“What’s in the basket?” An innocent question that forever reminds genre fans of the bloody misadventures of Duane Bradley and his not-so-conjoined twin, Belial. Second Sight brings the entire Basket Case trilogy to Blu-ray/DVD across the UK in a Special Edition. Take a peek inside…
From the Press Release:
Following the huge success of The Return of the Living Dead, Second Sight Films now bring the wonderfully warped Basket Case – The Trilogy to special edition Blu-ray and DVD. This bumper release will hit the streets on 22 October 2012 as a limited edition three-disc steelbook and special edition DVD, complete with newly commissioned bonus material produced by bonus feature specialists Severin Films.
“What’s in the basket?” A question Duane Bradley is asked a lot when he arrives in New York and checks into the sleazy Hotel Broslin, a place filled with drunks, odd-bods and prostitutes. We soon discover the answer; inside is his grotesquely deformed brother, Belial. Separated at birth in a brutal operation, the Siamese twins have come looking for revenge on the doctors that left Belial for dead, and now the basket-dweller is ready to wreak blood-soaked carnage. Where the original classic ends, the sequels pick up, and things start to get really deranged when the brothers meet their long lost aunt ‘Granny Ruth’ and her houseful of freaks.
