Baskin 4K 2015

The film Baskin initially caught my attention because one of its producers was involved in the creation of The Raid 1,2. However, when the trailer was released, I became even more interested in the project. I was confused by the fact that it was produced in Turkey, although after the excellent ‘Raid’, I thought that the film would not be as paradoxical and boring as most modern horror films.

That's exactly how it turned out. This original story begins in a cafe, where several police officers are eating, smoking, and chatting. After one of them feels ill, they leave. On the way, they also chat and sing songs, but on the road they meet a man who falls right under the wheels of their car. After this accident, they begin to realize that the nightmare does not end there.

The problem is that the characters are not likable, so watching their suffering literally makes you not care. I liked the makeup that adorned the local freaks. The limbo that our heroes find themselves in is very minimal. I think this is due to a lack of budget. Although the blood and guts were shown very realistically. The time-lapse scenes were very picturesque and vivid.

The music is an excellent addition to what is happening. The images presented to us are particularly individual. Each character who dies does not meet a banal death, but something special. For example, intercourse with a terrifying woman or someone else.

The ending was extremely predictable, but if anything had been changed, the film would have descended into mediocrity. The ending made the film more logical. Absurdity and grotesqueness clearly accompanied each other throughout the film.
