The off-the-wall fiends are the highlights of the film, showcasing a creative knack for visual oddities and outlandish blood effects. Go to Full Review

Glenn G @RT72246594 5d JESUS GOD😭😭😭 this was more than amazing, I needed so much food because I was enjoying this so much. I would definitely watch this with my 6 year old daughter so she could gauge her eyes out just like me. shoutout sengelic and shoutout fig for showing me this work of art. I couldn't tell you how much I genuinely enjoyed this movie. See more Sentax T @RT93181817 5d JESUS GODDDDDD😂🤣🔥 Amazing movie the terrible acting made it 10x funnier. I would recommend this movie to all my friends who love funny little movies that got a hint of grossness 🤮to it. Out of all movies one thing that stood out from this one is that this movie had HILARIOUS unrealistic death scenes like when the guy *spoiler alert* got his head ripped off by a bite to the lip! 😭😭😭I THINK I SAID ENOUGH IF YOURE THINKING ABOUT WATCHING THIS MOVIE, WATCH IT!! -sengelic on soundcloud btw See more Justin T @RT08580778 Jun 19 We're going to need a bigger basket. It's so bright, the second film was too but it's more egregious in this one. Annie Ross absolutely carries this film and doesn't get the support needed from the other characters. The film is fine, it's just too far from what made the original so iconic. It's crazy but there's no depth or subtlety or even a story and it's just not as fun as other similar films. The police station massacre and mech suit were actually awesome and makes it worth watching and probably slightly better than the previous film whilst being very similar. See more Maksim S @MaksimusMovies Jan 19 Basketcase 3 delivers maximum carnage and gore, with plenty of over-the-top, chaotic moments, but there’s an undeniable sense that the franchise is winding down. It’s not always as fun as one might hope, yet it still offers enough shock and madness to keep dedicated fans entertained. Worth a watch if you want to see the trilogy through to the end. See more Andy B @RT49744558 06/08/2024 The third in the Basket Case series sees Dwayne in a straitjacket while Belial waits for Eve to give birth. This film basically follows the birth, Dwayne’s escape and the resultant bloodbath as Belial takes revenge on the local law enforcement community. This is cheap horror and needs to be viewed as such. Basket Case worked due to the relative simplicity of the plot and the naive Dwayne. Here Dwayne is still naive, but there are now more “monsters” around, led by Granny Ruth. You could say that there are messages here about how we treat those in society who do not confirm to norms - but I think that giving the filmmakers more credit than they deserve. The special effects are adequate - certainly better than the stop motion of the original. While they don’t look realistic, there is enough about them that they don’t distract. I’ve certainly seen a lot of films with cheap CGI that do a far worse job. The humour is there throughout. The characters are actually well drawn and the acting isn’t bad. Definitely worth your time, so sit back and open the popcorn. See more Robson C @RT82519826 04/04/2024 Eve, a namorada de Belial, engravidou. Preocupada com a condição da jovem mãe, Dra. Ruth decide partir com a sua trupe de pacientes deformados em um ônibus escolar na cidade onde mora o seu irmão médico que poderá fazer o parto. Porém, a chegada daquele estranho grupo na pequena cidade irá causar muita confusão e dor. Aqui o filme abraça de vez a comédia. O gore e o terror só nos momentos finais. O roteiro é algo inexistente. Diálogos horríveis. Há até um momento musical. É claro que a maquiagem e os efeitos visuais estão cada vez melhor, mas ao mesmo tempo, em vez de fazer os seres deformados causarem medo, cada vez mais se tornam caricaturas mal feitas. Mais para quem é fã da franquia. See more Read all reviews
