Rish Outfield's reviews
In my mad plunge to rent as many horror movies as possible during our Holiday '99 Binge and Purge, I accidentally picked up this little gem. Oh, sometimes the green mile is just so long.
I liked some of Basket Case one, and I'm sure others did too, since there were two sequels made, but part three was SOOOO bad. Wow. It was ludicrous, boys and girls (and I only use long words like that when I really mean it).
This wasn't Horror, rather Basket Case 3 was a stupid, sick comedy of idiotic proportions. Horror is what I felt while watching it. This was the kind of thing John Connor was thinking about when he said, "We're not gonna make it, are we? People, I mean."
Best Scare: Seeing my receipt and sure enough, I paid money to see it.
I'd Recommend It To: Prisoners about to plead insanity in an upcoming court appearance.

The tyranist's thoughts
Could someone please explain to me how anyone could possibly like this movie? I mean, I didn't enjoy the first movie, but I didn't kick Rish out when he brought this into my house either. Maybe it is my own fault. I've done a little looking around and these movies are consistently listed as better than many other very, very good horror movies. I just don't get it.
To its credit this one is much higher budget than the first one (I doubt that I will ever see the second one so don't ask). It also has a much larger cast (of mutants) and doesn't look like it was filmed in the slums because the people are more cooperative there. It is the same guy playing Duane and the same Belial as the first one, but that does nothing to add to the charm. Instead it seems that they are both more insane now than ever. The one redeeming scene in the movie involves the Sherriff's daughter revealing that she is a Dominatrix and even that doesn't go far enough or last long enough. I can think of many better ways to spend my time than swallowing this tripe. And since I know that some of you out there are Henenlotter fans, just let me placate you by telling you that I did like Frankenhooker, at least more than I liked this series. Well, not that much more.
