The tenant in room 7 is very small, very twisted, and very mad.

On a budget of what can be found in the protagonist’s pocket, Basket Case is the story of a boy and his wicker basket on a hunt for revenge against the doctors who made him the freak he isn’t.

      Everything about this movie just drips style and shockingly clever editing.

      And then the movie is Basket Case. It’s like the exact opposite of The Room.

    I am in absolute love with this movie. Style, quirkiness, slappy camp, and exploitation of whatever it takes to keep you interested.
    It straight up reminded me of reading Preacher.

    To paraphrase the director, if the scene can’t be scary, make it funny, if it can’t be funny, shock the audience.

      They started with a budget of 16,000 dollars and apparently you can see it cause it’s the wad of cash they pull out at the beginning of the film.

      Just cause it’s amazing, I don’t think it negates it as clear B movie.

      Yes.

      It reminds me of gremlins in just the best ways. The characters feel real even if they are absolutely a character. The acting is wildly all over the place from awesome to, “we grabbed them off the street and gave them a line”.
