There have been so many copies of Don’t Look in the Basement put on home video that it’s hard to decide which would be worth your cash. Thankfully, Film Chest Media Group is here with a definitive release.
From the Press Release:
A young psychiatric nurse struggles under the worst of institutional conditions in Don’t Look in the Basement, digitally restored and available on DVD December 16th from Film Chest Media Group.
In this ‘70s B-movie cult classic, Charlotte Beale (Rosie Holotik; 1972 Playboy covergirl) goes to work at an isolated sanitarium only to learn the proprietor, Dr. Stephens (Michael Harvey; Berlin Express, Tycoon), was murdered by one of the patients.
Struggling under the horrendous conditions at the severely under-staffed asylum – and the torment heaped upon her by the patients – she is puzzled by the resistance of Stephens’ successor, Dr. Geraldine Masters (Annabelle Weenick; Cope and 1/2, Common Law Wife), to hiring new staff and by the woman’s efforts to keep outsiders at bay. Soon the patients may truly be running the asylum …
Also known as The Forgotten, Don’t Look in the Basement is considered one of the best low-budget movies in the horror/thriller genre … and there is no other film quite like it!
Also starring Bill McGee (On Valentine’s Day, 1918), Jesse Lee Fulton (The Sugarland Express, Paper Moon), and Robert Dracup (Mr. Nanny, Necessary Roughness, Pet Sementary).
Presented in full screen with an aspect ratio of 4 x 3 and original sound.
