The Turkish horror film Baskin is coming to VOD and limited theaters later this month (March 25th, to be exact) and we’ve been champions of the nightmarish film for a while. Mr. Disgusting proclaimed in his review, “It’s so shocking (at times) and so astoundingly well made that, if anything, I think it puts an exclamation stamp next to Can Evrenol’s name as one of the futures of horror,” while Trace proclaimed it to be, “…a visceral experience and one that I will not soon forget.”
To celebrate the film’s upcoming release, we want to give you a taste of it using a different sense than normal. Usually, filmmakers want you to watch a trailer so as to give your eyes the ability to see what’s waiting in store for you. But as Hellraiser proved, pain and pleasure can go beyond just sight. That’s why we’re bringing you a sampling of the film’s score, composed by Ulas Pakkan. It’s moody, creepy, and absolutely something that’s befitting of a journey into Hell. Simply play the video above and let the music do the work.
Pakkan explains:
“BASKIN has a timelessness and a post apocalyptic feel to it and we are not totally sure when this series of events is happening. We are given some small clues about the period in the beginning of the movie when we see Arda’s room. While I was creating the Arda’s theme, I tried to reflect the era of their childhood. Arda’s theme is the heart of the soundtrack. I reuse it in many of the scenes but arranged in multiple ways to create different vibes.
Baskin‘s soundtrack will be released via Lakeshore Records digitally on the 25th and on CD shortly thereafter, so keep your eyes, and ears, peeled!
