How could somebody like myself NOT give this five stars???

Although its a brilliant, humorous, gory and entertaining horror movie, "Basket Case" is a movie that's probably not for everybody. For those seeking a big-budget, two-and-a-half-hour psychological affair with more twists and turns than your brain has room for, this is NOT for you.

HOWEVER!!!
If you want a low-budget, high-quality cheap-thrill of a comedy-horror crossover, "Basket Case" will become your new beloved Friday night splatter-fest. The plot has been retold in other reviews, so I won't get to that. However, I WILL pinpoint the highlights of this movie in hopes that they will inspire you to go check it out:

- Lots of blood and gore. You can tell how cheap the special effects are, but that's part of what makes them so great!
- Lots of cheap laughs/jokes, etc.. At one point, Duane and the nice lady across the hall from him, forget her name, go to a bar and have a little too much booze. Drunken hilarity ensured!
- Colorful and imaginative characters. There's a budding romance between Duane and the girl that works at a doctor's office he visits at one point. This adds a nice touch throughout the movie.
- Brotherly relations. Throughout the movie, we also see some develeopment between Duane and his severed brother, Belial. This actually adds depth to the movie and makes it even more interesting.
- Shocking ending. I won't give away what happens, but after you watch this movie, just know that there's a sequel so anything that may happen to Duane or Belial isn't permanent. (THANK GOD!)

In conclusion, "Basket Case" is a low-budget comedy-horror crossover full of cheap laughs, heavy gore, some brilliant character development and an ending that ensures a dynamic sequel! Pick this up for your rainy Friday night, kick back and enjoy the madness! Thanks for the time, and peace.

I remember this film on the VHS format back at the time when I rented it.It is a film on DVD for you cult fans to see.How a young boy suffered with a diformity of a creature type brother attached to him.As brothers they were very close to one another by being shelterd by the real world.The Father was very distressed by this freak thing that happened to his newly born son.An operation was created to sepaarte the brother from him. Belile was the deformatly brother.Dwane was the one that looked after him.They did not want this operation to perform.Belile was terrified to have this operation.As the movie goes on he takes his brother in a basket to New york City.Why?To get after the doctors that did this operation.They do that.But the stress comes on Dwayne when he leaves his brother for a minute in their seedy motel that they stayed in.Dwane finds a nice girl he relates to .While Belil feels Unsecure and alone.Yes this movie as a gory film in its own way has feelings.So I will say no more and you viewers find out what happens at the end.

Put the deformed mutant midget in the basket...

I remember seeing this movie in a video store a long time ago but I never saw it until recently. It is a good movie if a bit low budget. Some of the special effects weren't too special if you know what i mean. The stop motion sequence is quite funny but back in the day it must have looked, oh who am I kidding it probably looked like crap back in the day too. Whenever Belial kills someone it looks kinda silly. The funniest part is when Belial kills the nosy neighbor. He's supposed to be mauling him but he's just kinda weakly pawing at his face. That scene made me guffaw heartily. But still I found it to be an enjoyable film. It will definitely fill your gore quotient with plenty of violent scenes.

Pros:angry midget with a penchant for killing and sitting on womens groins and making them bleed(what was that about?)
Cons:crappy special effects Weird hotel/apartment(It's supposed to be a hotel but all the people seem to just live there like it's an apartment. I don't know, man.

Colorful Characters, imaginative story, Great Movie!

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!
