DON'T LOOK IN THE BASEMENT (AIPHallmark):: A kindly psychiatrist has strange ideas about curing crazy folk. He lets them dwell in fantasies each day until they reach a phantasmagoric breaking point and plunge back into reality...totally cured. (Sure looks good on paper.) As a result of his unorthodox views the doc gets an axe in the back as a token of appreciation from one of his graduating class and his
asylum is populated by a group of crazies that make the cast of Marat/Sade look like extras from Mary Poppins. Nymphos that make it with corpses, psychopathic ex-judges, disfigured old ladies, brain-damaged giants and assorted loonies flourish in the Doc's greenhouse of gore. Enter a pretty (natch) and thoroughly stupid student nurse and whaddaya got? A bloody, often hysterically funny and essentially rank film. From the folks who wasted your time with Last House On The Left. Movies is better than ever.
