6. Basket Case (1982)
Imagine discovering that your twin brother has been separated from you because doctors considered him deformed.
Now imagine carrying him around in a basket.
Now imagine that he has a serious anger-management problem.
Congratulations.
You've just entered the world of Basket Case.
Frank Henenlotter's 1982 cult classic is cheap, strange, grimy and wonderfully weird.
The movie follows Duane Bradley and the mysterious basket he carries everywhere.
Naturally, everyone wants to know what's inside.
And when they find out, things become considerably more complicated.
The film has the unmistakable feel of underground horror filmmaking.
It's sleazy.
It's bizarre.
It's occasionally hilarious.
And it's impossible to forget.
There are plenty of polished modern horror films that disappear from your memory a few days after watching them.
Basket Case is not one of them.
