Why it’s HorroRated
Basket Case is Frank Henenlotter making something singular on almost no budget in Times Square. Duane and Belial are one of horror's great duos and the film has a grimy downtown New York energy that can't be faked or recreated. A cult classic that earned every bit of that designation.
Synopsis
Frank Henenlotter made this on almost no budget in a Times Square that no longer exists, and the result is one of horror's more genuinely strange cult films. Duane and Belial are one of the genre's great duos and the downtown New York energy throughout can't be faked or recreated. Every bit of that cult designation is earned.
