A true slasher film! The plot is pulled right out of the 1980s. What we will look at today is one of the finest slasher films of the last quarter of a century. A great cast with a sultry final girl, tons of gore, an enormous death count, nudity, gratuitous pre-marital sex, etc. Oh, Tiffany Shepis is in this as a nice looking policewoman. Our feature today is 2009's "Basement Jack," directed by Michael Shelton.
Growing up, Jack (Eric peter-Kaiser) was sexually abused, tortured, brainwashed, and electrocuted by his sadistic mom (Lynn Lowry). He grows up to be a vicious serial killer who breaks into basements, lives there for a time, them murders the families who live upstairs. One night he murders the Cook family except for the nymphomaniac daughter Karen (Michele Morrow). The two will fight, wound each other, and the babe will barely survive and Jack will be arrested, sent to an asylum, and eventually get out. 10 years later, Jack's back doing his thing, murdering families and eluding capture. Now he's followed by a spiteful Karen who wants to murder him. She follows him to Downer's Grove where Jack begins murdering families and nubile nymphos. The PD there at first believes Karen is the killer, but the murders continue even after she is locked up. Now dweeb cop, Watts (Sam Skoryna), is her ally and the two are now a duo.
Jack keeps killing. He kills hunks and babes in the throes of passion, young good looking families, and dozens more with his trusted machete. Karen is a Jack expert and is able to figure out where he is and who he will strike next. She'll even battle Jack, but again, to draws. Sadly, the Downer's Grove PD, with Lucille as a policewoman (Shepis) will not fare well. Neither Karen nor Watts will remain unscathed, but their determination might just bring Jack's reign of terror to an end...but then again, this is a film highly reminiscent of 80's slasher flicks.
Will the babe Karen and the psycho-Jack engage in anything other than a machete duel? Will Watts avenge the fate of his police department? Is Jack one of those psycho/slashers that just cannot be killed? This is a good one, and for those of you who love gore, high death counts, intestines leaking out of babes, or blood covered nymphomaniacs, see "Basement Jack" before Senator Mike Lee's bill becomes law.
