I tried watching Baskin on two separate occasions. The first time I just couldn't stay awake. AND I fell asleep during the torture scenes! Second time I was determined to get to the end, fighting bouts of drowsiness throughout.
Where do I begin? This barely qualifies as a horror movie. It does have gore. But there is no story, and there are no scares (unless you're scared of an ugly dwarf). Literally, the plot goes: Real annoying group of cops show up at a building, and get tortured. I laughed at the end! Yeah, don't expect anything to make any sense. Let me tell you, "bro," 97 minutes of Turkish... Let's say it's not exactly a pretty language. Did I mention how dull the pacing of this movie is? These filmmakers seemingly know nothing about how to structure a proper and effective horror movie.
SPOILER: Rookie cop kills dwarf by taking a key from his colleague's severed throat, in what appears to be a flash-sideways, and jams it into his forehead. Then he runs out into the street where he gets hit by the same police truck he arrived in. You're welcome.
Why this movie still commands a premium -- it's a 5-year old IFC Midnight title -- is beyond me. Scream Factory or not, generally this imprint goes down in price. I recommend you save your money.
