Hey what's up guys
Today I'll show you a horror-fantasy film: "Baskin"
Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
The movie begins in a child's bedroom at night
The young boy is woken up by strange moaning noises, coming from his mother's bedroom
He gets out of bed, and presses his ear to the door as the noises continue
He is about to knock, but decides not to
Instead, he goes to the living room where the TV was left open,
and there is nothing but static on the screen
A red light flashes from the other side of the room; and he sees a bloody hand reaching out to him
He frantically knocks on his mother's door; but no one answers
In the next scene, A hooded figure walks along an empty street
He heads to the back door of a small restaurant
The restaurant is mostly empty, except for a rowdy group of five police officers loudly chatting
They first discuss the upcoming football match, and bet on which team will win
The hooded figure knocks on the door,
and delivers a bucket of raw meat to the owner's son, who cuts the meat for serving the customers
Back inside the dining area, the driver officer is hunched over a separate table,
and is visibly sick because of a headache
He rudely tells their chief to shut up, since he is making his headache even worse
The others take his rudeness in stride, and continue their explicit topic of sex
The aggressive officer, called Officer Aggressive for short,
teases the youngest cop in the group,
nick-named Officer Handsome, for being too handsome to go to brothels like the rest of them
Officer Handsome replies that one of his high school friends
took him to a brothel to lose his virginity
Officer Aggressive then launches into a story,
about how he picked up a gorgeous girl on the side of the road,
and took her to a motel room for some fun
However, he discovered that she was actually a man; but Officer Aggressive still slept with him
Right then, the owner's son serves them at their table,
and laughs with the rest of the group at the officer’s story
But Officer Aggressive does not like that he was laughing along; and quickly gets angry at him
The owner himself steps in, and tries to calm him down
Meanwhile, the driver officer cannot take it anymore,
and runs to the restaurant bathroom to throw up
He sees a small frog on the soap stand
The other police officers try to leave with Officer Aggressive
but he insists on fighting the owner's son
the chief gets fed up with him,
and tells Officer Aggressive to go put his money where his mouth is, and beat up the young man
Officer Aggressive takes the challenge, and hits him in the head
The owner's son gets a few punches in; but Officer Aggressive quickly pummels him
the driver officer looks at the mirror, and screams horrifically
This alarms the group; so they rush to open the restroom stall
However, the driver officer appears to be fine
He tells his friends that he felt like he was losing his mind there, when he stared at the mirror
After a while, the driver officer feels better; and they decide to leave
He volunteers to drive despite what happened
While on the road, the group's mood is lifted; and they start singing along to a song on the radio
But their fun is cut short, when an officer receives a distress call from the Inceagac neighborhood
Another unit is already there; but their unit will be back-up
According to the rumor, this particular neighborhood has a shrine,
and is reportedly a site of many hauntings
The radio suddenly stops working, as they get nearer to the neighborhood
Suddenly, a pale, undressed man crosses the road; and the driver officer slams on the brakes
The police officers rush out of the car, and try to look for the man
but there is no sign of him
They do see strange scratches on the side of their car, and a pile of small frogs on the road
They get back inside the car, and continue driving
But another man appears out of nowhere;
and the driver officer hits him, then crashes the car into the nearby river
Suddenly, the scene shifts
Officer Handsome is sitting with the chief at the same restaurant table;
while the others are crowded around a television
Officer Handsome tells the chief about his childhood friend,
who saw his father's soul leaving his body when he died
One night, Officer Handsome woke up; and there was a crowd of strange people around him;
and the same childhood friend came forward and comforted him
It turns out that Officer Handsome is the same boy shown at the beginning of the film
He had woken up from this dream, and heard strange noises from his mother's room
Then he turned off the TV in the living room; and a figure appeared in his bedroom
It was his childhood friend that he saw; and he was scared
He banged on his mother's door, but then woke up
It was a dream within a dream
But what is even stranger was that the next day,
he heard that his childhood friend died that night, after being hit by a car
Ever since then, he would often have that dream
A year later, he lost his parents to a car crash; and he was raised by his uncle
When he entered the police force, he was placed under the care of his uncle's friend, the chief,
who had become a father figure to the young Officer Handsome
The story ends
but the chief's face turns serious;
and he asks Officer Handsome if he could see anyone else with them in the room
Officer Handsome looks around and finds the other three officers are gone
Hidden behind the chief is a cloaked figure
He reaches out to Officer Handsome with a bloody hand;
and suddenly, the room is overflowing with blood
Officer Handsome regains his consciousness after the van hits the water
The others haul him out of the river;
and they discover that they are effectively stranded, since the vehicle no longer works
Officer Aggressive is angry, and blames the driver officer for the accident
Some locals arrive later, and rescue the police officers
One of them starts laughing;
and Officer Aggressive threatens the man, and kicks over his bucket of crabs
Another local pleads with Officer Aggressive, and explains that the man is mentally disabled
The three officers then go back to the road to look for the man they ran over
But there is nobody there, despite all of them seeing the car hit the man
