10 Scariest Horror Movies Set In Motels

10. Basket Case

After an eccentric man called Duane Bradley takes a room at a motel in New York, the other residents notice that he constantly carries a wicker basket. When we hear growling from the box, we assume it contains some sort of wild animal.

But halfway through the movie, we discover the contents of the basket are for disturbing than we could've imagined. The basket contains... Duane's brother.

Through a series of flashbacks, we learn that Duane was born as a conjoined twin. Because his brother, Belial, was hideously malformed, he was perceived as a growth rather than a human being and so, was ripped off Duane's body against his wishes and left to die.

Furious, Duane and Belial headed to New York to kill the surgeons that separated them. But after Duane falls for the motel's receptionist, his lust for revenge subsides, driving Belial even more deranged.

Even though the contents of the basket are the story's selling point, Basketcase takes its time telling the story. For the first 30 minutes, we don't see Belial at all, making his big reveal all the more impactful. His design doesn't make anatomical sense but his haunting appearance is sure to freak out viewers.
