After the shockingly surreal events that took place at the end of the last movie, Granny Ruth and pals have a now insane Duane Bradley locked in a padded cell, which is also in the "freak house". Of course it is. Gee whiz, Duane sure does act zany in this one. Zany or not, this story is going forward with us or without us, so, we might as well learn to appreciate it for what it is, whatever the hell it is. Anyway, the female freak (the one Belial had his way with in part 2) is now pregnant, and the only doctor Ruth can think of that can be trusted to deliver the litter, lives in Georgia... Oh, Great. I mean, Florida or North Carolina would have been a better choice, but a road trip is a road trip, right? So, Granny Ruth gets out the old school bus, leaves Duane in his straight-jacket, just to be safe, and takes her family o' freaks all the way down south. Hopefully, in such a small town, nobody will recognize Duane from all those tabloids. Unfortunately Duane feels he's being held against his will, and takes any opportunity he can to get away. Where, you ask? I don't know. Just away, I guess. Once Duane gets away, he gets himself into all sorts of trouble, not to mention Granny and the freaks. Greedy, small-town cops, lookin' for reward money is hot on Belial's trail, but what these yokels find... well, forget it. This movie sucks. But if you've recently had the pleasure of seeing the original Basket Case, and you got the Henenlotter fever, the next logical step would be a flick called Brain Damage.
As someone who hates the fact that there is even one Basket Case sequel, even I gotta admit that the idea of a part 2 is, or I guess was intriguing. But 3? Come on, Frank. You're better than that. I would imagine someone, at some point, up and told the man how awful this movie really is, discouraging the poor fella, and sending him into a deep depression, which would explain why Henenlotter wouldn't make another movie (Bad Biology) for 17 years... Embaressment. 4/10
