The Cellar

A few years ago I bought a movie called The Cellar. I had heard that it was supposed to be a great movie, but it turned out that it was a flop and a B-Movie. The story is good, but there are no good effects in the movie. (Maybe they didn't have enough money for that on the budget???). If you choose to watch this movie be sure to watch it three times. The first, only and last time!!!

I just saw it again on cable i had forgotten about this movie. After seeing it i now remember why, its insane what a boy imagination can do, and all the rambo type stuff he does while is father tries to deny everything he says. Well i guess those where the 80.

This movie has something not many horror/thriller movies have now days, class. If you saw this in the late 80's/early 90's like me when you were a kid there was just something about it that stuck around. It may be a B movie, but the acting is quite a bit above average for normal B movies. It's a movie that struck terror in my heart as a kid and I had to search for it for years in order to find it. I think the main driving sell point of this movie is it's about a kid being true to his family and himself and facing his fears even though no one will listen or believe him. Really I would say it has a little sprinkle of the "Goonies" in it with all the booby traps and the problem solving the kid does to try to take this demon down, and of course a happy ending that makes this movie a must see! So what are you waiting for, give it a chance!

In THE CELLAR, a boy finds a monster / demon living in the cellar of his dad's new house. It seems that the local natives put a curse on the land many moons ago. Of course, no one believes junior, even when people start vanishing. The story is clunky, the characters are rather lifeless, and the monster is only shown for about 30 seconds. Still, the creature is just cheeeze-tacular enough to make the rest endurable. If you enjoy the schlocky horror of the 1980's, then this is a must-see...

This isn't a bad movie. It's a little slow, but it has a good plot. It's about some evil creature which is resurrected by a young boy. If you're bored, and want to see something different, this movie is for you.

Mediocre at best. Slow, but probably more entertaining to the younger viewers. A young boy(Chris Miller) is haunted by an Indian spirit and horrid monster in the cellar of his father's new home. Also in the cast are Patrick Kilpatrick, Suzanne Savoy and Ford Rainey.

A family moves into an old house in the desert.There is a long commentary at the beginning that talks about an evil spirit that dwells in a tunnel below this house.The Indian creature occasionally manifests itself to frighten the little boy staying in the house and to pick off a stray secondary character.I remember seeing "The Cellar" several years ago and was highly unimpressed.There is no gore and nudity in this suitably dull monster feature from usually uneven Kevin Tenney.The script is silly and the direction lacks enthusiasm.The performances are passable,but they can't save this film from fading into obscurity.A generous 5 out of 10.
