Why the Secrecy Behind Basement Jack?

After several requests to review writer Brian O'Toole's horror thriller Basement Jack the mail slot is empty and a DVD release is coming up very soon; so why would a writer or a studio not want a review of their film? Sometimes a studio like Island Gateway Films will not make a movie open to the reviewing public if they have a bad film on their hands. So, without seeing the film how would I know if the film is of poor quality? Another clue to the value of Basement Jack is that the DVD premiere is in Germany with a straight to DVD format also signalling that this film has at the very least low production values (low budget). While many films with low production values are still able to come across as entertaining, i.e. How to be a Serial Killer generally a film with a low budget will be of poor quality with a high-quality independent film the exception and not the rule. I have seen a lot of independent films and I know first-hand this statement to be true!

Therefore, fans need to be a little wary of purchasing Basement Jack. It would probably be best for fans to wait until several reviews of the film have come in and to also wait until well into the release date of the DVD to make sure that the film is worth buying and watching for yourself as most of the evidence thus far points to this Island Gateway production as being of poor quality and not worth seeing.
