BASKET CASE

One of the all-time best, goriest and campiest cult classics of the 80s. Duane Bradley and his deformed brother Belial are siamese twins. At a young age they are forced to undergo surgery to separate them. Years later the telepathically linked brothers head to New York City, Duane carrying Belial around in a wicker basket, hellbent on seeking revenge on the doctors who separated them. With everything going as planned, Duane unexpectedly falls in love with a receptionist named Sharon which sets Belial into a jealous rage. Not willing to let anyone come between him and his brother, Belial decides to take matters into his own mutated hands. Basket Case is without a doubt in a league of it’s own. It’s bizarre and twisted, horrific yet hilarious, completely outrageous and it works on all levels. Even the amateurish acting lends itself to the film’s greatness by adding to the camp factor. Despite it’s superfluous nature, Basket Case has many shocking moments including the disturbing scene where Belial, shall we say, confronts Sharon. There is also some impressive stop animation sequences. So if you’re looking for a grotesque and gory, good time then your search ends here. Basket Case more than delivers. Followed by two sequels.
