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

One of my favorite films of all time
One of my top 5 favourites. Atmosphere drew ever more horrific with each moment. The "guide" was experltly cast, as were the others. Maybe too gory for some but OK by ne.
Reminiscent of the original Hellraiser. Beautifully filmed, very competent acting and excellent sound combine to make this quite an experience. The languid pace might put a few off, but it does add to the overall feeling of being trapped in one of those slow moving nightmares in which you're trying to run, but can't.
Every review on any film on shutter is some dude saying not scary or slow burn or waste of time. . just enjoy this film and try something new without all the trashy comments!
Very Fulci with a Turkish Neegan. I was pitched this movie as “the most disturbing film” this person watched. I didn’t find it that disturbing.
