It was announced today that IFC Midnight has picked up U.S. rights to Can Evrenol’s Baskin, which premiered as part of TIFF’s Midnight Madness programming last week.
“Five cops, working the graveyard shift in the middle of nowhere are dispatched to investigate a disturbance. Isolated and without back up they find themselves confronting a labyrinthine ruin. Pushing ever further into the depths of the lair, it becomes clear they have stumbled into the darkest pits of a terrible evil. A squalid and blood-soaked den of ritual led by The Father – the master of all their nightmares – who will plunge them ever deeper down the rabbit hole and into the very mouth of madness.”
The deal was brokered by Nate Bolotin from XYZ Films on behalf of the filmmakers and by Arianna Bocco for IFC.
When the trailer dropped, so did a lot of jaws, including ours. We’ll make sure to keep you posted on further Baskin developments.
