The last time we talked about the UK thriller BASEMENT was back in December when we brought you some promo art and the synopsis. A half year later, we’re happy to announce we’ve now got the trailer and an even longer synopsis.
The film stars Danny Dyer, Jimi Mistry, Emily Beecham, Kierston Wareing, Lois Winstone and Christopher Ellison and was written and directed by Asham Kamboj. Dig on the plot breakdown and trailer below!
Driving home from an anti-war protest, five demonstrators – Gary (Dyer), Sarah (Wareing), Saffron (Winstone), Derek (Mistry) and his girlfriend Pru (Beecham) – are forced to make a pit stop in the middle of the forest in order to answer nature’s call. Taking the opportunity to stretch their legs, the individuals wander off briefly with Gary, Sarah and Pru returning to the car to find Derek and Saffron missing. Their search for their companions leads them to a metal hatch leading down to a dank and dirty underground shelter. Believing Derek and Saffron must have gone down into it and somehow become lost or trapped, Gary convinces the others follow, despite Pru and Sarah’s reservations.
In the eerie darkness of the shelter, their worst fear becomes a reality when the hatch clanks shut above them, locked and leaving them no option but to walk deeper into the basement’s depths in search for another way out. Worse, in the shadows lurks an unseen terror that will soon have all five friends fighting for the lives unaware that one of their number knows much more about their circumstances than they are letting on.
BASEMENT opens at UK cinemas on AUGUST 20th, and will be available on DVD right after, on AUGUST 23rd. Check out the official site HERE
