this film have a cult follow and much like stuart gordon re animator or sam raimi evil dead and but isn not close to entertain a the two cult classic . i be a huge fan of cult film i even enjoy such obscure cult flick like head of the family and don not look in the basement and so i be anticipate an enjoyable ride with basket case and but it do not deliver . everything about this film be bargain basement and from the act to the effect . the stop motion effect be terrible . i realize this isn not harryhausen and but low budget filmmaker brett piper use stop motion quite well . the film tell the tale of conjoined twin one little more than a head grow out of his fully develop brother right side . his father hire a trio of quack doctor to remove the head and name belial and from the body of the anatomically correct duane . the doctor throw away belial after remove him from duane side and but duane pick his brother out of the trash bin and they go on a revenge murder spree and kill the doctor who separate them . story represent $ $ $ ( this isn not the problem . the story be interest but everything else be muddle . this dialogue be bad and the effect be terrible . in more capable hand and this could have be the cult classic that some people proclaim it to actually be ) . violence represent $ $ $ $ ( there be plenty of blood in this film . the best scene be when belial get busy with a set of scalpel and plant them in the female doctor face . if gore be your thing and then this would not upset and but if you like well write dialogue and then do not bother ) . act represent $ ( terrible and from top to bottom . there isn not a soul in this film with a shred of talent . the lead and kevin van whatever and be in desperate need of act lesson a be his love interest and terri smith and in her only film credit mind you . the doctor be poor actor and the people inhabit the motel seem pluck from off the street ) . nudity represent $ $ $ $ ( plenty of it men and woman .
