Here are 5 reasons why you should see The Basement:
5) Mischa Barton!
Were you a huge fan of Marissa Cooper on The O.C. from like I was!?! Mischa Barton is so good at becoming this flawed and vulnerable character, Kelly Owen, in the opening minutes! Barton becomes hauntingly arresting as Kelly worries about the whereabouts of her missing husband.
4) Craig!
As Craig and Bill, Cayleb Long and Jackson Davis deliver must-see performances that audiences want and expect. Long has interesting reactions to each of Davis’ alternate personalities. Through Long’s performance, Craig has to be sympathetic and quick-witted against his captor.
3) Bill!
Though he’s playing multiple characters, Jackson Davis makes sure each one is grounded in emotion. There’s an inevitable sadness within Bill, who understands time is running out for Craig. Davis becomes increasingly loose as Craig becomes more and more paranoid!
