Josh Goller Spectrum Culture 12/12/2024
This sequel clearly fits into the mold of exaggerated prosthetics-laden contemporaries like Beetlejuice and Dick Tracy...and brings plenty to the table as the kind of offbeat horror comedy that they just don’t make anymore. Go to Full Review

Maksim S @MaksimusMovies 7h Basketcase 2 cranks the chaos up to eleven. Even more violent, gory, and downright mad than the original, it dives headfirst into total lunacy while keeping the story alive and never letting the pace sag, something many sequels fail at. Picking up directly after its predecessor, it’s a must-watch for fans of the first film or cult horrors like Demons and Braindead. While it works perfectly as a stand-alone, watching the original first heightens the experience—but either way, the sheer, unhinged energy makes it impossible to look away. See more Rich C @Cordu0702 May 27 Loved this! Worth the watch! See more Robson C 04/04/2024 Duane e seu irmão deformado, Belial, sobrevivem e são levados ao hospital. Lá, eles fogem com a ajuda de uma estranha senhora, Dra. Ruth, e a sua neta, Susan. Na casa delas, eles encontram um santuário, onde outras pessoas nascidas com deformações vivem em paz. Porém, eles são procurados pelos crimes que eles cometeram no filme anterior. Aqui temos o perfeito exemplo de uma ideia interessante ir se perdendo com a entrada de mais dinheiro. Em muitos casos, o índice de qualidade de Henenlotter continua, como o nível de atuação do elenco e as cenas gore. Com mais dinheiro no orçamento, é nítido o investimento em Belial e nas maquiagens das outras pessoas deformadas. Porém, a vontade de transformar em uma comédia ameaça o filme o tempo todo, perdendo a chance de avançar ainda mais no horror. See more Thom G 12/15/2022 The philosophical potential of the film is undermined by its overly grotesque aspects. This could have been okay if it were completely assumed, but the film seems to be trying to convey some critical messages while portraying a very ridiculous portrait of marginalized monster-like humans (unlike the first Basket Case, which maintained a balance between the crude and campy aspects and the deeper themes). See more Justin T 02/16/2022 This film is utter madness. It takes the first film to the ultimate next level. It is just lots of freaks and some pretty grotty moments of hellish violence. It is twisted film making dying to shock you with the sicker side of our body pretending that it is enlightening us. I loved every second without a moment of introspective boredom. Utterly nuts and tacky, but that is why we love it. See more Steve D 07/10/2020 A huge step in the wrong direction for an already iffy series. See more Read all reviews
