Dabbe (Dab6e)

I found out about the dabbe series while browsing through IMDb once and decided to give them a go as they had pretty rave reviews. before watching the 6th part I indulged myself into Dabbe: Cin Çarpmasi (2013) & Dabbe: Bir Cin Vakasi (2012) respectively. I loved the former and found the latter to be above average too.

I was excited to watch this latest installment because of the above mentioned movies but sadly i was thoroughly disappointed. It seemed the director wanted to involve too many horror elements and was not able to contain the cesspool he created. The result was a boring, illogical movie that would make you scratch your head and think "Where have I seen it before?"

I agree it was creepy and the gore was good but it was really bad at the same time. Following are some of the things that i absolutely hated.

1. The movie is shot in a really weird way. There is a strange vignetting effect in nearly 70% of the reel. The center of the frame is clear whereas the rest is blurred on purpose. As the movie progresses the director switched to shaky cam give it a found footage effect unnecessarily and that annoyed me greatly.

2. The pacing is really slow with nothing happening at all in the first 60 minutes. We just see Alya getting possessed, mouthing words and pouncing on people aimlessly.

3. The special effects were just terrible. I don't expect such horrible imagery in movie released in 2015.

4. A lot of scenes seemed to be inspired or directly copied from major Hollywood movies. One of the renditions of the jinn seemed to be taken from "the woman in black" for example.

5. The director tries too hard to shock the audience and it stops working after a while as it starts getting too long and boring. A lot of scenes could have been done away with, without altering the story.

My advice is to avoid this movie if you have watched the previous films in the series. This has nothing new to offer.

I've never seen a movie like this in my life. I would recommend it to you if you just want to watch a movie full of jumpscare, but I'm sure even you're going to hate it.

After watching the Dabbe series, it is clear that director, Hasan Karacadag, has mastered his technique. Dab6e has achieved a level of raw terror that is so rare that I almost thought I could never feel it again. The film is not afraid to scare its audience, which is a common problem with Western horror films in our generation. Dab6e is currently the most terrifying film I have ever seen. As usual there will be poor ratings by the public, but I advise horror fans to sit down in a dark silence and view this film. Dab6e uses the classic formula of its predecessors however the film has the highest level of terror in the series.

Dab6e uses a large number of horror elements which are used to petrify the viewer: gore, witchcraft, demons etc. Along with the classic Dabbe twist. Combining these into a film that keeps you captivated the whole way. Simply brilliant. Bravo Dab6e… bravo… 9/10

I loved Dabbe 4. Looked everywhere for Dabbe 3 but to no avail. Somewhat liked dabbe 5. So, I PAID for Dabbe 6 on prime. And I have never been more disappointed about a movie.

There is NOTHING but jump scares in this. You'll realize something is sketchy from the beginning. Plot at the end does feel good but it's wasteful after a horrendous 1st and 2nd acts. Everything reeks of fakeness right from the beginning to the very end.

4 was a classic. I had such high hopes for the 6th version of this franchise. Truly, truly disappointing. Massive let down.

It's cringe to the extent of comedy.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. From a true horror genre lover.

It is still a good horror movie but after seeing dabbe 3, 4 and 5, this one doesn't have the same intensity of its predecessors. Hope the next one does what this one failed to. That said, am still a big fan of the director and the series and I liked this one too.
