Okul

This movie coming from Turkey where you can't find any tradition of horror movies. First I was afraid of watching just an adaptation but after seeing it I have changed my mind. It has original scenario.A love movie using horror thema. Most of the players are not famous young people but their performance is proofing that a new generation is coming. Maybe this is a sign that turkish cinema is coming back after 20 years.

I was not expecting a classic, but at least a funny film. There were only a few scenes that makes you laugh but nothing more. You don't scare it is full of American teen-slasher cliches and you can guess what will happen easily.

But it tells much about a senior student in a Turkish High-School. Pressure of Student Selection Exam (OSS) that 3-hour-exam determines which university you'll go and thinking about the exam when a ghost is after you is not exaggeration. The movie is bad. Don't waste your time to watch it.

I remember first time I watched that movie I was 8 or 9. I couldnt sleep like 3-4 nights. Today I am 21 years old and I realize movie is not scary at all. But I like the cast. Every one of cast member became famous and successful. Especially Nehir Erdogan and Melisa Sozen. My biggest dissapoitment is Sinem Kobal's acting skills. I havent seen worse acting in professional movie. I enjoyed to movie.

There was nothing about horror.The movie was not horror or something close.It was just a funny teenage movie with lots of swaering and a stupid ghost(he was such a dork when he was alive and the same when he is dead). The producers tried to sell it by the young and beautiful(I dont think so)actresses and some of Turkish celebrites such as Deniz Akkaya.Yes it worked and lots of 11-16 year old boys watched it.And producers made money with that.But is making movies like this develops Turkish cinema...I don't think so... There are some frightening moments but they don't affect you because of the pointless swearing and stupid scenes(the boys in the movie swears everything and anytime).After watching you don't remember the scary scenes you remember the stupid dialogues for example "This is salty...the school is crying"(after tasting the water coming from the walls).

I think it's an interesting movie for its time. Those who watch now may not find it interesting.
