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.
