Güzelligin Portresi

Hollywood has made many of the same films. Technically, the movie is good. But it can't be convincing when it's a Turkish movie.

Was very similar to typical big old house American horror movies but in many ways , was much betterü, the acting, the story, the surprises etc. Especially Burçin Terzioglu as Nisan was great. I recommend.

Great acting performances, especially by Burçin Terzioglu...

Final twist was a bit forced to be honest, felt like an overkill. Other than that, it's watchable.

After his death, a woman reluctantly returns to her home to settle her eccentric father's estate. Admired for his striking artwork, the father's dark and questionable methodology left his daughter damaged. Unable to quickly expedite the closing of his estate, she, along with her husband and daughter, are forced to stay in his eerie sprawling home and she slowly begins to succumb to the psychological affects the house, haunting memories and his artwork has on her.

I've not watched a lot of Turkish horror/thrillers so I do not have much to compare it to in that regard. However, I thoroughly enjoyed this. A solid thriller, this has rich dark undertones and supernatural elements that left me feeling as if, at times, I was watching "The Shinning."

My only complaint is that it did feel a bit long and there were a few things that could've simply been left out. The acting is absolutely great and the story was captivating though and totally makes up for any downside.

I am completely comfortable recommending this film for folks looking for a good thriller.
