Baskin
In a story that looks so strange we live with a unit of five policemen in a night patrol. When these people move on to that powerful task, they get more than they bargained for when they arrive in an isolated town and the town may look different and strange. They are now facing a night of terror in an underground maze after responding to a distress call, which may have many threats.

Baskin never loses its genuine identity that makes it outstand on the billboard that needs more films like this. [Full review in Spanish]

A good example of a short film used as a direct way to a film debut. [Full review in Spanish]

A film that is like a trip to hell. Even though its plot seems to deflate a bit, the final part becomes a catharsis of terror. [Full review in Spanish]

A torture-gore blowout that rises above pure nausea with an intriguing blur of possible realities.

It's the kind of arthouse horror that becomes a household name among genre fans. It's so shocking (at times) and so astoundingly well made that, if anything, I think it puts an exclamation stamp next to Can Evrenol's name as one of the futures of horror.

"Baskin" is a perfectly imbalanced mix of chilly atmosphere, heavy-handed symbolism, and familiar horror-movie tropes.

Part art film slow burn and part extreme splatterfest, Baskin is best enjoyed as a movie that features the memorable image of a man gouging out someone's eyeball with a knife and then French-kissing the bloody socket.

Stylishly mounted, well paced, with clever use of flashbacks, and written with panache.

The pacing is slack and the splatter excessive, but this twisted cross-genre exercise should be red meat to gore-hounds.

Tickling the mind even as it lurches the gut, "Baskin," a stylish, shape-shifting horror film from Turkey, pulls a bait-and-switch.

Hey, Nicolas Winding Refn: this is how it's done.
