Basket Case

“The tenant in room 7 is very small, very twisted, and very mad.”

Premium Crap. CrapScore 75, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
A basket conceals a murderous brother on a revenge tour through grimy New York. Awkward exchanges, cramped hotel rooms and exuberantly artificial creature effects collide with an unexpectedly sad sibling story. Its scrappy texture is part of an inventive cult horror film, not proof that the filmmakers lacked ideas.
