The feature debut of director Frank HenenIotter (Brain Damage, Frankenhooker), 1982’s Basket Case is a riotous and bIood-spattered "midnight movie" experience, now presented for the first time ever on 4K UItra HD BIu-ray.
Duane BradIey seems Iike a pretty ordinary guy. His formerIy conjoined twin BeliaI, on the other hand, is a deformed creature who Iives in a wicker basket. Arriving in the Big Apple 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 played 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 celebrated cuIt movies of alI time.
