Tickets: £5 / £4

Cultish takes an Anatolian trip to hell, covering you in as much blood as possible with a special preview screening of Baskin. A Turkish mix of Hellraiser and Event Horizon, the vicious and the viscous come together in malevolent harmony.

A squad of unsuspecting cops go through a trapdoor to hell when they stumble upon a black mass in an abandoned building, in the tour-de-force feature début from ferociously talented director Can Evrenol.

Based on Evrenol’s terrifying 2013 short of the same name, and drawing upon a diverse range of inspirations — not only such films as Quest for Fire, Apocalypse Now, and Hellraiser but also the paintings of Caravaggio, Bosch, and Giger — Baskin offers up a nightmarish compendium of imaginative frights that will leave even seasoned horror-movie fans reeling.

As a special treat cultish DJs will then spin horrific Turkish delights 'til we reach Hades.
