D@bbe

As a writer has written above, this movie looks lie a Japanese horror film. If you ask why, there is a Japanese consultant for this movie. If I heaven't seen Takeshi Miike's movies before, I would have worshiped to the quality of this movie.

The lights and the visual effects were very good.

But sadly, it is a copy. Yes, it includes Islamic horror contents but the highest level of horror is given in the Japanese way.

I would recommend "One Missed Call"(Sorry, I don't know its Japanese name) to those who think that this movie is something original and full of horror.

Dabbe is the best Turkish horror film ever.Most of people thinks that the film is very bad.But i don't think like them.There are some reasons.

First this film is first cinema experience for the director.He is trying to do something.And i think he is very good for the first time.He covers the films expense.They have too much impossibilities but they were made it.Everybody knows that the Turkish horror film sector is very bad.But this film is different to them.Its effects are too realistic against the others.And its theme is not used before.It uses the Islamic belief.Dabbe will come the world at the doomsday.This film trying to uses it.After that too many people gone this film.But they have too much prejudice.That gives negative energy to the film.

There are bad things in film.First is the players.They are really bad.The second one is dialogs.it may be better.

Finally; this film isn't a classic.it is not perfect.But it was tried.And i think its successful.

d@bbe is a very good low-budget horror thriller in the traditional sense.It is not a ghost story,or revenge story or haunting story.Briefly The story of dabbe is about possession of internet-world.Jinns and madness meet on 'world wide web' for hellish torment. OK, Acting is terrible but no problem because It has shocks and suspense, especially in the second half.And listen; It's better than some of those movies which make up making millions of dollars despite having no affect on the viewer. If you wonder how we make a good and haunted supernatural thrillers without money,without good equipment,without actors this is your type of films, heyy,people if u haven't seen this movie yet, go to your local movie library and rent it!!!(there is English sub problem with first version you have yo find second version-right one!)

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!
