Baskin (2015)
Country: TUR/US
Technical: col/2.35:1 97m
Director: Can Evrenol
Cast: Mehmet Cerrahoglu, Görkem Kasal, Ergun Kuyucu
Synopsis:
Five police officers are called to back up a unit at an abandoned police station in the sticks, whereupon they become the prisoners of a community of lost souls.
Review:
Motley collection of horror tropes out of Argento and Fulci, nonsensically arranged around a cyclical narrative. There are metaphorical keys, shared nightmares and suggestions of cannibalism and diabolism, but it is all so obscure (in both senses) and oblique, it clearly does not want its puzzle unlocked. The principle interest remains the fact that it was made in Istanbul at all!
