Basket Case II

                                                                 

 

 I think it's time we really confronted your feelings about your *separation*

          from Duane. To you it was more than losing a brother. You also lost a

                       piece of yourself.

 

The second installment picks up where the first film ended....with Duane Bradley and his misshapen basket dwelling brother Belial falling from a window....miraculously the pair survive and are transported to hospital. Of course during this time the due have become media celebrities....which ushers in Duane's long lost Aunt, known as Granny Ruth, and her pregnant daughter Susan. They decide to help Duane and his brother escape and they retreat to Granny Ruth's mansion, which accommodates hideously deformed freaks of all shapes and sizes....Granny explains that she had a son with eleven arms that nobody understood, so she tries to give freaks a good life and all are welcome. Most of her residents she had bought from freakshows or their own parents. Before she lets them stay Granny lays down a few house rules that everyone must follow. Then Granny introduces Belial to Eve, a female version of himself. Sparks fly and we fast forward four years.

Of course the media don't give up that easily and four years later, persistence pays off - in the shape of scheming Journalist Marcie Elliot, who manages to trace Duane to his new home. Here we see Granny, the mutants, Duane and his brother forming a plan to get rid of unwelcome attentions once and for all - and this time Belial is not on his own - he has other freak like creatures to mix with...The collection of entities manage to defend the house, although by this time Duane has fallen for Susan and is attempting to persuade her to leave the house and for them to start a new life. We then learn that Susan is not as normal as she appears - she has been pregnant for six years.....telling him the baby does not want to come out...... I will leave what follows to the viewer....although all I can tell you is that it wont be pretty!!!
