Basket Case 3: The Progeny (1992)

Frank Henenlotter’s Basket Case from 1982 was a seedy little fever dream of a film with operatic violence and a pitch black sense of humor. It told the twisted grindhouse tale of the Bradley brothers, Siamese twins crudely separated against their will by a team of doctors (and one veterinarian).

DVD Review - Basket Case 3: The Progeny (1991)

Basket Case 3: The Progeny, 1991.

Directed by Frank Henenlotter.

Starring Kevin Van Hentenryck, Annie Ross, Gil Roper, Dan Biggers, Jim O'Doherty and Tina Louise Hilbert.

Synopsis:

Duane recovers from his delusional breakdown to find his freakish basket-bound brother Belial will soon become a father. But not everything is joyous as the once tight knit brothers no longer seem to trust each other.

The final part of the Basket Case trilogy sees Duane coming to terms with his breakdown and actions against Belial and Susan at the end of the previous movie. But there is a further twist to the tale as Belial’s lover Eve is pregnant and is ready to give birth – causing Duane to delve further into his own madness.

While Basket Case 2 moved the property into the comedy circle ever so slightly, Basket Case 3: The Progeny firmly states its place within genre with an almost parody sense of style. »
