What the critics say average 6.0 from 5 outlets

7.5 Roger EbertSimon Abrams 'Baskin' does what many horror films try and fail to do: it makes you feel like you're a passive prisoner/spectator, watching as an especially vivid nightmare unfolds. Read
6.7 The A.V. ClubKatie Rife Anyone deep enough into the genre to watch a movie like Baskin may find it, for all its bizarre and beautiful surrealistic imagery, oddly uninspiring. Read
6.0 Los Angeles TimesNoel Murray 'Baskin' won't be for everybody, but it's well made and imaginatively upsetting. It's the kind of movie in which a pile of human eyeballs is only about the 10th most disgusting image. Read

Trivia

Baskin

The film is based on his short film by the same name.
Baskin

Mehmet Cerrahoglu, who plays the role of Father, has an extremely rare skin condition that made his physical appearance very unique and instrumental to the look of Father.
Baskin

The character of Father is modeled on the demigod character Colonel Kurtz from 'Apocalypse Now'.
Baskin

Director Can Evrenol had Mehmet Cerrahoglu watch the films A Nightmare On Elm Street, Hellraiser and Apocalypse Now to help him with developing the character of Father.
Baskin

Evrenol claims that the hardest scene to shoot was the underwater scene when Adra falls into the river, because of the time limitations and because it was shot at night. That single underwater shot took almost half of that night's shoot when it was shot.
