Dabbe: Zehr-i Cin

I heard a lot about the Turkish Dabbe franchise and I had nr 5 for years in my to watch list on Netflix and now I finally had the time to take a look at it.

Must say, it wasn't that bad after all. First you have to got used to the way of acting, the Turkish language and of course the Muslim world of belief. And even there we have a Satan and possession and this is what this flick is all about.

Not bad at all, extreme flashy editing. A lot of creepy moments and a good script. Maybe over 2 hours is a bit too long but I never found a dull moment.

For the geeks it's one to discover but be open-minded to the Turkish world.

Classic Turkish jinn horror movies.

Scary but pointless.

It was an proper horror movie. The acting was fantastic, cinematography and sound effects were just mind blowing.

After watching Dabbe 3 and Dabbe 4, the director successfully displays his style throughout the series. Dabbe 5 has a similar story to the other films in the series however it differs in its twist, location and scares. In Dabbe 3 and 4 we see a slower progression in the films with the horror usually lying in the ending scenes. This changes in Dabbe: Zehr-i Cin. The film Begins on a horrifying note and is certainly more terrifying than its predecessors. The director of the series definitely evolves throughout the series. The classic Dabbe formula: combining science and religion, modern technology and ancient folklore using a western cinematic style and eastern cultural aspects is apparent in this film. I would recommend this film if the viewer enjoyed Dabbe 3 and 4. Scares: 8/10 Actors: 7/10 Story: 8.5/10 Overall: 8/10

I just wrote a review on "D@bbe: The Possession" and thought I'd follow it up with one on this title as well. I was a little put off by the obviously fake reviews on here but decided to check these movies out on Netflix and glad I did. Demons scare the hell out of me, so these movies definitely had me jumping at times. These movies touch on "evil" in ways that hit a nerve with me - maybe because I'm a Christian? I'm not sure, but this director does a great job with making me uneasy. For some reason, the movies remind me of "Phantasm". They are a little campy, some weird directing choices, and have an "Indie" feel to them, but I still really enjoyed them. Onto "D@bbe 6"! Hoping it's as good as the other two...
