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

Awesome movie. Really slow start, but it pays off in the end.
The cinematography and sound design is amazing. The movie maintains a creepy atmosphere the whole time keeping the viewer on edge. However the plot feels lacking and the exposition takes up around half the movie only for it to amount to nothing. The movie is somewhat memorable but only for the atmosphere and sound design. The story is dull and forgettable.
Sorry I hated it so much. It looks great, but nothing really landed for me as a clueless American. It seems there are a lot of references that flew over my head
so fckn good
The real horror is watching grown Turkish men discussing sex with chickens for the entire first half hour
