Dabbe: Cine Carpmasi

Packing 4 times the punch, this movie is a revelation in the Genre.

120 minutes of most terrifying movie experience. Having seen 3 Dabbe movies, I thought I could manage watching this latest addition but I was wrong.

The world has taken note of Hasan's work and he is all set to make his mark in Hollywood. I love his style of film-making. He has proved in each of his movies that an excellent movie can be made out of a small budget, hand-held camera work could be as good as the others, good actors, script and direction are enough to make a good movie, and that there is so much to be explored in the Genre.

I wonder how he is able to sleep at nights. After watching Dabbe 4, I couldn't sleep for two weeks, whatever little sleep I could muster was filled with the most horrific nightmares(I am not sure if all of them are nightmares). I had to throw the "Evil Eye" charm (one of em was hung in the living room by my Aunt and she had received it as a gift from a friend who happens to live in Istanbul::how creepy is that!). I was scared to look in the mirror, scared of shadows and the darkness. I had to be counseled by a friend so that I could snap out of my fright and be normal.

Dabbe 3 and 4 are based on actual events. And the sounds of the Jinns we hear in the movie were retrieved from the original case files of the events. 7 out of 8 movies that he made are in the Horror Genre. I wonder whether he could sleep at all. And the kind of information he has about the world of the Devil and the Jinns is shockingly precise and intricate.

Dabbe 3 and 4 are the best Horror movies I've ever seen. I guess, only Hasan could best this record and I hope he makes more of them.

Dabbe 4 is a disturbing, unsettling and chilling movie. It is a class film and if you liked The Blair Witch Project and paranormal activity you will love this. Acting was perfect and The characters themselves are believable. There is a interesting and good build up.. of the story and the tension ! The story is about all secrets behind the jinn exorcism and jinn possession Its not important that You believe or not to the Jinn,you will scare. The storyline is unique and makes you think,about the jinns.The jinns are most terrifying unknown beings int he World.Strange and slow storyline mixed with The mystery and unknown elements of old Anatolian chilling tales. Actually It's not your typical American horror with good looking teens etc! Definitely the best Turkish horror I've seen in ages, and I'm hard to please when it comes to scary films, it's clever, very chilling and very jumpy indeed, go ahead and watch it, just sleep with the lights on!

Dabbe Cin Carpmasi (Dabbe;The Curse of the JINN) I recommend to any horror fans.

-It's too long -It can seem overwrought, though that might from and American POV. . -The plot is convoluted and can sometimes be difficult to follow. -I'll never watch the ending again.

It is also the first film to scare the utter crap out of me in a long, long time.

Written and directed by Hasan Karacadag, the film is about a doctor and an exorcist who are called out to the home of a seemingly possessed woman who had killed her husband on their wedding day a couple of years earlier, and who has been possessed since.

The doctor believes that the woman has a personality disorder and of course the spiritualist believes she is possessed. This almost plays out like a Scully/Mulder X-Files scenario and is fun to watch.

The film is a little long at 2 hours 14 minutes but it gets really intense near the middle and end and is a lot of fun. Karacadag has upped the scare factor from his 2012 entry, "Dabbe: Bir cin vakasi", also about vengeful genies. He knows how to use the camcorder and lighting to maximum effect and when watching his movies you just know that when it gets dark, something scary is going to happen.

All in all a must-watch for horror and found footage fans, as well as anyone who was disappointed by "Paranormal Activity" and its sequels.

Frankly speaking it's my first ever Turkish movie and oh man!!! what a movie. superb plot,incredible acting and the places looks horrific. Last year's the conjuring was the best horror movie for me till date. But this movie is definitely will be on my top 5 best horror movies ever. Based on a Muslim country and all the elements are based on Islam. As a Muslim i liked it most. Many of the things seemed pretty much like original. And that's what i seek from a horror movie. The camera work is like the paranormal activity series. Thus the movie got better then the static cam work. unlike paranormal activity series it's not boring. Gonna give viewers shocks time to time. A must watch for the horror lovers.
