Belial returns with a bigger budget! However, most of the budget goes to the creatures, and not to the gore. Basket Case 2 is sadly missing much of the carnage of the first film.
This movie is missing everything I loved about the first one. The whole grungy grind house feel is gone, and we get a wonky comedy with not much horror until the end. The movie didn't even focus on the interesting relationship of Belial and Duane. They were an afterthought.
I can't say I hated the film, but it was just too off tone from the first one. I can see why people enjoy this film, I just can't help but miss the things that made the first great. Props to a very satisfying climax though.
