Baskin
Directed by Can Evrenol
In this surreal Turkish horror, a police squad answer a distress call from a strange local town and find themselves plunged into a living nightmare when they’re captured by a cult and taken to an abandoned building. Navigating the labyrinthian nature of the building, the group seemingly descend further and further into the depths of hell. Originally a short from 2012, BASKIN was developed into a feature length film after it received rave reviews from the horror community. Notable for its nightmarish feel, BASKIN has been compared to the films of Lucio Fulci and the A NIGHTMARE ON ELM ST series.
A squad of unsuspecting cops goes through a trapdoor to Hell when they stumble upon a Black Mass in an abandoned building.
Cast: Mehmet Cerrahoglu, Gorkem Kasal, Ergun Kuyucu

I can't remember when I watched this movie, but it feels like I never left that building
This movie was intense, insane, and visceral. I LOVED IT!
Solid movie, maybe should have stuck to it's psychological horror guns but still really decent watch
Worth a watch for the setting and atmosphere alone, I think. There's also one really great gag in the climax that I feel obligated to praise because i just know it's gonna stick with me.
I saw this a few years ago and I've been looking for it again. I can't say I loved it the first time, but I couldn't stop thinking about it. I also couldn't remember what country it was from, but the imagery in this film is impactful. I love the boring bits of this film as well, they make a horror fan crazy, and that's part of the thrill of watching horror.
