Duane Bradley (Kevin Van Hentenryck) has a secret in his wicker basket, which he carries with him constantly. Inside is his mutant Siamese twin Belial, who was cut from his side as a child and left for dead. Now the two, who share a telepathic link, have travelled to New York City to wreak bloody revenge on the thoughtless surgeons who separated them. Belial is not about to let anything get in his was, least of all the budding romance between his brother Duane and a beautiful young receptionist. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

A clean, undistilled grindhouse flick that makes up for its obviously low budget with shocking unpredictability, sick inventiveness, bizarre humour and great passion for the cause. It’s shot on grainy 16mm in the dirtiest corners of New York that would make Scorsese's Taxi Driver envious. Someone on the internet aptly summed it up by saying that “it's like E.T. if it was directed by a psychopath”. Basket Case has a premise similar to Larry Cohen's horror film It's Alive, about a murderous baby, except that here the murderer is a tiny mutant Siamese twin being carried around in a wicker basket by his brother. Unlike It's Alive, however, Basket Case doesn't take itself seriously at all, it has drive and manages to sell its main monster perfectly. You won't get its visage and loud roar out of your head right away.
