Duane Bradley seems like a pretty ordinary guy. His formerly conjoined twin Belial, on the other hand, is a deformed creature who lives in a wicker basket. Arriving in the Big Apple and taking up a room at a seedy hotel, the pair set about hunting down and butchering the surgeons responsible for their separation. Filmed on a shoestring budget against the backdrop of 1980s New York (where it played on the midnight movie circuit for over two-and-a-half years), Basket Case has clawed its way from its humble origins to become one of the most celebrated cult movies of all time. 4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS • 4K restoration from the original 16mm negative by MoMA • 4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) • Original uncompressed PCM mono audio • Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing • Audio commentary with writer/director Frank Henenlotter and star Kevin VanHentenryck • Archival audio commentary with Frank Henenlotter, producer Edgar Ievins, actor Beverly Bonner and filmmaker Scooter McRae • Basket Case 3-1/2: An Interview with Duane Bradley, a short film by Frank Henenlotter • Me and the Bradley Boys, an interview with actor Kevin Van Hentenryck • A Brief Interview with Director Frank Henenlotter, a strange 2017 interview with the director • Seeing Double: The Basket Case Twins, an interview with actors Florence and Maryellen Schultz • Blood, Basket and Beyond, an interview with actor Beverly Bonner • The Latvian Connection, a featurette including interviews with producer Edgar Ievins, casting person/actor Ilze Balodis, associate producer/special effects artist Ugis Nigals and Belial performer Kika Nigals • Belial Goes to the Drive-In, an interview with film critic Joe Bob Briggs • Basket Case at MoMA, footage from the 2017 restoration premiere • What’s in the Basket?, a feature-length documentary covering the three films in the Basket Case series • In Search of the Hotel Broslin, archival location featurette • The Frisson of Fission: Basket Case, Conjoined Twins, and ‘Freaks’ in Cinema, a video essay by Travis Crawford • Slash of the Knife (1976, 30 mins), a short film made by Frank Henenlotter featuring many of the same actors from Basket Case, including optional audio commentary with Frank Henenlotter and playwright Mike Bencivenga • Basket Case and Slash of the Knife outtakes • Belial’s Dream (2017, 5 mins), an animated short film by filmmaker Robert Morgan • Extensive image galleries • Trailers, TV & radio spots • Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Sara Deck Mon, 29 Jun 2026 21:55:07 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://moviemog.com https://moviemog.com/client/assets/images/icons/icon-96x96.png https://moviemog.com/videos/watch/3ce8faaf-9877-461c-bf37-d3dfb55dfd1b All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://moviemog.com/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
