Review of Baskin

Baskin (2015)
5/10
They couldn't close the circle.
16 April 2016
I've rated this movie 5 stars and not 4 because it is Turkish, they tried something, and I compared it to a movie that lacks the possibilities of a Hollywood production.

I'm going to start with the main problem here. The movie as the director himself said, has a lot of parts that "were made to look cool"! Yes, you got that right, there was no real meaning behind every scene, some of them were thrown there to shock, to surprise, to disgust, to look uber tough! And we can't really have that now can we? I mean if you're going for something, either go full in or go home.

Other problem consists on the plot itself, because it tries to stay together, but has some parts that can't be tied to the rest of the movie. And that seriously doesn't look good at all, because instead of focusing on getting some closure and offering a decent end, they chose to find more ways to "look cool" on screen.

But all in all, the acting is good, the soundtrack is lovely, the camera is OK, for a horror fan, this one gets close to a good result. It's a shame that they didn't try just a little bit harder.

Cheers!
