Original was much better - 4/10
Basket Case 1 was fun,funny,thrilling and had a neat set of characters. This one is just plain flat. They trivialize the whole thing with that freak nursing home so there's no real thrill about it. The characters are flat and there's no intrigue in the plot.
4/10. Won't even try Basket Case 3. The original was classic-tier B-movie and my memory of it has been degraded enough with this cheap movie.
