Üç Harfliler: Beddua

Üç Harfliler: Beddua presents a chilling exploration of the supernatural, filled with suspense, dread, and eerie encounters that keep the audience on edge. With a rating of 7/10, it strikes a good balance between horror and drama. The film revolves around a family that becomes the target of a vengeful jinn after a deeply rooted curse is invoked, leading to a spiral of terrifying events. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and the haunting imagery is effective in evoking fear.

The performances are solid, with the cast skillfully portraying characters under psychological and supernatural torment. The cinematography, too, contributes to the eerie tone, as shadows and dim lighting are used effectively to heighten the sense of dread. However, while Beddua delivers a satisfying sense of suspense, its reliance on familiar horror tropes and a somewhat predictable narrative keep it from fully standing out as a modern horror classic.

The story's tension and exploration of dark, ancestral curses offer an engaging, if somewhat conventional, horror experience. While not groundbreaking, Beddua succeeds in providing an unsettling supernatural tale that horror fans will appreciate.

Pros

1. The twist - Told in a third-person POV, the story is unravelled effectively to deliver the twist at the end of the film.

Cons 1. The characters - Having all-female casts as the main characters feels like a typical stereotype to justify the theme of the story.

2. The pace - Clocking 90 minutes, the simple plot feels so stretched in order to make sense of everything.

3. The scare - They are commonly used in many other horror movies and are very familiar.

Good story but not so scary more than 6 stars are not in it

To be very honest, this horror movie is nothing near to The Conjuring at all! It's a movie mostly about curses and witchcraft, not much of ghost, demon or paranormal activity except a few scenes of the two ghost children playing. Although it's scary, creepy and eerie but it's a very slow movie and some scenes were boring. The plot is good but it's not fresh as similar storylines have been used too often before. Makeups and lightings have been used to replace CGI but still need a lot of improvement especially on the makeup effects. As for eerie and creepy background sound effects, they have been used way too often, even when the cast were having normal conversation. I feel that the movie is too hard sell and trying too hard. The only plus points I can give are the jump scares which were very succesful in delivering BUT too many jump scares again make this whole movie meaningless as from beginning till the end it's only jump scare, jump scare, and more jump scares. Imho, jump scares are a lazy way to frighten viewers, a few jump scares are good but not throughout the entire movie!

I like Alper Mestci movies. This film is like conjuring series. Actually, I can say it is better than the conjuring. There are a lot of jumpscare scenes.
