The story of the movie is real great. There are couple of other movies like this one(Büyü). The real freaky thing about it is that at the gala of Büyü the movie theater burnt down, a lot of things went wrong during the filming. And at the filming of this movie(Dabbe), according to director and cast, there where couple of shapes flashing in the pictures. And the director got really scary nightmares where he got warned.
This doesn't surprise me, the movies tell's us about beings that are mentioned in the Quran.
Have fun watching it.

Actually I was surprised when I read the other comments. Everybody is concerning about bad script, bad actors, disturbing effects etc. But i have found "388@0" successful. It has a script that fits to "Kairo"-"Pulse". But more than that, it has some cultural components as "djins". They are evil spirits that they can not effect human life directly. But Turkish culture has a lot of stories about djin attacks to human life. The name of the film "DaBBE" refers to "dabbet-ul arz" of the Islam. "Dabbet-ul arz" is Arabic and means "the one that walks on earth". It is mentioned in the Qoran (the holy book of Muslims). It will come to earth as one of the last signs of the Armageddon. And it will tell everybody that who will go to heaven or hell. Because of containing cultural scary myths, "DABBE" has a psychological element to scare audience. That is why it is successful. It takes a original script and adapts it to the cultural myths. So you are not scared of audio/visual effects but deep in your brain, the script makes you scared. But, yes actors and actress are so bad. One more thing to mention. The characters have some e-mails or phone calls after the first death. The subject of the e-mails and the phone number of the dialer is shown as "388@0". When you look this in the mirror. You see "0@88E" = "D@BBE"
I saw this movie a few day ago. It's not originally and unique movie but have a few newness in Turkish Horror cinema. Dabbe is first movie of KIYAMET(Doomsday) trilogy. We wait for "Deccal and Mehdi" and last movie "Isa Mesih". A director used metaphysical and technological elements together in a movie. This is a revolution for Turkish cinema culture. Writer and Director Hasan Karacadag knows Asian, especially Japanese horror movie well. Dabbe remind me Kiyoshi Kurosawa's "Kairo" and Hideo Nakata's "Ringu". He adapted Islamic believes to Asian horror aesthetic and telecommunication technology. Dabbe is a sign of end of world. Movie has inspired by Neml Sura in Koran. Director preferred darkness and and blurred colors. Sciences are not enough for explain some events. As in this movie. Sound effects are very successfully.
I recommend watching!

When I watched 'Dabbe'I was shocking.Because The budget of this film is only 100.000 Dollar.This film is about the doomsday of Islamic belief.This is very hard story for a movie maker,especially in Turkey.Because there is a lot of taboo about Islamic themes.The director of 'Dabbe' ''Hasan Karacadag'' is very courageous and first I want to congratulate him for his courage. The word 'Dabbe' appears in a number of verses of the Qur'an, although Surat an-Naml: 82 is the only one that refers to this particular event that will happen in the final times. When we set out the features of the 'Dabbe' as it appears in this verse, the following picture emerges:
1. The 'Dabbe' is a moving like hair(The cables of internet)
2. The 'Dabbe' is the product of the earth.(silicon-computer)
3. The 'Dabbe'is a thing or creature that speaks and gives a particular message, which is addressed to all of mankind.
4.The mean of 'dabbe'(Sanskritic language):Things,like spider's web
So this movie says:'Dabbe'is internet The edit of 'Dabbe'is so interesting.I could not see ever this paradoxically storytelling in another horror movies.Also 'dabbe' using internet for deep horror impact.I watched 'kairo' and pulse.I liked 'kairo' but pulse is very weak.Ithink The success of Dabbe is secret in this word;''DJinns''.'Dabbe' does'not use Ghost,souls,zombie,vampire etc.It use the scary of Jinns.In the mirror life and in the Shadow life you can feel the power of them.They are Jinns and they want to contact with people.They are using internet and they want to connect with the brain of human.They are copying you and they shown you, just ''other piece of YOU'.What is the other piece of you;If you wonder please watch 'D@bbe' immediately!The doomsday is very near!

This film is best Turkish horror film.You can feel very strong atmosphere of Islamic horror stories.If you believe the religion(Islam or other ones) you will like this film more than atheists.But this film is not Islamic or religion-ism etc movie.This film is horror about another worlds.whispers,jinns,''D@bbe'Tull arz'',apocalypse of human souls,internet.In turkey we never watch a film like ''Dabbe''.I liked it very much.Because when I watched this film I feel dead near my body.Please watch ''D@bbe'' when you alone.and please don't turn off LIGHT!Its dangerous........... definitely you will see a bad dream!
I am waiting for second film of director ''Hasan Karacadag''.I know he lives in Japan.He is also a genius of physics.
