Basket Case 2 (1990) Even seeing the original Basket Case recently couldn't have prepared me for this slice of insanity. The group of freaks on show here are stellar with my personal fave-the man with 17 noses. In a way this film nicely bridges the gap between the shoestring budget sleazeathon original and Frankenhooker. Also it's extremely dry not just the humour absolutely everything here. There's no way Henenlotter could have done another basket case so this is quite different. There's no animation and Belial is far less scary if you could call him scary to begin with. But it's all so ridiculous and trashy it's hard not to smile at the warped scenes. A must see for Henelotter fans.
Darkness (2002) Occult horror slow burner. I think my mind was still warped from Basket Case 2 so I didn't *get* everything but there was a lot going on so I think I may give it a second watch at some point.
