Take a Turkish Bus to Hell With ‘Baskin’ and Hammer Man

Published

After Baskin evolved from a short film to feature length it proved it had legs, but now it’s got wheels?!  After tormenting the North American festival circuit since Toronto, the police filled Pandora’s Box of a flick is heading home to Turkey with a January 1st release date.  As part of the advertising awareness drive, buses have been spotted with sledge hammer smashes adorning the rear window.

It doesn’t stop there.  The owner of said mallet has also been spotted wandering the streets interrupting interviews & spreading the dark word of the debut feature from Can Evrenol.  How would you react if confronted by a garbage bag head wrapped macho gimp on the sidewalk?  Watch the weirdness unfold from around the 1-minute mark.

After the native New Year’s day release & simultaneous German theatre dates (the next largest home to Turks) the US can expect to get the film from IFC Midnight in the first quarter of 2016.  Read Mr Disgusting’s review here & take a look at some of the homegrown teases for Baskin below.

Dead Mail SXSW Dead Mail interview

One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.

Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”

In the SXSW 2024 horror film…

“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.

“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”

Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
