My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Baskin (2015)

This Turkish horror film is about a bunch of unlikable police officers who deserve to get killed that go to a house after being called in for an emergency, only to find they’ve entered a cult of torture and mutilation.  There’s also a dream-like quality to the film where you question if what is happening is real or if this place is actually hell.   If you like ultra-dark horror with torture and sex and lots of violence than this might be your cup of tea, or more like your mug of malice.   I was kind of bored after a while.  Maybe I’m a weirdo but the theater of it all didn’t hold much meaning for me.   It felt like Can Evrenol was so intent creating a gruesome hell sequence he forgot why we needed to see it.  Grade: B-
