Laks says: “Patriarchy and misogyny meeting their comeuppance in hell is what I liked about this film but I came to it utterly curious having never seen a Turkish horror flick. BASKIN, a somewhat effective B movie Turkish HELLRAISER, was surprisingly fun to watch.
“I loved the dancing in the van scene but I dare transcend that darkness with Gaye Su Akyol’s uplifting intergalactic van. 3.8 Kedi“
Brett responds: “I really enjoyed this too in the unconventional sense of the word. Saw the world premiere at TIFF with a mesmerized audience who wasn’t sure what to make of it. Again, a big reason as to why it resonated with me.
“Not the same movie by any means, but the ‘hit or miss’ quality of ELSE that I saw earlier this year reminds me of that BASKIN reaction.”
