who want to share their passion, have fun and make a decent piece of entertainment. I'd recommend you pick up the DVD if you like the horror genre. And this picture actually attempts to give their killer an empathetic backstory (which I think is a little heavy-handed and one-dimensional at times and it starts to slow the pace of the film) but it was a valiant effort to add dimension and theme to typically straight-forward storytelling on this level and in this genre.
