What a waste of my time!!!

An action-packed slog

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

First of all,Without a doubt,Dabbe Bir cin vakası(Dabbe:A case of Djinn)is the scariest Turkish horror movie so far.I had almost no expectation from the movie I thought this was a cheap Paranormal Activity rip-off,but I have to admit I was too wrong.After a slow start,paranormal things begin to happen a family which resides in their home.Sleep walking and magic and djinn relations indicated by the director quite bizarre.The last ten minutes gave me sleepless nights and bad dreams.I don't want to spoil anything but the stories told about the Village Derunce and Baby Djinn extremely creepy.I highly recommend this if you are horror fan.Believe me ıf you see this at night,it will stay you a couple of days

Rarely , a sequel would outshine the original and Dabbe 3 is a fine example of that.Much of the story and the surprises wouldn't be a surprise at all because the Audience would have a fair idea and knowledge to predict the plot and premise of the movie.The Grudge, SAW, The Ring, Insidious and Paranormal Activity are examples. What if Paranormal Activity 2 or 3 had been the first movie of the series? Well, Hasan overcomes this pretty huge shortcoming and strikes with a bang with this 3rd movie.And the fact that it is based on an actual event just freaked me out. My exposure to this dark world has grown since Dabbe 1.Though a fan of the genre, who enjoys a good fright and watches lot of horror movies, I was squirming in terror throughout. I even yelped in fear.It is a taut, horrifying and a SOLID horror movie. One of my all-time favorites. I watched it again over last weekend. I had to stop midway and watch the rest on the next day since I was terrified.A must-watch if you are a fan of the Genre; It will be in your top 10 list!

This is a movie in the "found footage" sub-genre of horror or "hand camera" sub-genre horror. Whatever you're more familiar with.Anyhow, this is about a young family living in rural Turkey. The Husband starts to document his Wife who has begun sleep walking. They decided to do this because it was dangerous for her and she didn't want to go be hospitalized to be examined for it. The periods in which they occur become more strange as the movie progresses as they involve spiritual healers and other seers to try and resolve the problem.For the sub-genre I was definitely very scared at parts. I like that it worked on creating a tense and scary atmosphere instead of solely jump scenes. I've seen my fair share of the sub-genre from movies like Rec, Noroi, Evidence, etc. This movie you can tell was very influenced by the Paranormal Activity movies but it adds some originality from its influence as well as style. However the setting and tone seems much more darker then those ones and more cultured and less American. Which work in its favour and also slightly against its favour too.The acting was great, no characters were annoying, perhaps a bit too much emphasis on the screaming at parts but what horror movie doesn't have that? The effects at some parts weren't as sharp as other found footage movies. However they were still above average for this genre as I've seen some TERRIBLE found footage movies with BAD special effects and for what this had sure it could have been better but it still wasn't that bad. It was its weakest point though.The story while not groundbreaking had enough substance to keep me interested throughout the whole movie and not make me lose focus for the most part. The plot could have developed a bit more faster in the beginning but it was still done with enough pace that it didn't bother me too much. I actually really enjoyed the props and occult props and story ideas that were implementedIn short: If you use the correct formula with lights out, loud noise, big TV you'll be scared for sure and have a good time with this one. Just don't sabotage it by watching it in the day though.

This is the real deal for 'found footage' horror fans. I know that,Horror films are something you really have to want to enjoy and yes This film really scared me!I went to the theater this weekend and saw it. I must say it is a great Turkish horror movie. The terror starts slow, develops the characters well, and progressively gets more suspenseful until it ends with it's shocking finale. Shortly the story is about a night invisible djinn(demon)stalker and a married sleepwalker woman,her husband,her daughter! Paranormal Activity clearly inspired this film,But dabbe:Bir Cin vakasi is easily 10 times more frightening than paranormal activity! As the same style;The entire thing is shot with a home video camera and some fixed security home cameras! The first question from the movie is;'Why djinns(demons) stalk people,and What is their reason of suddenly start to stalking an innocent woman? Then The movie ask another question to the audiences ;'Is Sleep walking a medical problem or its about djinns...?'Did you ever Wonder what Happens While You Sleep.....? Think about that;'Are Djinn vulnerable to magic?' Forget the movies that you had seen before like Wishmaster series or Alaaddin about djinns! The popular myth of the Djinn in the bottle is far removed from that of a Djinn and is only popularized in such a fashion by Hollywood and fantasy gamers. Djinns were usually created as malevolent in nature! Real Djinns are Real terror!''expect my visit when the darkness comes.The night I think is best for hiding all!''Th editing is very interesting you can feel the terror and You know the evil is there but you don't see it, just like normal real life haunting is usually.And the The ending....woo-ow...The ending is really scary as hell,brilliant and perfect.of course I won't spoil the ending, I will just say it was the best part of the whole film!I recommend this movie but keep sensitive children away. I think it will definitely bring about nightmares. If you are a horror fan and looking for a real terror then watch this film alone in the night in your room and Open the gates to the world of the Djinn.You will feel the Djinns presence in the room with you...!Recommended.