The locals inform Officer Handsome and the chief that they are already in the Inceagac neighborhood
So the police officers decide to investigate the distress call coming from there
Soon after, they arrive at an abandoned building,
that used to be a police station during the Ottoman empire
The initial responders' car is parked in front of it
The group feels scared, since the building looks dark and creepy
Before they go in,
the chief mysteriously says to Officer Handsome that he holds the key to all of this
the driver officer tries using the radio in the police car; but it doesn't work either
Inside, they find a lone police officer, banging his head on the wall repeatedly
He has a huge gash on his forehead, and is crying
The police officer doesn't say anything, and just stares into the distance
Slowly, he points toward a police cap lying on the ground
The other officers in his unit have disappeared without a trace
Meanwhile, the driver officer wanders into a dirty room with stalls
In each stall, there are people with blindfolds, and wearing chains
They are covered in blood; and some of them seem to be having sex with each other
the driver officer drops his flashlight in surprise; and the people swarm all over him
the chief and the rest of the group enter a room with chains, and blood dripping
There are also occult symbols and objects around the room
On one wall is an explicit drawing of a body being tortured
The other officer finds a dead naked girl, lying inside a cage in a corner;
while Officer Handsome finds a blindfolded woman eating a carcass on a slab;
and another one dissecting a body
Suddenly, a cloaked figure comes up behind the officer, and hits him on the head with a hammer
Meanwhile, Officer Handsome starts shooting in a panic;
and the people wearing chains start chasing the remaining police officers
Right then, Officer Handsome gets another surreal vision
He is once again sitting in front of the chief in the same restaurant
the chief tells him that a supernatural force had summoned them to that building,
not a distress call
the chief had always been attuned to the paranormal;
and the same thing is happening to Officer Handsome
The vision ends; and the group wakes up, chained to wooden posts in a dark dungeon
The leader of the cult of people in chains descends from a staircase
He is wearing a robe
as he makes his way through the crowd, his followers all bow and yearn for his touch
He slowly removes his robe; and the police officers see a bald man with a deformed face
He speaks calmly, and welcomes his guests to the chamber
The leader explains that hell is not a place, but something you carry inside you
Hell had chosen these police officers;
and the leader and his cult of pain-loving followers will guide them through the horrors
The cult leader approaches the weak officer
He splits his shirt, and disembowels him with his nails
The officer's intestines slide to the floor; and he dies
A follower unchains him; and his body is taken by the other cultists
The leader adds that this is not the end for him
When they die, they will simply wake up,
and go through the cycle of pain and torture all over again
Next, the cult leader goes to Officer Aggressive
Brash as ever, he proclaims that the police is the law, and how dare they disrespect the law
However, the cult leader calmly replies that human authority cannot stand against hell's wishes
The leader brandishes a knife,
and asks Officer Aggressive to open his eyes and heart to his cult's beliefs
He chants in a foreign language, and then sticks the blade in Officer Aggressive's eyes repeatedly
Blood squirts out; and a blindfold is placed on his head,
similar to the blindfolds the rest of the cultists are wearing
After that, a naked woman wearing a goat mask, slinks out of a closet,
and crawls to Officer Aggressive
As part of his initiation to the cult, Officer Aggressive will have a smelly exercise with her
Afterward, the leader remarks that his heart and mind are still not open
Suddenly, Officer Aggressive quivers and collapses on the floor, dead
A tarantula creeps out of his mouth, and is taken away by a follower
The leader targets Officer Handsome next
but the chief protests, and says that he is just a kid
The leader touches his head, and then goes to the police chief, who bravely faces his fate
He thanks the police chief for taking care of Officer Handsome,
because now the boy is ready to claim his destiny
The leader then slices a knife across the chief's throat, and bathes in his blood
After that, Officer Handsome gets sucked into another vision
He sees the chief dying on the floor of the restaurant; and he rushes to him while crying
the chief whispers with his dying breath,
that he promised Officer Handsome's uncle he will protect him
He then says that he is now giving Officer Handsome the key
Officer Handsome plucks the strange key from the chief's throat,
and uses it to stab the cult leader right in his forehead
Officer Handsome gets free from his chains;
and he enacts his revenge on the cult leader, by smashing his head with a wooden stool
Around him, the followers cower in fear, and do nothing
Officer Handsome crawls his way out of the building, and laughs triumphantly
He runs through the woods like a madman covered in blood, and walks onto the road
There, Officer Handsome sees an oncoming vehicle;
and he desperately tries to get the driver's attention
As the vehicle goes closer, it becomes very familiar with its blue and red patrol lights
Officer Handsome realizes too late that
the vehicle was the same van they were all riding in earlier;
and that he was the man, who caused them to crash
The movie ends with the car hitting Officer Handsome,
and then swerving to the river,
signifying that the process of pain and torture is starting over again
Like what the cult leader said, hell is not a place, but something you carry inside you
Ever since they were at the restaurant, they were already fated to experience hell and its horror,
just like that information implied by the police chief
who told Officer Handsome that he had the key to all of this,
right before they got into the restaurant
It can be deduced that Officer Handsome is essential to end the torture cycle,
which otherwise, would be repeated over and over again
