It's an intense story that's worth seeking out if you like movies that explore the dark sides of humanity ... The moral of the story is that people don't really know what extreme things they might do until they're pushed to the edge.

A micro-budgeted effort filmed over 14 days, I Hate the Man in my Basement carries with it that same sense of urgency and it radiates throughout the entire film.

Rated: 4.0/4.0

Though there are instances of hammy acting by the supporting cast, the two leads have good chemistry and realistically portray their characters.

Rated: 3/5

Eye for Film

Dustin Cook's intelligent script finds humour in the most difficult places even whilst denying viewers easy rewards. The characters are complex and intriguing, inhabiting a world in which nothing is fair.

Rated: 4.5/5

Film Threat

I Hate the Man in My Basement is a fun thrill ride that needs sharper twists and turns to match the intensity of the exciting plot idea presented.

This a great little indie film. Performances are great and super emotional but not going to be for everyone. But I was up for it.
