10 Weirdest Endings In Horror Movies

8. Baskin (2015)

Men movie
The Salt Company International/IFC Midnight

A phantasmagoric and blood-drenched Turkish horror, Baskin follows a group of police officers called as backup in an area steeped in superstition. However, a vision of a bloodied figure in the middle of the road causes the driver to send their van careening into a lake before they arrive.

When the group eventually do make it to the abandoned police station they were summoned to, they realise that they’ve stepped through the gates of Hell. From herein Baskin only gets more excessive as the men journey further into the building. Disturbing rituals, gory orgies, and hellish cultists are all part of the experience from this point onward.

Baskin is a strange film by any definition. But nothing prepares viewers for the ending in which the surviving officers are captured and tortured by the malformed cult leader. Torturing and eye gauging ensues before one of the men is forced to perform a sex act on a monstrous creature. The climax is unapologetic in its depraved insanity - but there’s still one last bit of strangeness to come.

When a sole survivor escapes to witness the car crash from earlier, a final twist suggests that our hero is now forever trapped within purgatory.
