Review of Baskin (2015) by Marc M — 06 Apr 2016

This isn't a bad film. In fact, the first 30-40 minutes of it are wonderful. That synthesizer solo blew my mind, and the diner sequence was very fun and Tarantino-esque. The buildup to the actual "horror" was done quite nicely, and there was some really creepy stuff happening.

Then it devolves into torture porn and it ceases to be scary, just disgusting. I will say that Mehmet Cerrahoglu is genuinely terrifying to look at and makes a very convincing demon/satan/cult leader/wizard.

I would recommend this if you aren't looking to be blown away, and you like bloody, disgusting films. The twist will make you roll your eyes, unless you are easily impressed by predictability.
