D@bbe - Die Dämonischen

Actually I was surprised when I read the other comments. Everybody is concerning about bad script, bad actors, disturbing effects etc. But i have found "388@0" successful. It has a script that fits to "Kairo"-"Pulse". But more than that, it has some cultural components as "djins". They are evil spirits that they can not effect human life directly. But Turkish culture has a lot of stories about djin attacks to human life. The name of the film "DaBBE" refers to "dabbet-ul arz" of the Islam. "Dabbet-ul arz" is Arabic and means "the one that walks on earth". It is mentioned in the Qoran (the holy book of Muslims). It will come to earth as one of the last signs of the Armageddon. And it will tell everybody that who will go to heaven or hell. Because of containing cultural scary myths, "DABBE" has a psychological element to scare audience. That is why it is successful. It takes a original script and adapts it to the cultural myths. So you are not scared of audio/visual effects but deep in your brain, the script makes you scared. But, yes actors and actress are so bad. One more thing to mention. The characters have some e-mails or phone calls after the first death. The subject of the e-mails and the phone number of the dialer is shown as "388@0". When you look this in the mirror. You see "0@88E" = "D@BBE"

The story of the movie is real great. There are couple of other movies like this one(Büyü). The real freaky thing about it is that at the gala of Büyü the movie theater burnt down, a lot of things went wrong during the filming. And at the filming of this movie(Dabbe), according to director and cast, there where couple of shapes flashing in the pictures. And the director got really scary nightmares where he got warned.

This doesn't surprise me, the movies tell's us about beings that are mentioned in the Quran.

Have fun watching it.

As a writer has written above, this movie looks lie a Japanese horror film. If you ask why, there is a Japanese consultant for this movie. If I heaven't seen Takeshi Miike's movies before, I would have worshiped to the quality of this movie.

The lights and the visual effects were very good.

But sadly, it is a copy. Yes, it includes Islamic horror contents but the highest level of horror is given in the Japanese way.

I would recommend "One Missed Call"(Sorry, I don't know its Japanese name) to those who think that this movie is something original and full of horror.

I saw this movie a few day ago. It's not originally and unique movie but have a few newness in Turkish Horror cinema. Dabbe is first movie of KIYAMET(Doomsday) trilogy. We wait for "Deccal and Mehdi" and last movie "Isa Mesih". A director used metaphysical and technological elements together in a movie. This is a revolution for Turkish cinema culture. Writer and Director Hasan Karacadag knows Asian, especially Japanese horror movie well. Dabbe remind me Kiyoshi Kurosawa's "Kairo" and Hideo Nakata's "Ringu". He adapted Islamic believes to Asian horror aesthetic and telecommunication technology. Dabbe is a sign of end of world. Movie has inspired by Neml Sura in Koran. Director preferred darkness and and blurred colors. Sciences are not enough for explain some events. As in this movie. Sound effects are very successfully.

I recommend watching!

I watch screening by chance a few weeks ago to see '''Dabbe''', '''D@bbe''' up here in Tokyo.I could not know about Islamic or Turkish horror movies. I liked it.This film is very good mix of famous Japanese horrors.I was surprised because director of '''Dabbe''', '''Mr.Hasan Karacadag''' is not Japanese.But the style of this film is very near the J-horror techniques.I know its very difficult to make J-horror movie with other Asian countries people and cultures.Because J-horror style is very special.The appeal of the stories is likely to be found in old Japanese culture and historical background unique to Japan.I think the background of Islamic culture and spiritual Japanese stories are using same things.The secret sides of dead and life, with suspecting of religion. '''Dabbe''' , '''D@bbe''' was very enjoyable and attractive for me.In Japanese language we say;'''Tanoshii Eiga!!!
