We've seen the premise of going to Hell many times before, but few are as effective as 'Hellraiser' and 'Baskin'. While 'Baskin' is not trying to be another 'Hellraiser', one can't help but compare them. Both films depict hell as a horrible place of torture.
From the opening moment, Yavuz (Muharrem Bayrak) is depicted as an arrogant and rather crude guy, a policeman who abuses his authority. (He does undergo the most character development towards the end). He is one of five cops who are about to embark on a nightmare journey. The men are Yavuz, Apo, Seyfi, rookie Arda, and their boss Remzi. Arda is under Remizi's care since his father died.
Responding to a call for back-up, they head to Inceagac - a creepy and dangerous place. On their way, they hit a man on a dark stretch of road, and drive into a lake. Without transport or a working phone or radio - and with no sign of the person they hit - their nightmare is only just starting. They make their way on foot to Inceagac, where fellow police officers called for back-up.
If you intend having snacks with this movie, make sure you finish it before they enter the building in Inceagac - if you want to keep your food inside, that is! Once they enter the building, the film plunges you into hell from which there is no escape.
Just like 'Hellraiser' these scenes are disturbing, bloody and grotesque. This truly is the stuff nightmares are made of. The visuals and make-up effects are really good. 'Baskin' doesn't have the same good storyline and payoff as 'Hellraiser', but this is a very well made movie. Saying I liked the movie might make me sound sadistic considering its theme and nature, but yes, I actually enjoyed it.
