Check out the trailer for the horrifying new Turkish horror film, BASKIN

  I have seen some chatter about this one for a while now on social media, so finally checked out the trailer today to see what all the talk was about.  I have to say I think this is going to be the kind of horror film that we have not seen in quite some time.  It looks truly terrifying in some parts.    Here is the plot of the film from the IFC website:

  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 slippages pull the carpet from under your feet and keep you guessing right up to the final moment. A wildly original whatsit that reconfirms Turkey as the breakout national cinema of the moment.

Check out the trailer and let me know what you think!
