First off this was not the scariest movie of the year. Not even close. I would say that it was the most convoluted but I watched Detention a few days before seeing this. I do like that this was an anthology. Some of my favorites from childhood were anthologies (Creepshow, Twilight Zone: The Movie, Tales…
I was originally interested in seeing this because of the back story. I had seen House of the Devil, and was impressed with the early 80’s feel slow burn quality of the film.

Today I’m going to talk about a (writer/director) Frank Henenlotter classic, Basket Case. Henenlotter is also known for Brain Damage (1988) and Frankenhooker (1990). I’ve seen those as well.…
