BASKET CASE BY SMOKESKRENE

BASKET CASE






{overall rating}- * * *

{action}- Very slim and cheesy.

{humor}- Lots of camp.

{nudity}- Male frontal and female topless.

{blood}- Yeah, one scene its particularly orange.

{gore}- Very decent gore.

{acting}- Its "B"ad but not bad enough to hurt the quality.

{plot}- Its still a pretty original idea that involves lots of predictable concepts to accompany it.

{film quality}- Not great. The dubbing is real rough in spots.

{entertainment factor}- The pacing is actually not bad.



Sometimes when I sit down to watch a cult classic I have to ask myself why the film receives this sort of status. Basket Case is a perfect example. Who thought a man with a deformed, claymation, separated, Siamese twin who seeks revenge against the people who removed it would end up still being remembered. I think what makes a film like this special is the amount of people who saw it and were like "Can you believe how lame that was." It’s the sort of cheese you have to tell your friends about and then show it to just so you know they understand. I don't think there's anything really wrong with this movie its just not good. What it does have going for it is that its just fun. Rent it. Or Duane Bradley's brother may come a knockin' on your door.
