Turkish
television screenwriter/director Alper Mestçi took the plunge
into motion pictures with this project and (along with his future SICCIN
series) he changed Turkish cinema forever. This International blockbuster
hit is a scary, gory Islamic spin on the Exorcism motif. A worker named
Suat reluctantly leaves his new bride to make some money in Berlin with
his childhood friend Metin. However, in Germany, he is plagued with
dark visions and is driven to an attempted suicide. Suat returns to
Turkey where he finds his wife is being tormented by supernatural creatures
and he seeks the aid of a spiritual healer.

This
one is a stand-alone sequel that more closely reflects the director's
later work. It tells the story of Elif, a young woman with wealthy parents
and a comfortable existence. She has become an art teacher without needing
to exert much effort. But, lately, Elif isn't doing so well. She is
tormented by nightmares and constantly hears voices during the day.
At first, she can't imagine what's causing these problems, then Elif
begins to think it may all stem from an old curse. She starts to explore
her past. But she should not have done that....
