After much buzz and a journey through the festival circuit, Can Evrenol’s Turkish horror film (you can read our review here) will finally make its way to a wider audience later this month.  It’s one insane, gory trip to hell that you won’t want to miss.  And to give you a taste of how nightmarish the trip will be, IFC Midnight has released a new trailer. Check it out below.

Baskin will be released on VOD and opening in New York at the IFC Center on March 25th, and in LA at the Arena Cinema on April 1st, 2016.

A five-man unit of cops on night patrol get more than they bargain for when they arrive at a creepy backwater town in the middle of nowhere after a call comes over the radio for backup. Entering a derelict building, the seasoned tough guys and their rookie junior, who’s still haunted by a traumatic childhood dream, do the one thing you should never do in this kind of movie: they split up. They soon realize they’ve stumbled into a monstrous charnel house and descend into an ever-more nightmarish netherworld where grotesque, mind-wrenching horrors await them at every turn. This is one Baskin (that’s “police raid” to you non-Turkish speakers) that isn’t going to end well. But wait! Things aren’t what they seem in this truly disturbing, outrageously gory, and increasingly surreal film whose unpredictable narrative pulls the carpet from under your feet and keeps you guessing right up to the final moment. A wildly original whatsit that reconfirms Turkey as the breakout national cinema of the moment.
