The Ultimate Gift to Fans of 1980’s DIY Horror Cinema!  VHS / DVD 5-Film Collection in an Exclusive VHS Collector’s Package that Includes Classic Early 1980’s Home Video VHS “Big Box” Packaging!  Also Includes the Never-Before-Released 8mm feature, The Basement, on DVD…and VHS!

 

Available for the first time on VHS and DVD, The Basement is the lost 1989 Super 8 anthology feature film directed by Timothy O’Rawe (Ghoul School). Restored by director of photography Michael Raso in 2010, The Basement is a shining example of 80’s DIY cinema inspired by Amicus Films’ Tales from the Crypt and featuring elaborate special make-up and creature effects by Scott Hart.  

 

The Basement (1989) - Directed by Tim O’Rawe. 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.

 

Swimming Pool - An unfaithful woman disposes of the evidence with a little help from a demonic water spirit.

 

Trick or Treat - Classic monsters exact revenge on a bitter man who refuses to honor Halloween. 

 

Zombie Movie - Cocaine, hookers and reanimated corpses wreak havoc on the set of an independent film.

 

Home Sweet Home - A young man questions his sanity after purchasing a house where torture and mass murder were committed 6 years before.  

 

The Basement Retro ‘80s Horror Collection also includes cult classic DIY films:

 

Captives – Available for the first time on DVD, Captives is director Gary Cohen’s follow-up to his incredibly successful SOV horror films Video Violence and Video Violence 2. Taken hostage by three violently deranged criminals, a woman fights back to save her baby and mother-in-law’s lives in this gritty and suspenseful crime drama.

 

Video Violence

In this gore-soaked cult classic, a young couple opens a video store in a small town populated by violence-addicted amateur filmmakers, lead by the demented Howard and Eli.  

 

Video Violence 2

The sequel to the Video Violence finds Howard and Eli pirating a cable TV channel for the purpose of furthering their brand of homegrown depravity, madness and murder.

 

Cannibal Campout

Deranged orphans torture, mutilate and murder innocent campers in this DIY classic from Jon McBride.

the essential Camp Motion Pictures release for horror fans, collectors, completists and bang for your buck box set seekers. The Basement isn’t good, but it is a chaotic frenzy of monsters, gore, fog, graveyards, zombies and psychotic hellfire & brimstone. In a nutshell, The Basement exemplifies most of what we love in horror movies despite budget and professional restraints.” oh-the-horror.com

Timothy O’Rawe’s unassuming feature, The Basement, quite simply left me enthralled…O’Rawe’s clever craftsmanship produces four quality camp horror tales to rival anything from HBO’s Tales From the Crypt. –
