Cortechba Overrated

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

bowmanblue I've watched the whole 'Basket Case' trilogy now and, like many who have a soft spot for cheesy eighties horror, enjoyed the first one's entertainment value. It deserves its place as a 'cult classic' from its title alone. However, it's sequels were less well known. This was possibly because the second one seemed to veer so far away from the overall dark and horrific feel of the original that it seemed like a completely different movie. And that was just 'part II!' Now we have the third instalment and it's practically unrecognisable as part of the franchise. One of my main complaints about the second instalment was that it didn't really feature the titular 'basket case' monster, dwelling more on a whole new cast of characters and freaks. At least now our murderous anti-hero gets the screen time that he was possibly robbed of in the middle film, but, even so, this feels like a totally different film when compared to the original. Like the first followed closely from the second, the third picks up right where the predecessor left off. There's a whole house-load of monsters who live quite happily with their human 'aunt,' but the basket case and his, only slightly less creepy, human brother can't seem to fit in - expect many murders to follow. The first two thirds don't really seem to go anywhere and feel just like extended padding for the final act. If you're really going to find enjoyment out of this cheeky little movie then the pay-off is what you'll be waiting for. In the last third you get the majority of the gore, the majority of the silliness and even a couple of plot points that I didn't see coming regarding characters. Realistically, it's not a bad little horror film. It's not big budget and doesn't have a single recognisable face (with the possible exception of a talk-show host!), so if you don't mind that then you'll be party on your way to get something out of this. You will certainly need an appreciation of eighties horror (yes, I know this was technically filmed in the nineties, but it's eighties at heart!) and the silliness that came with it. The best gore and prosthetics all come in the final third and, when they do, they are kind of fun. However, if you were a die-hard fan of the original, you probably won't believe how far the series strayed from the original.

Peter Mckain At the end of basket case 2 Dwain has lost his marbles a little bit and stitched Belial back on after accidentally killing Granny Ruth's daughter. so it begins with Dwain in a straight jacket getting released by granny Ruth and missing his brother he runs away. Belials girlfriend has lots of kids and Dwain approaches the police for help.Is it any good? well as other reviews have stated the special effects in this movie are top notch great gore great costume design you can tell they had fun. The plot and writing are OK it's not the best but its a B movie so I can forgive it for that. A few things annoyed me, though. one the acting has gotten even worse. Dwain is terrible and you don't really care about him as a result. At one point one of the babies is crushed to death and no one cares which adds to humour I guess what really does it is the singing for me uuuurgh why did she have to sing. But you do meet Ruths son which is cool. I would recommend this purely for fans of the first 2 and people interest in the effects.

atinder Duane Bradley is re-separated from Belial as he tired to put Belial back on to his side, so he was put in a straitjacket and a cell in Granny Ruth's house Few months later Duane is let out by Ruth, Meahwhile Belial Girlfriend who Pregnant, so Granny takes everyone to her ex-husband Doctor Hal Rockwell, As they get ready as Belial's girlfriend water-breaks and she end up giving birth to 7 others Belial's to Belial shock Duane was told to stay away from Belial and then he goes out window, only to get locked in Jail, then Police soon find out who he is, so they go to house and see the others and the babies and the Kidnap them, They bring them back Policestaions.One of the police officer pick basket that left outside that when Killing start.This movie was not funny as the other two but still had some very funny moment in this movie, they did try to be a little to funny at the some points some of the jokes didn't workI really liked the deaths scenes in this movie they are really gory and funny at the same time. I didn't like acting as it was bad in movie and I did not like the ending of this movie. I think this the weakest of the 3 in acting and plot but the deaths scenes in this movie were much better then the ones in Basket Case 2I give this movie a 6/10

andreas_bockholt I'm desperately looking for the song ,,personality'' from the movie which is sung by Annie Ross (Granny Ruth) and the freaks. But I can't find it anywhere :( Does anybody know where get it? Because there doesn't appear to be a soundtrack available.Concerning the movie, I think that this is one of the most hilarious movies ever made. Especially the freaks are just great and fun to look at. There are some great jokes and the actors do a good job, not taking themselves too seriously. I can recommend this great movie to anyone to wants some funny gore flick because this is what the movie is about. My favorite scene is when they all start singing on the bus, it's so much fun and the song is really not that bad (that's why I'm trying to get it somewhere). This is not supposed to be a real horror movie (or at least I don't think so), it's absolutely not scary, it's more like really great comedy with some gory effects. So just watch and enjoy :)
