D@bbe

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"

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.

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.

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.

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!)
