Basket Case

CriticsCritics: 77
AudienceAudience: 6.0

A young man arrives in a seedy part of Manhattan with a mysterious basket containing his severely deformed, formerly conjoined twin. Together, they pursue revenge against the doctors responsible for separating them, while uneasy relationships and unsettling discoveries complicate their stay.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like grimy, low-budget horror with bizarre body horror and dark humor, especially in the spirit of Re-Animator or Brain Damage; Not for you if polished scares matter most.
