YMMV / Baskın

Go To

  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: The scene with the cops singing in the van. It comes completely out of nowhere and doesn't add to the plot.
  • Genius Bonus: References to Turkish superstition and Zoroastrianism are abound in Baskin, as noted in this video.
  • Jerkass Woobie: Yavuz, at least by the end. Sure, he's a Jerkass with absolutely zero redeeming characteristics, but it can be difficult not feeling at least some pity for him considering how he was begging for his life and ended up suffering the worst onscreen death of the bunch.
  • Nausea Fuel: There's a scene where one of the cultists is chewing on Apo's intestines, with what can only possibly be excrement oozing out of them.
  • Squick: Yavuz is forced to breed with a nude woman wearing only a goat skull and a straw skirt. Oh, yeah, and his eyes have been gouged out.
  • Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: The cops — Police Brutality aside — are most definitely assholes, but the cult that they're up against — while Obliviously Evil at best — are bloodthirsty and violent beyond reasoning. Makes it really difficult to root for anyone.
  • The Woobie: Arda seems to be the only truly decent cop in the movie, and he's been through a lot. He walked in on his parents — who died not long after he did so — having sex while he was being menaced by a boogeyman figure, and he's forced to watch his father figure who clearly has some idea that something supernatural is afoot get butchered.
