Editorial Review: Product Description: Carrying a mysterious wicker basket around with him duane bradley arrives in manhatten. Whats in the basket? why duanes hideously misshapen siamese twin brother belial of course! duane has hit the big apple to wreak havoc on the surgeons who separated them. Studio: Image Entertainment Release Date: 07/17/2007 Run time: 91 minutes Rating: Nr Amazon.com: Here's a sick little movie for you--a creepy-funny shocker that's become a semi-cult classic since its release in 1982. It's a cheesy, low-budget horror flick about a small-town geek who arrives in New York City's Times Square carrying his mutant, telepathic twin brother in a big basket (hence the movie's title, get it?). They were once Siamese twins, and now they're seeking gory revenge against the doctors who surgically separated them against their will! Talk about brotherly love! The "normal" sibling has to keep his brother well- fed, and the basket-dweller's appetite runs the gamut from hamburgers to hookers. There's plenty of lowlife "meat" to be found in the seedy motel where the brothers live. Not exactly mainstream fare, as you might already have guessed, but director Frank Henenlotter handles the gruesomeness with resourceful ingenuity. The movie even gathered enough horror-buff momentum to spawn two lesser sequels in 1990 and 1992, which is all the proof you need to add this dubious trilogy to the gross-out hall of fame. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Basket Case Movie Review from The Massie TwinsThe first five minutes of Basket Case will determine whether or not the film is for you. You'll either be laughing uncontrollably, or be terribly annoyed. And while neither act is what the director was aiming for, Basket Case's jokiness, bad dialogue, daffy characters, and bizarre violence makes it a cult classic among low-budget horror films. It is one of the rare trashy films that is so poorly constructed it provides above-average entertainment. Duane Bradley (Kevin Van Hentenryck) ... Read More Rating:  - awesomeThis is a classic B Rated movie. This movie is pretty funny and weird. If you like old cult classics this one is for you! Rating: - Pretty much a guilty pleasure for meThe movie opens up with a man being stalked in his own home. After dieing a somewhat gruesome death. We are introduced to Duane Bradley(Kevin VanHentenryck)who is carrying a basket and renting a hotel room. The basket has a wild surprise inside. The Basket Case is a pretty good horror comedy with a revenge theme. If you take it a little bit serious, the revenge theme actually works out. I enjoyed the movie most when it revealed some background to the main characters. It gave the movie ... Read More Rating: - Forget The Lotion! The Mutant's In The Basket!The term "cult classic" is almost always used when someone talks about Basket Case. There is a reason for this. We goofballs that enjoy bizarre and wacky under-the-radar type horror and exploitation flicks are well aware of Frank Henenlotter's odd tale of separated Siamese twins gone berserk. Henenlotter is one of those directors who's also a hardcore fan of B cinema. He has his own company, Something Weird Video, that releases these black sheep of cinema. I don't even believe that if Henenlotter ...

The stop-motion animation just adds to this schlock masterpiece in regards to the poor rating that one reviewer gave. I have to say i loved it. Salute to the great photography setting of hotel Broslin giving it a trashy creepy dirty look. Definitely in my top 50 of horror movies. Makes my top 10 of low budget horror trash films. Most memorable scene is when Belial the mutant twin has ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
