I can say that the Üç Harfliler film series' script was the deepest in terms of depth. There was a chain of events that was difficult to predict. At some point, you are completely trying to solve the events. In my opinion, the horror scenes were a bit exaggerated. Rather than too many horror scenes, having some scenes in the right place and time binds the audience more. I can say that I deducted a few points in this regard. Other than that, I congratulate the film's art team; they did an excellent job. It was successful in terms of visuals. The sets and makeup clearly conveyed that atmosphere to us...
Now let's talk about other issues.
I actually liked the acting. Especially Elçin Aatamgüç's portrayal of the character Züleyha was excellent. The actor was truly living the role. She deserves many congratulations... The most important thing that caught my attention was the film's script. Indeed, the script has been worked on, and a truly laborious work has been put into it. The script was meticulously crafted, and a quality work emerged.
I wish the horror scenes were more appropriate and moderate. At some point, it starts to become repetitive, which is enough to alienate the audience from the screen...

Nazar (2012) from the Üç Harfliler series takes a slightly different approach by incorporating the idea of the "evil eye" into its supernatural narrative. With a rating of 6/10, the film offers some chilling moments, though it ultimately falls short in delivering a fully immersive horror experience. The story revolves around a young woman who falls victim to a malicious jinn after being cursed by someone's envious gaze.
While Nazar does a good job of tapping into cultural fears surrounding envy and curses, it struggles to maintain consistent tension throughout. The idea of the evil eye and its connection to jinn is an intriguing one, but the execution doesn't quite deliver the sustained dread that could make the story truly terrifying. The pacing is a bit uneven, with certain sections dragging and others feeling rushed. However, the film's atmosphere does succeed in creating an unsettling mood, especially in the darker, more supernatural moments.
The performances are passable, with the lead actress capturing the fear and distress of her character. However, the supporting cast doesn't quite match the intensity of the main narrative. Nazar is an average entry in the Üç Harfliler series, offering a few memorable scares but not much more in terms of originality.
