The Basement is a horror-thriller movie from 2018, directed by Brian M. Conley and Nathan Ives. The movie stars Jackson Davis as Craig Owen, the protagonist, Cayleb Long as his kidnapper, and Mischa Barton as a washed-up actress who becomes Craig's only hope of escaping. The movie starts with Craig Owen, a successful businessman who is kidnapped and held hostage in a basement by a sadistic and psychopathic serial killer who calls himself "The Gemini." The kidnapper is obsessed with his own Zodiac sign and has a twisted agenda of sexually torturing and killing his victims, each of whom represent a different Zodiac sign.

Craig initially tries to resist and escape, but soon realizes that he needs to play The Gemini's twisted games if he wants to survive. The kidnapper forces Craig to take part in a series of gruesome and sadistic challenges, each based on the traits of the corresponding Zodiac sign.

As Craig tries to survive the challenges, he discovers that there are other victims in the basement, some of whom have been there for months, and others who have already been killed. The Gemini is a highly intelligent and manipulative killer who takes great pleasure in toying with his victims' minds and making them fight each other for survival.

The movie also features Mischa Barton as Kelly, a former Hollywood actress who has fallen on hard times and is now working as a janitor in the building where Craig is held captive. Craig manages to communicate with Kelly and convinces her to help him escape.

As the movie progresses, tensions rise between the captives, and the situation becomes more violent and gruesome. Craig and Kelly devise a plan to escape, but they must overcome several obstacles along the way, including The Gemini's sadistic mind games and the fact that they are outnumbered by the other captives.

The climax of the movie is a tense and bloody standoff between Craig and The Gemini, with Kelly and the other captives caught in the middle. It is an intense and suspenseful conclusion that will leave audiences on the edge of their seats.

Overall, The Basement is a dark and twisted thriller that will keep viewers on their toes. The performances of Jackson Davis, Cayleb Long, and Mischa Barton are all top-notch, delivering an intense and emotional viewing experience. While the movie is not for the faint of heart, it is a well-crafted horror-thriller that is sure to satisfy fans of the genre.

The Basement is a 2018 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 30 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 4.0 and a MetaScore of 27.
