Basket Case (1982)

A seemingly normal young man is carying his deformed siamese brother in a woven basket, seeking revenge.

'Basket Case' is a cult horror film, not for its immaculate execution but for what it represents in the evolution of the genre. With an intrigue and horror that can be disturbing to many, the film is impressive considering the very limited budget, and the actually decent special effects. The actors' performances are a bit wooden but an efficient editing makes the film tolerable. And the plot of the film would deserve the attention of a John Carpenter of the '90s.

Director:  Frank Henenlotter     
With: Kevin Van Hentenryck, Terri Susan Smith, Beverly Bonner, Robert Vogel

Rating: 6/10
