I had actually stumbled upon several of the movies in the "Siccin" franchise once before, but opted not to watch them back then. But that was to change here in 2025, as I had the opportunity to watch some of them, but sadly not all of them.
While I have not watched the 2014 first movie in the franchise, named "Siccin", I have no idea if this 2015 sequel is connected to the first movie or not. I assume so, since the intro sequence for "Siccin 2" displayed a lot of glimpses of things that were not in the sequel, so I assume that was from the first movie. And I don't know if I would have understood "Siccin 2" more and enjoyed it more, had I watched the 2014 movie "Siccin" first.
Regardless, I had the opportunity to watch "Siccin 2" and opted to do so, since it was a horror movie that I hadn't already seen. And I do believe that this is my first exposure to Turkish cinema.
Writers Alper Mestçi and Ersan Özer put together a script that proved rather enjoyable and entertaining. It certainly was a movie that I found to be good, and it was a narrative that had enough of traditional horror elements to it, as well as a narrative that wasn't overly predictable.
Given this being my first exposure to Turkish cinema, of course I was not familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list. But I really must say that the acting performances in the movie were good.
Something that definitely impressed me about "Siccin 2" was the special effects. The special effects looked really good in the movie, and added a lot of flavor and atmosphere to the overall movie.
If you enjoy horror movies, and don't mind non-English movies, then "Siccin 2" is certainly a movie that is well-worth watching.
My rating of director Alper Mestçi's 2015 movie "Siccin 2" lands on a well-deserved six out of ten stars.
