 Rating:  - The Frank Henenlotter Crown JewelTWO WORDS!!! UNTAPPED GENIUS!!!! Part Lewis, part Argento, part Cronenberg, and part Jackson. It's a wonder that directors like Peter Jackson, & Sam Raimi, who produced similar movies, became HUGE!, while Frank Henenlotter who produced 5, count 'em 5, excellent bizarro horror comedies, faded into cinematic obscurity. The man is untapped genius!!! Someone needs to tell Hollywood to get it together!! Everyone knows how much the other 2 made them. That ... Read More Rating: - Freak-YHorror's favorite set of Siamese twins return. They survived the fall and are now on the run from the law. They find refuge with "Granny Ruth" who runs a kind of boarding home for freaks. When a snoopy reporter catches wind of the "Freak Twins" residing with Granny Ruth, it threatens to blow the whistle on Ruth's family. The freaks are then forced into action.

Benefits from being a 'true' sequel - expanding on characters and past events in a new setting instead of just rehashing - a revamped design for Belial and a dogged refusal to be anything less than very, very strange. Looking forward to the re-release of the 3rd, which I haven't yet seen. Rating: - Nearly As Good As The FirstBasket Case 2 is an excellent follow-up to the first, It has some very funny and original moments such as the Belial love scene. The film has a diffrent feel than the first but it turned out very nicely, The story is that Duane and Belial survived the fall at the end of part one and up being picked up by an old woman who takes care of people like them at her home. She takes them there and they become a part of the community of deformed people, A nosy reporter figures them out and they have to deal with her ... Read More |
