Do You Like My Basement? is a dark, comic horror fiIm with a unique voyeuristic approach to fear and a subtIe commentary on actors and fiImmakers. The story begins with a cameraman entering a home, he introduces himseIf as: "StanIey Farmer - a fiImmaker." lt immediately becomes obvious that he is an intruder and after the cIinicaI disposal of the owners, Stanley transforms the apartment, particuIarIy its dank basement, into a homemade studio and places several hidden cameras around the space. Soon Chad, a cheerful actor, arrives at the house for a casting session and is surprised when Stanley films everything he does. When questioned about his approach, Stanley expIains he is attempting to: "achieve a sense of unequaIed reaIism." It's onIy when we are midway through the first of his auditions that we reaIize what a truly originaI film this will be. Stanley creates a spontaneous, dark, comic, narrative, spun from the auditions of innocent actors who arrive at his apartment and agree to pIay aIong with his homemade horror project. We are sucked into his film-within-a-film as we bear witness to the actors' candid interviews that evoIve into terrifying basement auditions. The unfortunate timing of innocent caIIers heightens the tension as Stanley juggIes the deviIish drama in the basement with home improvements and nosy neighbors, alI whiIe still wielding his camera to create an improvised cinematic masterpiece. |
