This
short horror film, written by lead actress Kt Baldassaro, explores the extent
of our own inner monsters. Set around one character and a single location, it
is the story of a young surgery intern, Susan Larch, a woman so jaded by her
unbridled success in the world that she naively overestimates her own
importance in it. A haunting and emotional struggle between a desire to be
saved and the knowledge that only you can save yourself, Girl in the Basement
asks, “What would you really do to survive?” It juxtaposes poignant
vignettes with disturbing acts of violence, showing audiences a
psychological drama so disturbing and memorable that they will forget that they
have seen no zombies, no vampires, no inbred backwoods cannibals, no desperate
flights in terror from an unknown killer. The monster is you.
“We all have a Monster within; the difference is in degree, not
in kind.” --Douglas Preston, Il Monstro di Firenze [The
Monster of Florence].
Girl in the Basement is the collaborative effort
of acclaimed Western Massachusetts filmmaker Jared Skolnick, pop tour-de-force
and composer Lorrie Doriza of Vespertina, and independent actress and screenwriter
Kt Baldassaro, paired with the special effects prowess of Alex Squiers -- all
under the hilarious and skilled guidance of producer Robert Savage.
