A new project for tarantino?


I'd reckon QT might be interested in making a cheap horror flick as an homage to the genre!

God i hope Tarantino never makes a sequel or a remake to Basket Case.

Agreed. Although I did like Death Proof...

Tarantino wouldn't come up with a film like Basket Case. He'd come up with a high concept pastiche with very good production values. It would probably be a pretty good movie, but it would be completely different instead of a remake.

I definitely thought of QT while watching this. The fade outs reminded me of Pulp Fiction, and the insertion of the origin story in the middle of the second act went into Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill Vol. 2.

I think the ending he would have given it, and what would have vastly improved the film, would have been to make the dentist lady a more formidable adversary. I expected as much because she had been introduced in the mode of domineering over her boy-toy at the dinner table. When she reached for the scalpels, missed, and then got clawed to death, I was disappointed. From there, the film continued in the same old predictable pattern that had been established.
