The pacing is slack and the splatter excessive, but this twisted cross-genre exercise should be red meat to gore-hounds.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
A torture-gore blowout that rises above pure nausea with an intriguing blur of possible realities.
Tickling the mind even as it lurches the gut, "Baskin," a stylish, shape-shifting horror film from Turkey, pulls a bait-and-switch.
Evrenol shoots all of this artfully, imbuing everything from a police van broken down by the side of a road to a man having his intestines slowly pulled out with a certain eerie beauty.
Its initial promise dissipates in a muddle of repetitious phantasmagoria and too little narrative or character development.
