Rating:  - Banned In Iceland
"Don't Look in the Basement" is a 1970s drive in movie so tasteless it was actually banned in Iceland. Despite that lucid and revealing indictment from the world's oldest democracy, this is one of the better "inmates running the asylum" slasher movies from the era, with some genuine creepiness and an occasional good performance, notably from Bill McGhee as Sam, a well-adjusted lobotomy victim.

(3.5/5 stars) An alternate title for the film is "The Forgotten," which seems to fit this film's status rather well. Don't let the generic title or the probability that you've never heard of this movie deter you from watching it because it delivers rather satisfactorily. This is a very low budget horror film from 1973, starring no one you have ever seen before. Indeed, the acting is less than stellar, though it isn't bad and I have seen much, much worse. The lighting is rather poorly done, which isn't ... Read More
