nudity | The film contains a prolonged dream sequence where the naked protagonist runs down a street before he steals into a room and is seen touching his love interest's bare breast while the latter is sound asleep. The scene cuts back to reality where the deformed twin is seen touching the woman. When she jolts from her sleep, he tries to silence her scream and rapes her. There is a wide shot where the twin is seen thrusting the woman, while blood is seen on her lower body. The sequence contains full frontal male nudity, close-up shots of female upper body nudity, as well as the depiction of sexual violence. The full frontal nudity depicted above is prolonged and detailed, but not excessive, the simulated sexual activity depicted is also not excessive, or prolonged and detailed. |
violence | The film contains scenes of violence and gore, with the sight of injuries such as bloody scratches on the victims faces, blood spurting when they are killed, as well as the aftermath of a killing when a man's severed torso is seen. |
profanity | A couple uses of "shit", "dick" and "goddamn". |
alcohol | As the main character is walking along the sidewalk, a man approaches him to sell drugs. He names off any kind of drug you can imagine but no drugs are shown |
frightening | The monster may be frightening to younger audiences. Some of the violence (though being played out for comedic effect is quite graphic and blood is shown on several occasions) could disturb some younger audiences or the faint hearted. 'Basket Case' is a horror film about a man who arrives in New York City with his deformed twin brother hidden in a locked wicker basket. The brothers, who were born as conjoined twins and can experience what each other feels, seek to take revenge on the doctors who had surgically separated them. However, things go awry when the man falls in love with a girl. |
