Dabbe: Cine Carpmasi

Written and directed by Hasan Karacadag, the film is about a doctor and an exorcist who are called out to the home of a seemingly possessed woman who had killed her husband on their wedding day a couple of years earlier, and who has been possessed since.

The doctor believes that the woman has a personality disorder and of course the spiritualist believes she is possessed. This almost plays out like a Scully/Mulder X-Files scenario and is fun to watch.

The film is a little long at 2 hours 14 minutes but it gets really intense near the middle and end and is a lot of fun. Karacadag has upped the scare factor from his 2012 entry, "Dabbe: Bir cin vakasi", also about vengeful genies. He knows how to use the camcorder and lighting to maximum effect and when watching his movies you just know that when it gets dark, something scary is going to happen.

All in all a must-watch for horror and found footage fans, as well as anyone who was disappointed by "Paranormal Activity" and its sequels.

I always looked with a hint of prejudice at the Turkish horror genre as they are cheap and boring with the old tricks but this one changed my mind. It actually has a based plot and the acting is over the mediocre. Seems like a background check is done about the topics portrayed in the movie.

If you wanna send a chill down your spine in a dark summer night with the extraterrestrial beings in a remote village with the possessed people, here's your pick!

What a terrifying,spine chilling movie, in my lifetime I have seen so many horror movies but dabbe 4 is by far the scariest one, I will never forget those moments of true genuine terror. Don't watch it alone 👍

Packing 4 times the punch, this movie is a revelation in the Genre.

120 minutes of most terrifying movie experience. Having seen 3 Dabbe movies, I thought I could manage watching this latest addition but I was wrong.

The world has taken note of Hasan's work and he is all set to make his mark in Hollywood. I love his style of film-making. He has proved in each of his movies that an excellent movie can be made out of a small budget, hand-held camera work could be as good as the others, good actors, script and direction are enough to make a good movie, and that there is so much to be explored in the Genre.

I wonder how he is able to sleep at nights. After watching Dabbe 4, I couldn't sleep for two weeks, whatever little sleep I could muster was filled with the most horrific nightmares(I am not sure if all of them are nightmares). I had to throw the "Evil Eye" charm (one of em was hung in the living room by my Aunt and she had received it as a gift from a friend who happens to live in Istanbul::how creepy is that!). I was scared to look in the mirror, scared of shadows and the darkness. I had to be counseled by a friend so that I could snap out of my fright and be normal.

Dabbe 3 and 4 are based on actual events. And the sounds of the Jinns we hear in the movie were retrieved from the original case files of the events. 7 out of 8 movies that he made are in the Horror Genre. I wonder whether he could sleep at all. And the kind of information he has about the world of the Devil and the Jinns is shockingly precise and intricate.

Dabbe 3 and 4 are the best Horror movies I've ever seen. I guess, only Hasan could best this record and I hope he makes more of them.

Oh man! 120 minutes of most terrifying movie experience. Definitely the scariest Turkish horror I've ever seen in ages, and I'm hard to please when it comes to scary films, it's clever, chilling, and very jumpy indeed. Go and watch it, just sleep with the lights on. THIS IS REAL HORROR.
