Severin Films is bringing Baskin to Blu-ray with more than three hours of special features and a limited edition slipcover. The deranged debut from writer-director Can Evrenol returns in a new edition featuring extensive special features.
Description
The film follows a five-man Turkish police squad who respond to a distress call for backup at a remote location. Upon arriving at an abandoned police station in an area known for strange rumors, they find themselves trapped in what appears to be Hell itself, a nightmarish realm of supernatural torment from which there may be no escape. Blending surreal horror and visceral imagery, Baskin became a breakout for Turkish horror cinema.
