Don' Look in the basement-Elvira's Movie Macabre airing

"Don't Look in the basement"

A young pretty nurse goes to a rural insane asylum for work. Now this isn't your normal nuthouse,it is set in a old wo
re down home,and there isn't locks on any of the doors. And right before the new nurse gets there,one of the patients kills the head doctor with an ax. You have a nice collection of patients. There is the Judge,who either was or thinks he is a court judge and is also the person that killed the head doctor. There is Sarge,who still thinks the war,I am assuming from what time frame this was filmed in it would be Nam,is still going on. You have one lady who carried around a baby doll that she thinks is her real kid. And another lady that is a total nympho. Then there is Sam,Sam is a very large man who has the mentality of a 8 year old and seems to just want to be friends with every one.Oh he also LOVES Popsicles. Well most of the patients warm up pretty quick to the new nurse. And Sam keeps telling her that the dead doctor is talking him on a daily basis. Well things seem as normal as they can be at a house of the mentally ill. Then one night the new nurse is confronted by this older woman that vaguely warns her about something not being right in the house. This messes with the young nurse and the next day she finds out that it seems the old lady has cut out her own tongue. Things start going down hill from this point and keep it up till the ending. Now I don't want to spoil the ending at all. But it is a decent twist and helps makes up for the low budget and some of the bad acting.This is either in the public domain or assumed to be cause it isn't hard to find it on dvd super cheap. I have 4 different dvds/dvd sets that have it. The first one was one of the old Brentwood 10 movie packs. This was the first place I saw it. Then I have  a cheap dvd with 3 films one of with is "Don't look". Then  a dollar dvd that I picked up cause I liked the cover. And finally one of those Mill Creek 50 movie packs.
