"An anthology film from deep, deep within the world of low-budget Super 8 horror filmmaking. Pulled up from the depths and presented to us for our enjoyment. Thank you, depths! This one is fun." - Dan Budnik, BleedingSkull.com

"An endearingly threadbare homage to Tales from the Crypt." - Nathaniel Thompson, Mondo-Digital.com

"If you are searching for an ambitious early attempt at movie making this is right up your alley." - Shawn Brucker, Foul Feast

Four strangers are summoned to the basement of an abandoned house by a mysterious entity known only as The Sentinel. One after another, they are forced to witness heinous deeds they have yet to commit - and which will damn them for all eternity.

The Basement is a shining example of '80s DIY cinema inspired by Amicus Films' Tales from the Crypt and featuring elaborate special make-up and creature effects by Scott Hart.
