A thing of modest B-movie beauty.

One of the pioneers of exploitation horror, complete with nudity, gore, hilariously absurd dialogue, and silly creature effects.

It shouldn't work at all, but amazingly it does and exceptionally well too.

Henenlotter took a slice of every one of his beloved subgenres and built a bloody, rubbery yet tasty horror sandwich that gave watchers a monster they would not only fear but feel sympathy for by the end of the movie.

Everything about the film is gratuitous, and, despite its essential humorlessness, it's almost hilarious in a sidelong sort of way.

An exploitation masterpiece.

Feb 01, 2015Gotta respect the classics, they're loads of fun, even if they do have arguably the worst acting in cinematic history.Gimly M Super Reviewer

Feb 21, 2013A completly mental concept executed with the lowest budget possible, pulling laughs everytime the creatures shows up, for it is so lamely made and executed, you almost feel sorry for this tragic violent beast. Not just that, the acting is one of the worse ever seen but it complements the cheesiness of it all so well, it actually works. It's only shocking because of the atrocious sound design that got on my nerves more than once, but again, it just works since the rest of it so lame. A definite watch for fans of the genre and to discover Henenlotter's mental style, to serve as an appetite for his upcomingly mental Brain Damage.Francisco G Super Reviewer

Nov 04, 2011Basket Case was 1 of my favorite horror movies when I was little.After watching it recently, I cant believe I use to like it so much.Its an OK movie but the acting & special effects are so bad in some parts, You can't help but laugh.It seemed more like a horror comedy then a horror flick but maybe that was what the director was going for.Makes me wonder.......Brody M Super Reviewer
