"The Raid"

The trailer reminded me of "The Raid: Redemption", and, from what I remember, The Raid's alternate title was "Baskin". This movie looks just as fun as The Raid, as well.

Interesting, the Turkish title for "The Raid" was "Baskin." However, I'd say the similarities are minimal at best.

Of course. The similarities are mostly in the very beginning of the trailer. Still, that's a hell of a coincidence.

The Raid was action/martial arts film and this is straight up horror. Basically the similarities end in the name. But this does look creepy as hell!

Right. I'm not saying they're going to be the same film. I'm saying that the beginning of the trailer, involving police officers in an armored truck driving to a raid, reminded me of "The Raid". Which is also called "Baskin". And yeah, the movie looks pretty good.

The Raid was a far better film than Baskin, despite stealing its entire story from the leaked Dredd script.

"Raid" means "baskin" in Turkish.

Apparently it also means descent as well, at least that's what the internet tells me. Quite apt if it's true.
