Summary

Henelotter up's the ante in the final part of his trilogy by introducing a new member to the family; the potentially monstrous fruit of hideously deformed Belial's loins. With the pair still enjoying relative anonymity and comfort in their new found home (presided over by Granny Ruth), things however take a downward turn on a trip to the Georgia Clinic of Uncle Hal, which leads to an encounter with an especially nasty redneck sheriff and his similarly blinkered band of merry men.

What to Expect

Basket Case 3 is a circus. There's really no better way to describe it. Director Frank Henenlotter definitely doubles down on the bizarre mutants and complete chaos of Basket Case 2.

Basically, Granny Ruth takes her misfit band (literally) of mutants on a road trip to see a family friend who can help Belial's girlfriend give birth. This friend is very mutant-friendly and even has a mutant of his own. All is well until a local cop catches wind that the Bradley twins are in town and goes after them to cash in on a fat cash reward. Problem is, he thinks Belial's girlfriend is Belial, blasts her with his shotgun and steals her dozen babies. Belial freaks because his girlfriend got blasted.

The cop freaks after Belial's friends freak and accidentally blasts the Sheriffs daughter (who herself is a freak, but in a brown chicken brown cow sorta way) which of course makes the Sheriff freak goes after Belial.

Movie Review: Basket Case 3 (1991) Review

Critic Reviews:

If Basket Case 2 didn’t make it clear enough that Frank Henenlotter had little interest in simply rehashing his debut film, then the second sequel most definitely confirmed it. Not only is Basket Case 3 wholly unlike the original Basket Case—it’s pretty much completely removed from the movie that preceded it.

– Oh, The Horror!

Basket Case 3 represents Frank Henenlotter’s campy, effects-heavy approach pushed to its most unserious extreme and is almost certainly his worst film.

– Moria

I hate when a film spawns an amazing sequel and then follows that up with a third film and completely ignores what was established in the previous films.
