Basket Case was a low-budget comedy/horror film released in the 80′s. It’s one of those movies so bad, you wonder why you are watching, yet you are compelled to watch–at least once.
Kevin Van Hentenryck stars as Duane Bradley who was a conjoined twin at birth. Their mother died during childbirth and the father was disgusted with the twins, especially Belial who was grossly malformed. He wanted the twins separated and turned to doctors in hopes of Duane being able to lead a normal life and letting Belial die. Instead, Belial lived, but was a monstrous form that Duane carried around in a basket.
Duane and Belial want to seek revenge on the doctors who separated them and proceed to track them down. Duane is excited when he gets his first date, but this leads to a sinister ending with his twin’s involvement.
There is blood and gore in this movie and the quality is obviously low-budget. It isn’t your typical, contemporary horror movie and isn’t suited for young children, but it has some entertainment value.
