Cult classic Don’t Look in the Basement coming to DVD

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

I’ve personally never seen this flick, so this is good news. 70s B-movie DON’T LOOK IN THE BASEMENT – aka THE FORGOTTEN – is receiving a brand new digital restoration and will be released in December courtesy of Film Chest Media Group.

In case you’re unfamiliar, here’s the plot:

A young, psychiatric nurse, 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 …

The film comes presented in full screen with an aspect ratio of 4 x 3 and original sound. It’ll be released on December 16th; pre-order right HERE.
