Movie Reviews of Basket Case (20th Anniversary Special Edition)
Movie Review: Colorful Characters, imaginative story, Great Movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is thoroughly entertaining from the crazy story to the supporting actors, The whole movie is great from start to finish. Dont' expect the greatest speacial effects-but Do expect a lot of em' as this is one of the early pioneers in that feild...you might even say they went over the top with the gore and the horror! It's one of those movies that tickles you in the funny bone of morbidity. It's meant to be funny in places but at the same time it creeps and crawls during all the right places. Fun for the whole family with the exception of the nude scenes!
Summary of Basket Case (20th Anniversary Special Edition)
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: NrHere'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
