This movie is not about the earthquake, it is about death. Yagmur and Durul Brothers are very successful in Kucuk Kiyamet, they project the fears about death and being under wreckage so that it is impossible not to feel the destruction. The story reaches the end smoothly and every piece settles down at the final. The twist in the movie is under covered very successfully.

I also want to add that the directors never claim that Kucuk Kıyamet is a horror film. They say the opposite; it's a psychological film about death.

Başak Köklükaya' s performance is excellent. Cansel Elçin, İlker Aksum and Binnur Kaya are very very good too. All the actors must be proud for their performances, because they added so much to the film.

The art director made a great job too; the catalog "little apocalypse" and all the paintings were wonderful in addition to the general art directing.

Kevin Moore's soundtrack is astonishingly great and fit the mood of the movie. Taylan brothers are very lucky to have him. "Shine" is an excellent choice for the movie and we don't hear too much of it. Everything was in the appropriate dose and amount,there were no place for exaggeration.

This film must be a guideline for other producers and directors for making a perfect but very modest film which is interested only in telling a very good story in the best way they can. This film is even higher the standards of Hollywood films.

Definitely a " must be seen" ; especially the extras on DVD.

I only see two reasons why people may think the movie is weak, the major one is because they couldn't understand it and the other is that they may not know the setting behind it, especially the importance of it to Turkey. Because if understood well, I cannot see any reason why the film can get any negative comments.

First of all, even though it has creepy parts, the movie isn't meant to be a horror or thriller movie. That said, it is still much better in managing to build up the tense atmosphere than any other Turkish 'scary' movie attempts. Plus it isn't like any Hollywood that you can just watch to get scared without using any bit of your brain.

It's definitely a movie worth seeing, especially when the budget used to film it is considered. It may only be missing out on the visual effects, where the excellent progression of the plot and the storyline cover up for, move that enough.

I have seen many, many bad movies, but there is only one that even comes close to this one for sheer awfulness.So,Don't know if I would call it the worst film of all time, but it is pretty bad. I hate filmmakers who take a good idea, and make it into sequels to make certain no one ever remembers the good idea.

The screenplay for "Kucuk kiyamet" is so weak that it's not worth ripping apart.Its so look like the English movie called 'DEAD END'.I hated the first 60mnutes of 'kucuk kiyamet'.It was so boring and especially the dialogs are like a students short movie's dialog. Anyway,do not waste your money and time on theater unless your curious to how bad a film can be made!

I found the users' comments very unrealistic with no solid explanation. I tried to find their other comments or votes for films in order to understand their taste but for some reason IMDb says, the users don't exist. I found the users' comments very unrealistic. They are not criticizing they are judging the film in a subjective way. First of all, this movie has been nominated for 3 awards in SIYAD. The nominees are decided by selected film critics and writers.

How come this film can be so bad that even the previous examples of Turkish horror films can be better than Kucuk Kiyamet? Are you serious for God's sake???? Because according to your comments this film is the worst. I understand if you don't like it compared to the movies that are made in other countries which are better in this genre however I've never watched a better film that it is made in Turkey within this genre.

This film can be considered both as a film that is made just for entertaining and also can be considered both as philosophical. A rare combination, hard to find not only in Turkey, but also in all around the world. I loved the acting, can compete with worldwide actors, very subtle (other than a few scenes), there is no over acting as opposed to many other Turkish films. The film doesn't push you to the limits to cry, which is something Turkish audience is not used to and good drama quality with some thriller sauce. It can be slightly considered as horror as well. It's totally a new style in Turkish Cinema and the hints of an upcoming era. Below I will mention about this theory more. I loved the music; I barely see this kind of a "CINEMA" soundtrack quality. Most soundtracks sound like student films to me here in Turkey. Kucuk Kiyamet is one of the rare ones.

As to me, in order to find our style in film-making as Turkish cinema, first we need to take care of all the technical aspects. Taylan Biraderler have been practicing and doing their homework for a while now. I could easily see their development step by step. In this film I see something unique. It's not Hollywood, it's not Asian, it's Turkish. I can totally see the Turkish mood in the movie. I can understand the confusion on people's mind, because the importance of this film will be understood later in the future, just like any important "movement" in art, literature or cinema. The ones who are educated in "literary art movements" they will understand what I mean here.

Usually people can put a finger on a movement after it develops in time. For instance scholars don't say "today post-modern era starts", the era starts and after a while, upon observing the changes in literature, art, etc. they decide there is a change in the movement and they give it a name. So I believe in the future, this movie will be mentioned in school books at cinema schools, just like "Eskiya" or "Istanbul Kanatlarimin Altinda" or "GORA". These are also movies which started a new era in Turkish Film history.

I can also see the technical problems in the film however as someone who worked on both film sets (Turkey and Hollywood), I totally appreciate the directors for accomplishing this. Because I experienced how hard it is for Turkish directors to work on film sets. There is no organization, there is no system and most of the people don't know what they are doing. They usually have to work with whatever that have in hand. I don't know how this film set was, but I am sure they were exploring and trying to find ways to make it happen as opposed to Hollywood where you can work easily since they were "been there, done that!"

Regardless of you like it or not, I recommend you to watch it! One day this movie will be appreciated more than it is now even for the ones who don't like it.

I don't understand why this movie gets negative comments, it's not a bad movie at all (it's not a very good movie either) anyway it doesn't deserve 1/10 imo. The visual effects was fine and i didn't notice a bad act however Ilker Aksum's act was great, for some reasons I have never like this actor (maybe coz of the characters he played) but in this movie he was like a pro.

I can clearly say that Kucuk Kiyamet worths your every penny but if you are a fan-boi of Mehmet Ali Erbil and his Co. and like the same stupid jokes from the same ppl don't go to this movie you have a lot of Mali options anyway.

I watched Kucuk Kiyamet and without any doubt can recommend everybody to watch it.

When you watch it I suggest you to watch carefully in order not to miss hidden clues/codes in the script. This movie is not for average audience, since just looking at the screen is not sufficient to understand what is going on. Hence, if you are below average you may get bored. Plus, considering the fact that this movie is shut with a low budget compared to its American peers, it must be applauded for this purpose only, as well.

Have fun

I saw this movie years ago, when it was first released. It's a beautiful, haunting epic that has stayed with me all these years.

I had no idea what to expect when I walked into the theater, so I was taken on a roller-coaster ride that began with the mundane (a family setting out on a vacation), turned frightening and surreal (the nightmarish vacation by-the-sea), and ended on a disastrous, poignant note that made perfect sense.

I particularly like Yucel's delving into the subconscious (or perhaps unconscious) aspects of disaster and fear. The Taylans handled the material with grace and kept the plot moving in unexpected and delightful ways.

A really enjoyable experience that was the very essence of international cinema.

This movie has nothing you can expect. I adore specially the acting, and specifically Ilker Aksum's performance.
