"A rare picnic for horror fans." - San Francisco Chronicle

"Really goose - bumping suspense." - S.F Bay Guardian

"What’s in the padlocked wicker basket Duane Bradley carries with him everywhere? Why does he feed it hamburgers? Whatever it is, it certainly has no table manners! Why does he speak softly to it through the wickerwork and then occasionally turn it loose to wreak bloody revenge on unscrupulous doctors?
One of the funniest black comedy horror films to come out of Hollywood for years, with elements of Psycho, King Kong and Blood Sisters, it was shot mainly on location around Times Square, New York and features what is possibly the most bizarrely realised monster yet to splatter your screen!"

Basket Case has a weak story, crap effects and a gritty picture quality, but somehow, it has a strong following and I found myself actually watching it a second time not long after buying it.
