Basket Case 2 (1990)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

AKA:
Directed by: Frank Henenlotter
Starring: Kevin Van Hentenryck (Duane), Annie Ross (Ruth), Heather Rattray (Susan Smoeller), Kathryn Meisle (Marcie)
Country: United States
Language: English
Runtime: 01:29:30
Genres: Body Modification, Gruesome

Plot – Spoilers:
Duane and his malformed brother Belial are back.

The fall at the end of Basket Case 1 (1982) seems to have knocked more detailing into Belial’s appearance. It appears that falling from the top floor = 8 years of progress in sfx.

The brothers are adopted by Granny Ruth who has a cult of freaks hidden away in her attic, and among the myriad beings there, Belial finds love. This gives us a memorable creature-porn scene where Belial and his lady love explore and discover each others sex organs and hot spots among all the mounds and protrusions.

Meanwhile, Duane falls in love with Ruth’s granddaughter and wants to leave with her, but a snoopy reporter lady is being a nuisance.

I just watched all 3 “Basket Case” movies in a row. Obviously the 1st one is the best with this one coming in 2nd. Instead of a seedy rooming house in NYC, the location is shot at a posh mansion. There are numerous malformed creatures instead of just Belial this time. This one is pretty good with some fun and funny stuff. 3 stars.

One of those films where you can tell that everyone involved in it’s making was having a great time.
I was depressed as hell before watching this and now I’m happy, smiling and off out.
Nice one

A love story. .
. With a great soundtrack and some grossly OTT acting. Classic.

LOLZ! Love me some campy 80s horror flicks! Looks like Belial gained some weight… and has been honing his anti-gravity skills too. What a talented little monster!

And the captioning… it’s from the first Basket Case. I happened to catch it right as the brother was offering up his entire inventory. Quaaludes… Anybody here remember those things? They were waaaay too much fun so they stopped making them in the early 80s…. anyway, I digress.

I really enjoyed this one! Thanks, admin…. And I’d especially like to thank you for the ability to edit my posts!!! How effin’ cool is that?! Hey… I’m easily amused. What can I say? Thanks again. I wish you wealth, continued success, and good looks.
