Baskin


No, not the delicious 31 flavors found in random strip malls across the country, this is a WTF movie that fell into my lap making me want to scrub with a brillo pad when I was done.  There are questions you may ask yourself before and after watching this movie such as; what is this movie about?  Why was this movie made?  What does this movie mean?  After sitting through this weird piece of hidden cinema, I still dont know.  Here is what I got out of it:  A group of Middle Eastern cops answer a call to an infamous haunted house.  This is after strange events happen with a weird time lapse and flash backs that may or may not be one of the characters.  Once at the house of horrors, they find an underground satanic worshiping, slave holding, disgusting human experimental dungeon.  This may be Hell, or just a man cave for twisted dudes, who knows?  The leader, who has quite possibly the weirdest face I have ever seen is a sicko who likes to stab out the eyes of his victums and have them raped by a dog/hunchback type character.  Its a whole lotta family fun!  I thought it was rather well made but really didnt make much sense unless you chalk it up to a dream-like substance.  You may want to check it out if your curiosity is getting the best of you but make sure you are a true movie buff who appreciates movies out of the ordinary.

FYI:  This is actually a re-make of another short Turkish film.
