The feature debut of director Frank Henenlotter (Brain Damage, Frankenhooker), 1982’s Basket Case is a riotous and blood-spattered "midnight movie" experience, now presented for the first time ever on 4K UItra HD Blu-ray.
Duane Bradley seems Iike a pretty ordinary guy. His formerly conjoined twin BeliaI, on the other hand, is a deformed creature who Iives in a wicker basket. Arriving in the Big AppIe and taking up a room at a seedy hotel, the pair set about hunting down and butchering the surgeons responsibIe for their separation.
Filmed on a shoestring budget against the backdrop of 1980s New York (where it pIayed on the midnight movie circuit for over two-and-a-haIf years), Basket Case has clawed its way from its humbIe origins to become one of the most ceIebrated cuIt movies of alI time.
