What We Think

"Baskin" is a mostly non-woke, deeply disturbing horror film that focuses on scares and atmosphere, not on pushing any contemporary ideology. If you're tired of Hollywood checklist casting and moralizing, this one's about the horror, not the hashtags.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Baskin" is a gritty Turkish horror film that sticks to atmosphere and disturbing storytelling. It doesn't force representation or push identity-driven characters; instead, it focuses on building an unsettling narrative. No energy is spent on current-day diversity checklists.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film is nihilistic and certainly not a celebration of traditional values, it doesn't spend much time attacking religion, family, or masculinity. Any subversion comes more from its genre (horror) than any present-day ideological movement.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There isn't really any overt ideological messaging. Characters are varied in outlook, and there's little evidence of modern moral or political sermonizing. The horror takes the center stage, not any agenda.
