Bait (2025)
By William Pattison
For my next review I got a British monster in the basement film
distributed by the people at UnCorked (AHhhhhhhh!). Well, let’s start the
torture…I mean fun…
On their way to a family gathering, mother Angela, father
Drew and their kids Lucas and Josie wake up in a dark, ominous basement after a
car accident. Trapped with a ravenous creature, caged and hungry for human
flesh, they must work together to find a way to escape with their lives. As the
family struggles to survive, Angela's brother desperately searches for them,
needing to identify their captor and uncover his dark past before it's too
late.
Well, tight upper lip, after all this is an UnCorked
production, which means micro budget and four days shoot.. oh boy! Still, once
is a while they come up with something fair watchable.
This film doesn’t redesign the wheel. The acting is good because it is British and British
people are very anal about their acting. The production quality is a bit better
than UnCorked is known for. The monster design is amusingly bad. The story is
ok. It kind of reminds me of the tacky Metallic series from Liongate, but with
a monster instead of a brain damaged guy in metal armor doing the killing.
Still very tacky.
I guess I’ll
recommend this with a lot of drinking and cannabis, that is the only way
to get through this piece of shit.
