Basket Case Ratings & Reviews
Willamette Week
Chance Solem-Pfeifer
Like most other Henenlotter movies, Basket Case is beloved by horror heads in the know for its scrappy execution, darkly comedic exploitation, and gonzo manifestation of otherwise thought-provoking themes.
A Nightmare On Fierce Street Podcast
Sharai Bohannon
This is possibly Frank Henenlotter at his best. It's easy to see why 'Basket Case' is an important piece of horror cinema history. Bilal crawled so that Gabriel could run backward!
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Megan Seling
I'm pretty sure that makes it the ultimate high-brow/low-brow horror movie.

Sean Axmaker
[Henenlotter's] tribute to the grindhouse horror films he loves, a low-budget monster movie with creative twists and DIY special effects created with a mix of puppets, models, and stop-motion animation.
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
One of the pioneers of exploitation horror, complete with nudity, gore, hilariously absurd dialogue, and silly creature effects.

Tracy Allen
Henenlotter took a slice of every one of his beloved subgenres and built a bloody, rubbery yet tasty horror sandwich that gave watchers a monster they would not only fear but feel sympathy for by the end of the movie.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Sean Nelson
Everything about the film is gratuitous, and, despite its essential humorlessness, it's almost hilarious in a sidelong sort of way.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
An exploitation masterpiece.
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
A downright unwatchable horror comedy...
Dread Central
Heather Wixson
If you've never experienced Frank Henenlotter's insane masterpiece that lovingly celebrates the sometimes schlocky and sleazy side of cinema, then I can't think of a better introduction than this.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Delicious offbeat tongue-in-cheek humor.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
A thing of modest B-movie beauty.

Good creepy Hell's Kitchen horror flick.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Quirky horror on no budget.
