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.
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.
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.
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]
