Editorial Reviews

He's back. He's bad. And he's a dad! Belial, everyone's favorite beast-in-a-basket, is back in this sensational third film in the wildly macabre horror series. After being separated again from his conjoined twin brother Duane (Kevin Van Hentenryck), Belial finds out he's going to be a deformed daddy! Mrs. Belial ( Eve, played by Denise Coop) delivers a litter of bouncing baby monsters, but the blessed event turns into a nightmarish ordeal when the police kidnap the little critters. They should know it's not safe to anger Belial! Attacking the cops in a climactic, gory rampage, everyone's favorite mutant mauler stops at nothing to get his newborns back! Includes the original theatrical trailer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Frank Hennenlotter is my hero March 22, 2003
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
All three Basket Case films are good, but I think this may be a person favorite. It is not a serious film by any means but it has a lot of humor and a lot of heart. The timing and delivery of some of Kevin Van Hentenryck's lines are brilliant. It is a very stream of consciousness film in which several scenes seem improvised almost. This is not a film for someone who only likes thrillers or really frightening horror films, this if for a horror movie fan who also likes goofy spoofy horror films like Evil Dead 2 and Return of the Living Dead. This is a very typical Frank Hennenlotter film. If you liked Frankenhooker you'll love this. Do not prejudice against this film because a few people didn't like it. It is a very specific type of film for a very specific audience, and just because some people do not see the brilliance of it does not mean the brilliance isn't there. Judge for yourself. You just need to watch it with an open mind. I highly recommend this film.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Serious Film That Reflects Our Times July 10, 1999
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
Frank Henenlotter is definitely one of the weirdest directors of this century. This does not mean that he is empty-headed, however. His films often have something that relates to us in some serious fashion. Frankenhooker appears to be all gags, but it makes a timely feminist statement (much the way Abel Ferrara's Ms.45 does). Brain Damage is goofy at first glance, but it has interesting comments on drug abuse. The Basket Case movies are concerned with brotherhood, family, and what's "normal." Basket Case 3, especially, questions normalcy. So see it for its themes. Or see it to watch all the freaks singing "Personality" on the bus.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Most Over-The-Top Of The Series November 22, 2004
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Defying description even more than the first two, "Basket Case 3: The Progeny" takes the series further into the outrageous and surreal than ever before. Now pretty much a full-fledged horror comedy but not only one of the rare examples of that form that works very well, but of a whole different nature than most of its peers at a fundamental level. NOT a spoof or light, the horror elements are stronger, more fearsome and more graphic than most 'straight' horror movies, and the elements of harrowing tragedy that dominated the original Basket Case are still in place, but so are elements of sexiness, cute appeal, insane action and over-the-top strange hilarity, including an 'armored Belial' scene that makes "Evil Dead 2" and even "Gremlins 2" seem as intently somber as "The Sixth Sense". There is probably no way all these differnt elements should come together as well as they do, or that it should be able to do it and stay in tune with more 'fully dark' original; it should come off as much of a misfire as "Jason X" but somehow doesn't - it's the only movie to fly on all these radically different tracks at the same time and succeed, and brings the "Basket Case" trilogy to a victorious conclusion.
