Baskin is the GREATEST HORROR FILM OF THE PAST DECADE


A true horror masterpiece, unnerving, makes you feel as if you're endlessly trapped inside a garish nightmare from which you only seem to wake up, but it's just varying levels of conscious realities as if you are opening a matryoshka doll and then another and then another thinking you're escaping when in fact, you're only going ever deeper into the idea that Baskin rolls with to perfection:

"Hell isn't someplace you go, son... You carry Hell with you always, wherever you are."

If I had to describe it for someone who had never seen it, I'd say picture Clive Barker and Alejandro Jodorowsky teaming up to do a psychedelic horror film. It's that good. 

Not even close for me although it's an interesting debut definitely. There are far better horrors from the past decade out there though.

Hey, look at that! She's not crazy, she's being chased by a cheetah!

Struck me as trying to be a psychological horror but then gave up for some reason and just decided to be straight up torture porn instead.
