Siccin 2

"Siccin 2" conjures another eerie chapter with a 6/10 rating from me, and I must admit, I found it strangely captivating. The acting maintains a consistent level of intensity, immersing us in the unfolding supernatural horrors. The film editing maintains a sense of suspense throughout, though it occasionally feels sluggish. The film's strength lies in its deep exploration of Turkish folklore and its ability to sustain an atmosphere of dread. The music adds to the film's unsettling ambiance, while the cinematography captures the darkness lurking within everyday settings. "Siccin 2" continues to delve into the unsettling and reinforces the message that meddling with the supernatural carries dire consequences, even if it occasionally stumbles on its own supernatural journey. For those who enjoy a dose of supernatural chills, it's a worthy watch.

One of the horror at its best..use ur headphone or home theatre at night to watch ..u will be scared for sure

This movie is far more than just a ghost story actually. There is absolutely nothing negative I can say about this film. It really is one of the best horror films ever made. And the cupboard scene is amazing!!!

The second movie of the series brings us a unique blend of drama and horror. With Resit Gözdamla's theme music, we feel the emotional weight of the story deep inside. The plot is genuinely heartbreaking, featuring scenes that sensitive viewers may not easily forget. The movie delivers a clear message: those who mess with black magic and ruin people's lives will pay the price. I really liked that part. Overall, a solid work.

Compared to the first movie, this one has more jumpscare scenes. For this particular film, the number of scares feels just right. Although a few jump scares might have been unnecessary, the timing was generally well executed.

In my opinion, this is one of the Siccin movies with the most realistic storyline. It feels like we're watching real events unfold. It's been said that the graveyard scenes were actually filmed in the cemetery that inspired the story. The opening shows a news broadcast about a real event, trying to give the audience a sense of reality. Was it really necessary? I'm still not sure, even after multiple viewings.

As for the locations, the set designs were fantastic. The atmosphere of the story was successfully reflected on screen. Especially the possessed house set-it was excellent. The practical makeup effects were done properly, without exaggeration. That's exactly what we want: to be scared with minimal yet well-made effects.

The lead actress portrayed the role of the mother perfectly. I truly believe she managed to convey the emotional depth of this tragic story. Through its emotional scenes, we witness the ruined life of a mother...

I had actually stumbled upon several of the movies in the "Siccin" franchise once before, but opted not to watch them back then. But that was to change here in 2025, as I had the opportunity to watch some of them, but sadly not all of them.

While I have not watched the 2014 first movie in the franchise, named "Siccin", I have no idea if this 2015 sequel is connected to the first movie or not. I assume so, since the intro sequence for "Siccin 2" displayed a lot of glimpses of things that were not in the sequel, so I assume that was from the first movie. And I don't know if I would have understood "Siccin 2" more and enjoyed it more, had I watched the 2014 movie "Siccin" first.

Regardless, I had the opportunity to watch "Siccin 2" and opted to do so, since it was a horror movie that I hadn't already seen. And I do believe that this is my first exposure to Turkish cinema.

Writers Alper Mestçi and Ersan Özer put together a script that proved rather enjoyable and entertaining. It certainly was a movie that I found to be good, and it was a narrative that had enough of traditional horror elements to it, as well as a narrative that wasn't overly predictable.

Given this being my first exposure to Turkish cinema, of course I was not familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list. But I really must say that the acting performances in the movie were good.

Something that definitely impressed me about "Siccin 2" was the special effects. The special effects looked really good in the movie, and added a lot of flavor and atmosphere to the overall movie.

If you enjoy horror movies, and don't mind non-English movies, then "Siccin 2" is certainly a movie that is well-worth watching.

My rating of director Alper Mestçi's 2015 movie "Siccin 2" lands on a well-deserved six out of ten stars.
