We try to be as on-the-ball as we can here in The Basement, but once in a while things get by us. So, when the opportunity presents itself to tell you fine Basementites about a project we missed, we do. Good news for the makers of the upcoming thriller Dark --  the project's Kickstarter campaign hit the half way mark -- $25,000 of $50,000 raised -- after two weeks of crowdsourcing. I call that impressive. Know what's also impressive? The flick is produced by the legendary Joe Dante and written by Gut writer/director Elias. You all know Gut right? We talked about it during the last season of our show. Here's our thoughts . Dark is a wicked cool idea for a thriller: a disturbed young woman must confront her worst fears when she finds herself trapped alone in a New York City loft during the 2003 blackout. Dante and Elias have brought together a pretty good cast of hotties too. Whitney Able of Monsters fame plays Kate, the disturbed young woman, while Alexandra Brec...

6 Degrees of Hell Jason: I'm of two minds on 6 Degrees of Hell. On the plus side, it's a fun horror ride with a cool concept and batshit crazy conclusion when, well, all hell essentially breaks loose. There's some groovy stuff that goes on in this flick. I really like the Hotel of Horror, and the thought of being trapped in a creepy amusement park ride that suddenly comes to life is frightening. On the down side, screenwriter Harrison Smith is trying to do too much. There's too many characters, flashbacks within flashbacks, and unnecessary plot points. This is a case where less would have been more. And too bad the budget was low, because this is a movie that screamed for more blood and gore. As for Corey Feldman, he's this film's Sam Loomis, only with less to do. He spends the movie talking with a cop and, although I liked those scenes a lot, I wanted more of him. There should be a Kyle Brenner movie! Fans of his might be disappointed, because he ...

Like Nero said in a deleted scene from J.J. Abrams Star Trek reboot, "The wait is over." How's that for random geek porn!?! But the wait IS over, as Jason and Shawn sound off on their Month from Hell entry 6 Degrees of Hell. That's right, the Basement Dwellers have finally watched the alleged Scariest Movie of 2012 starring THAT Corey Feldman. The question now is how does a film that the duo hyped sight unseen stack up? Stick with us! Then, submitted for the approval of the Basement Dwellers by writer/director Elias, is Gut -- a psychological thriller about two friends who become addicted to a snuff film. Some have called Gut slow and too subtle, others have praised it for being a low-budget movie with depth. Now it's time for Jason and Shawn to give their two cents. Plus Mike S. takes a break from being The Basement's official twit to provide tonight's episode with a movie review of his own. This time he turns his sites on the horror sequel Urban ...
