Ghost stories have been told as long as human beings have stalked the earth. They serve as a way to comprehend and dress in language what is hidden behind the fragile veil of our perceived view of reality. Whether the subjects of these stories exist or not can never be confirmed by the masses, but individuals have very concrete opinions as believers or skeptics.
Co-writers and directors Andy Nyman and Jeremy Dyson know how to scare an audience and tell a ghost story. After years of honing their craft on stage when their play Ghost Stories first debuted in 2010 in London’s Duke of York’s Theatre and ran for a record breaking 26 months (and later the Arts Theatre and international productions in Toronto, Shanghai, Lima, Sydney, and Moscow), Nyman and Dyson decided to adapt their “Grand Guignol” style play for the big screen. Horror fans should be thankful that they did, as the film version of Ghost Stories captures everything discerning film goers look for in a horror film.read more

“Prepare for a whole new vision of Turkish cinema…BASKIN is creepy, weird and amazing.” – Ryland Aldrich, TWITCH FILM

Opening LA @ Arena Cinema on April 1st
A five-man unit of cops on night patrol get more than they bargain for when they arrive at a creepy backwater town in the middle of nowhere after a call comes over the radio for backup. Entering a derelict building, the seasoned tough guys and their rookie junior, who’s still haunted by a traumatic childhood dream, do the one thing you should never do in this kind of movie: they split up. They soon realize they’ve stumbled into a monstrous charnel house and descend into an ever-more nightmarish netherworld where grotesque, mind-wrenching horrors await them at every turn. This is one Baskin (that’s “police raid” to you non-Turkish speakers) that isn’t going to end well. But wait! Things aren’t what they seem in this truly disturbing, outrageously gory, and increasingly surreal film whose unpredictable narrative pulls the carpet from under your feet and keeps you guessing right up to the final moment. A wildly original whatsit that reconfirms Turkey as the breakout national cinema of the moment.read more
