The Basket

About This Movie

So, 'The Basket' is this quirky little film from 2008 that dives into the bizarre with a unique premise. You’ve got this guy, all emo hair and angst, spiraling into madness because of a sentient basket. It’s definitely not your typical horror flick; there’s a surrealist vibe that permeates the atmosphere, balancing between drama and horror. The pacing is kind of erratic, but in a good way—it really mirrors the protagonist’s descent into insanity. Practical effects are minimal, yet they work surprisingly well to elevate that unsettling tone. The performances, while not Oscar bait, carry a certain charm that fits the film’s off-kilter essence. It’s just one of those curious pieces that leave you pondering long after it ends.
