i personally have a soft spot for horror film that be set in hospital and asylum so i have a good feeling about watch this don not look in the basement and even though it reputation be doubtful . well and turn out i be right . this be great and trashy entertainment with a couple of efficient shock and delightfully absurd character . you have to and of course and look beyond the poor production value and the completely illogical plot but and if you manage to do that ( and if youre a fan of this type of horror and that an essential quality ) and you will be reward with an outrageous video nasty in which blood and insanity form the main element . the young and cute nurse charlotte arrive at a remote sanitarium where she suppose to start her new job . she find out that the doctor who hire her be kill by a patient and the replacement doctor in charge master seem reluctant to accept the new arrival . the life inside the sanitarium be rather peculiar and with the patient run around free and every door be keep unlocked . after a whole series of bizarre event and charlotte discovers the horrific secret that the institution hide . the opening 10 minute ( pre credit ) be great and so be the completely derange climax . everything in between be pretty much without surprise or tension but you patiently wait because you just feel that the finale will be wild fun . the asylum patient be textbook lunatic and but i love them nevertheless . some of my favorite include the former judge ( who still talk exclusively in legal term ) and the suspicious army sargeant and the mad rave old lady . don not look in the basement be great low brain fun and especially recommend to fan of 70 trash cinema and sick puppy and other type of scum . the lunatic have take over the asylum and yeah .
