==Ratings==
===[http://www.mpaa.org/film-ratings/ MPAA Ratings]===

* Rated: (not rated) (equivalent to an R for Violence and gore, Profanity, violent Sexual Content, etc.)

===Tentacle Ratings===
A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
* S____ (One Tentacle: Debateably Lovecraftian; has almost no direct connection to Lovecraft's work)

This film perhaps comes across a little bit like a Turkish cross between "The Horror at Red Hook" and ''[[The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974 franchise)]]'', and Call of Cthulhu fans might be forgiven for interpreting "The Father" character, with his gleeful participation in abominable and primitive mystic rituals, as a [[Tcho-Tcho]] cult leader....

''Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.''

Review Links:
* Mr. Disgusting at Bloody Disgusting, ([http://bloody-disgusting.com/reviews/3361404/review-baskin-spine-tingling-tale-straight-outta-hell/ link]) - "...No, Baskin isn’t that trip to Hell we were all expecting, it’s instead a slow-paced horror fairytale that you tell bad children at bedtime to scare them into being good.... At times it feels as if Evrenol is trying too hard to shock the audience, throwing so much oddity and obscurity it’s hard to know if there’s actual backstory to any of it...."

==Synopsis==

{{spoiler|
Five police officers, caught somewhere between life and death following life-long brushes with the supernatural and an accident which plunges their police van into a river, are called for backup to an abandoned police station in remote and strange district referred to locally as "Hell", where they find themselves at the mercy of an abominable cannibal devil-cult led by a dwarf mystic, "The Father".
