Viewing Notes

Triple Feature at the Portage Theater! Having not seen any of the sequels I was really looking forward to this event. Especially great to get Henenlotter’s introduction w/details about making the film. As much as he disparaged the third film it only made me want to see it even more. Sadly I had to leave to catch INFERNO at MBT, which I don’t regret but still want to see Basket Case 3 someday.

The plot for part 2 is a bit iffy but all the FX and creature design are incredible. That alone makes this a worthy viewing. Plus Heather Rattray is super cute (and from my hometown!).

Great bonus event by Movieside to pregame for the 24hour Sci-Spectacular.
