This April, ARROW presents Frank Henenlotter’s (Brain Damage, Frankenhooker) beloved slice of gruesome sleaze, Basket Case – where New York’s 1980s-era Times Square is brought to life in all its seedy glory. Don’t miss this deliriously enjoyable low-budget classic, featuring the magnificent Belial, one of the most loveable and lethal creatures in horror history! A riotous and blood-spattered “midnight movie” experience now presented for the first time ever on 4K UHD!
Basket Case will be available on 4K UHD Blu-ray and streaming in 4K on ARROW from 30th April.
SYNOPSIS: Duane Bradley seems like a pretty ordinary guy. His formerly conjoined twin Belial, on the other hand, is a deformed creature who lives in a wicker basket. Arriving in the Big Apple and taking up a room at a seedy hotel, the pair set about hunting down and butchering the surgeons responsible for their separation.
Filmed on a shoestring budget against the backdrop of 1980s New York (where it played on the midnight movie circuit for over two-and-a-half years), Basket Case has clawed its way from its humble origins to become one of the most celebrated cult movies of all time.
