Take a Turkish Bus to Hell With ‘Baskin’ and Hammer Man
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.
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
