Turkish film-maker Can Evrenol introduced the tale about “madness and paranoia” during Frontières at Bifff.
Having already taken audiences on one descent into hell, Baskin writer-director Can Evrenol looks set to do the same with his next feature Housewife.
The film was introduced for the first time during Frontières at Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival (Bifff). Speaking to Screen, Evrenol noted that while it’s similar thematically to Tiff hit Baskin, there are also marked differences.
“It’s almost a continuation of my work, the recurring themes of sexuality, family, social claustrophobia and nightmares,” he explained. “This time it’s from a female’s perspective and it’s going to be in the English language. If you say Baskin is like my Carpenter and Stephen King homage, this is going to be Argento and Fulci.”
Housewife is centred on Holly whose mother murdered her sister and father when she was seven. 20 years later and...

The cinema of Turkey has brought instant classics from Nuri Bilge Ceylan, the recent Oscar-nominated Mustang, and much more, but it’s rare a full-fledged horror film gets imported to the United States. Later this month, that’ll change as IFC Films picked up the Toronto International Film Festival Midnight Madness hit Baskin and will release it into theaters and on VOD. Directed by Can Evrenol, adapting from his own short, it follows a group of cops who get more than they bargained for as they reality turns into a nightmare.
We said in our review, “Evrenol and his cowriters Ogulcan Eren Akay, Cem Ozuduru, and Ercin Sadikoglu (who assisted in expanding the original short) revel in the blackness of their environment and the depravity of their antagonistic force. The title means raid or sudden attack and that’s exactly what they provide once Arda, Seyfi, the volatile Yavuz (Muharrem Bayrak...

It’s safe to say there has been a considerable amount of hype surrounding Baskin within the horror community. From glowing reviews to – bizarrely – action figures of the characters involved, if you read any horror websites you can’t fail to have noticed the film has become something of a cause-celebre. After seeing the film for myself I can’t think of a single reason why…
The plot, what there is of it, sees a police squad respond to a call for backup at an abandoned building in the middle of nowhere, where they stumble upon a Black Mass being performed by a nightmare cabal of subhuman cannibalistic freaks and their rubber-faced leader (who looks remarkably like a Spitting Image puppet), with a penchant for imaginative blood ceremonies.
