Musallat

Some kiddies who are lack of cinema culture can't review this masterpiece that harshly because this movie is superior to not only American horror films but also Japan and Korean films.Surely,An American film company is going to buy script to adapt it to USA.forget all you have seen so far,because this is film is completely a new experience,a fresh breath from Magnificent Turkish cinema industry,a unique contribution to horror genre.I am pretty sure those criticizers typed their merciless reviews in fear and deep horror owing to the deep effect of the movie.I give it 10 out of 10.After seeing this film,you can't stop looking back over your shoulder or at dark corners.

"Musallat" is a well written and good fictioned Turkish horror movie.I think it's unique among other genre movies shot in Turkey.

As being the first movie focusing hugely good on the Islamic exorcism as main theme,it includes also an unusual love story beyond two worlds.The magnetism of the movie is cruel as the story,so we see the characters start to "freefall" into the darkening dynamics of the unknown.

I might say that the chemistry of the visual direction and sound work used in the film are also on a high level.I cannot easily compare these specifications with the other movie examples in Turkish genre cinema.

I think the negativity of this movie is coming up from the dialog scenes between the main character and his best friend in Germany because they look a bit synthetic.

Congratulations and greetings to all the people who worked for this film.

"Musallat" (2007) is a Turkish horror film that delves into the terrifying world of demonic possession. The film centers around a young couple, Nurcan and Suat, who move into a seemingly idyllic countryside home. However, their tranquility is shattered when Nurcan begins to experience unsettling visions and strange occurrences.

The film effectively builds suspense through a gradual escalation of supernatural events. The initial subtle disturbances, such as unexplained noises and flickering lights, slowly intensify, culminating in terrifying displays of demonic possession. The performances, particularly that of Cansu Aktay as Nurcan, are compelling, effectively conveying the character's descent into madness and despair.

"Musallat" draws inspiration from Islamic folklore and mythology, incorporating elements of jinn and other supernatural beings into its narrative. This cultural context adds a unique layer to the film, distinguishing it from more generic horror tropes.

However, the film may not appeal to viewers seeking sophisticated psychological horror. The focus is primarily on graphic depictions of demonic possession and supernatural terror, which may be unsettling for some. Additionally, the film's reliance on jump scares and predictable plot points may not be to everyone's taste.

Despite these minor shortcomings, "Musallat" is a notable entry in the Turkish horror genre. It effectively delivers a chilling and unsettling cinematic experience, with strong performances and a unique cultural context.

I don't understand the point of the antagonistic comments of people. There are not hundreds of examples, you can find less than a dozen of Turkish horror movies in the Turkish movie history. Most of them are bad experiments, have stolen ideas, include a bunch of clichés. Honestly, young Turkish directors just about to START and experience this genre. Musallat could not became a Hollywood level experience with its humble budget and "non horror experienced" technical crew. But it has the most original story ever based on the myths of Turkish culture. And its the only honest and hard-working effort to make an original Turkish horror movie, not Hollywood, j-horror or Korean imitation. The comments from professional critics and writers in the local media is very positive and neutral. The movie definitely helps to progressing of horror movies in Turkey with its unique storytelling, although some people don't want to see that. If you looking for a Hollywood or far Asian style horror film, Musallat could still be an interesting experience. Though if you are looking for an original piece on new Turkish horror genre, Musallat is definitely the one.

I watched the film and I liked it.Because this movie is not identical to other Turkish horrors.Subject is interesting,acting is surprisingly good and the directing is quite successful.And also this subject is very gruesome for Muslim audiences.Because there are a lot of legends and tales about Cins in Turkish Culture.In the first part of the movie many questions are taking shape in the watcher's mind.And all the questions are answered by the director in the second part of the movie.The leading actor Burak Özçivit is pretty successful.The special effects are remarkable.And the sequence of events in the movie are inspired by true events. At last everybody must see this film..
