Made on a shoestring budget by a previously unknown filmmaker and starring an unknown cast, BasketCase is a classic of the horror genre.
The film opens in the present, with Duane carrying the detached, telepathic and super-strong Belial around in a basket.
BasketCase is poignant, atmospheric, superbly executed and a textbook example of the advantages of working outside of the Hollywood system (it also has a refreshing non-Hollywood ending) on a tight budget with a dedicated, creative group of artists.
