What's in the basket? A question Duane Bradley is asked a lot when he arrives in New York and checks into the sleazy Hotel Broslin. Who would guess it contains his grotesquely deformed brother Belial?! Separated at birth, the Siamese twins have come looking for revenge on the doctor that left Belial for dead and now the basket-dweller is ready to wreak blood-soaked carnage. Where the original classic ends the sequel picks up and things start to get really warped when the brothers meet their long lost aunt 'Granny Ruth' and her whole houseful of freaks. One of the essential repeat rentals for any self-respecting horror fan in the early 80's, Frank Henenlotter's cult classic Basket Case and the gloriously psychotic sequels it spawned are collected together here in one of the most twisted and enjoyable horror trilogies ever made.

This DVD has old three parts of the movie I hardly recommend it
Basket Case is great to watch on Halloween all three parts but it's also good to see even before Halloween

Pricey Just For A Grea Steelbook Case!
The art work on this is probably the best Iv seen for a horror steelbook but is it worth $80? Only to a extreme fan of the films. If you can find it cheaper, go that route. I paid $4.99 for the original Basket Case DVD put out by Something Weird Video and not much more for 2&3. The qualities are good and, to me, these are not the kind of films that scream extras. The problem is these are low budget grindhouse film, especially the 1st one, and I'm not sure they need a Blu Ray upgrade. At least not at this price. You really are paying for the cool new artwork here. If you're not a rabid collector of steelbooks or huge fan of these movies, stick to the DVDs.

Terrific Trilogy, Classic!
I always loved the 1st film "Basket Case". Part 2 is a decent followup to the first (with extra humor?!:). Part 3 Just gets pushed as far as the story could go I suppose. All 3 are very interesting with the 1st being the best! Certainly a great Trilogy to add to your collection, I will always be proud to have in my library forever! Are you a (Good) horror film fan? If so then I strongly recommend picking up this inexpensive historical BASKET CASE TRILOGY! .....it's awesome:)

i just got mine
It came by delivery today. It got here earlier than expected. It arrived in excellent condition. I've seen the first two: Liked the first one a lot. Liked the second one ok. I look forward to seeing how this trilogy ends. I didn't even know there was a third one until I accidentally discovered this a couple of weeks ago - and immediately ordered the set. :)

Excellent Blu ray transfers of cult classics.
Being a long time fan of this franchise I was excited to see a special edition Blu Ray steelbook release.It is not just a "thrown together" release to make a quick buck, but rather a definitive BD release with an amazing transfer and great special features.

Gorgeous artwork, gorgeous transfer, all around amazing release.
One of the most beautiful steelbooks I have ever seen. The transfers are INCREDIBLE. This trilogy was one of my first introductions to horror as a child! Got it signed by Kevin Van Hentenryck and is a prized possession in my movie collection.

What's In The Basket?
The original 1982 film is low on budget but big on ideas. It perfectly captures the grime and sleaze of early 80's New York City and is better than I remembered it being. The 90's sequels are a whole different kettle of fish! The tone of the films change from low budget horror to mid budget horror/comedy. Think Clive Barker's Nightbreed/Gremlins mixed with a bit of slapstick and mild gore and you're along the right lines! The sequels are like a Loony Tunes cartoon brought to life. All three films are worth seeing, as you're never likely to be bored and will wonder what crazy idea will come along next (Baby Belial? Deformed sex scene?)At this cheap price (less than £5 for the three films + a few decent DVD extras) it's worth taking a chance on these bizarre films!

Received 2 days in advance and in Mint Condition. Is indeed the complete Uncut Trilogy!!!
This is my very First SteelBook of soon to be many. as well as my very first time ordering from the U.k. I'm am so happily pleased with this item. As a matter of fact I'm watching The Original as I type this. Contrary to what a lot of others, here in the states, have complained about this not being the uncut version. This Trilogy is indeed the uncut original version. I am so Proud to have this Uncut Trilogy in my Collection. Any true B-Horror Collector would be more than satisfied with this cult classic. I know I am. I grew up with Movies like these as well as Brain Damage, Maniac Cop, Bloody Birthday, Sleepaway Camp and many more.

B movie classic collection!
I have been hunting down this trilogy for a long while so was really pleased when I found this on Amazon for such a good price. Brilliant B move cult classics - you cannot get any better than this. Hilarious! Anyone who loves B movie horrors will really enjoy this - the original set the seal for cult horrors.
