Descend Into a Nightmare With this ‘Baskin’ Soundtrack Sampler [Exclusive]
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!

Katharine Isabelle Battles Cosmic Horror in Exclusive ‘Junction Row’ Teaser Trailer [Fantasia 2026]
Among Fantasia 2026‘s massive final wave of programming this morning is Raven Banner’s Lovecraftian creature feature Junction Row, starring Canadian horror icon Katharine Isabelle, and we’re exclusively unveiling the teaser trailer.
Junction Row will celebrate its World Premiere at Fantasia on July 28.
Watch a housing compound fall under siege from Lovecraftian creatures more dangerous than drug dealers in the trailer below.
Junction Row follows “Juno, a recovering addict who leaves a fringe housing compound for a better life, leaving her beloved Ruby behind. When she learns that Ruby has gone missing, Juno returns, only to find Junction Row has become a hotbed of criminal activity, but she encounters much more than menacing drug dealers on her mission to find Ruby.”
Isabelle stars as Juno, with Natalie Brown (FX’s The Strain) as Ruby.
The creature feature marks the feature debut by director Ashlea Wessel, who has directed festival-favorite shorts like 2018’s “Tick” and 2020’s “Weirdo”.
Wessel co-writes Junction Row with Clown in a Cornfield author Adam Cesare and Matt Serafini.
Katharine Isabelle is coming off a brief appearance in Kane Parsons’ Backrooms, and more recently appeared in holiday horror It’s a Wonderful Knife. The horror icon is arguably best known for her turn as the eponymous werewolf in Ginger Snaps and for her roles in American Mary and Freddy vs Jason.
Fantasia teases that Junction Row tells “a story where the fear of the unknown isn’t confined to what lies above, but what waits beneath.”
Stay tuned for more from Fantasia as the festival gets underway later this month.
