Okul

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).

Okul"The School" is a result of a new trend in Turkish cinema. Having used the same stories over and over again new generation directors finally come up with different ideas. Of course, it doesn't mean that they are all grand. I think Okul is one of them. It is supposed to be a scary movie but it is not. It is not successful on being scary either. So what is it? Actors are so average especially Deniz Akkaya is pretty annoying with the teacher role. I am sure it could have been better if it was tried on harder. Maybe concentrating on one topic such as making it scary or vice versa. But directors have missed the target this time. ** out of *****

the movie is: the return of the soul of a student who has chosen suicide after being teased by all the school because of his love to a girl and the stories he wrote to her.. eventually, his revenge will be a "terrifying comedy"... it's obvious that it wont be something to watch with pleasure but still the attempt is good and wish the rest of the road will be brighter in this sector of turkey..

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.

Okul is one of the most interesting Turkish movies. Its concept has been called "korkunc komik", which means something like "scary and funny" in Turkish. It has many elements inspired from American teen-slasher movies; however "Okul" somehow shows the Turkish way of "humor".
