Islam, like all other religions, believes too much in other life and forms of spirits. The film is good, but there is a problem permanently in the horror Turkish movies, It's repeat itself, Repetition of the idea and religious rites. Cinematography and Performance it's OK, but sound effects is bad. but the idea for me that it is no different from commercial horror films that dealing the same way with the Christian religion

I just started watching Turkish horror & I am obsessed! Thanks to NETFLIX I got to watch Dabbe 2 & 6. I was impressed. Then I saw this older gem. Just like English possession movies which uses Christian or Judaism themes, Islamic religious tones used a lot in Turkish horror. The result is mind boggling creepy. The amount of gore is decent & the jump scares are minimal. The acting & storyline are above all that. I do think that the movie ends abruptly, not that its a bad thing but I could use a couple of extra horrifying minutes. When it was stated that they changed the original names of characters, does that mean this is inspired from a real story? But most of these movies claim that. I'm not convinced.. Nah..

I got pulled into seeing this aft enjoying Baskin. Basically the film is similar to Drag Me To Hell with a twist n some creepy atmosphere. A woman visits a soccerer to find out if her cousin is suitable for her to marry to which the soccerer after doing some ritual tells her to be away from the guy. Fast forward 12 years n the guy is married to another female n they have a blind daughter. The wife is mostly busy with household chores, especially tending to her sick mother n blind daughter. After an accidental abortion n the guy's shunning behaviour, the woman once again visits the soccerer with lots of cash n jewellery n asks him to perform black magic on the cousin's wife so that she can be with him. Ther r some annoying repeated pig butchering scenes. The director succeeded in creating a surrealistic atmosphere by jus focusing on few characters n mostly night scenes. The demon scenes were similar to the Asian horror films. I was able to predict the twist but it was conclusive.

Religious theme horror, it's okay, they nailed the creepy atmosphere and great make-up.

story-wise its a mess. bad directing, bad editing and depend too much on the jump scares. couldn't care less about the plot and the characters which to me is very important.

but, as far as the horror movies go, it's not bad, there are much worse horror movies than this. it's still fun to watch with your siblings or friends. some people might get scared.

An Islamic parable. Written as a cautionary tale about using black magic. I loved every second of this and was excited to find horror from Turkey as they don't have much to offer in the genre. This is actually a series of 6 so far and they are free on YouTube. I think most horror nerds will find some appreciation in its execution given its low budget.
