Cult Class - BASKET CASE

Join us for a live screening of Frank Henenlotter’s cult classic BASKET CASE with an introduction by the Cinema Shock team!

The tenant in room 7 is very small, very twisted, and very mad.

The feature debut of director Frank Henenlotter (BRAIN DAMAGE, FRANKENHOOKER), 1982’s BASKET CASE is a riotous and blood-spattered “midnight movie” experience!

Synopsis: Duane Bradley seems like a pretty ordinary guy. His fomerly 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.

CULT CLASS is a monthly cult classic movie screening series produced by GutPunch Cinema and curated by Cinema Shock! Join us every third Tuesday of the month at Coffee Underground in Greenville, SC!
