Turkish
Cinema has not been taken seriously by movie-goers for many years. Of
course, genre fans have embraced movies like 3
DEV ADAM,SEYTENand THE
(TURKISH) SUPERMAN for their quirkiness, but the words 'See
This Scary Movie' is NOT the opening line
for a Turkish Horror film review. That is, until now. Director Alper
Mestçi has turned Turkish Cinema on its head by helming this
slick, accomplished and [yes] scary horror movie that has been called
"as important as the original Exorcist."
Movies with extensive gore and sleaze are not particularly unusual in
Turkish Cinema (see HORRIBLE
MURDERS, LAST
HOUSE IN ISTANBUL and SEX
AND KILLING) but to see those elements outside of the 'B-Film'
structure is quite unique. Here is the story of Öznur, a young
woman who uses black magic to convince her married cousin to fall in
love with her. But, she is not prepared for the evil unleashed by the
spell. In the sequel, the marriage of Adnan and Hicran is destroyed
by the deadly Sicca Syndrome after the agonizing death of one of their
children.
Both complete films are included in this Double Feature package with
English subtitles.
