Gen

it is of course very nice to see improvements on Turkish movie industry, however, i would have expected something more creative from Togan Gokbakar. starting from the script, which i believe it was not a wise written one as some may think. especially the cheesiness of the dialogs, which were putting the audience in a position that, as if they were not smart enough to understand the situations, which, most of the times makes the movie unbearable. it also has an obvious ending; you can easily guess the murderer from the beginning. the weakest part of the scenario is that the impossibility of seriously mentally ill patients to act like normal people, like professionals right away!!!did they ever search for the possibility of patients who are on heavy medicals, to act like professionals and use all the medical terms that even normal people cannot use?????!!!!!!also in the scene where staff was searching for the most dangerous patient, with out any weapon to protect themselves was another weird point of the film. and that scene was so suitable for "Dikkat Sahan Cikabilir" title!! those are not the only weak parts of the movie. there were also a lot of preciosities in the film. the depiction of the most dangerous patient was an exact copy from Hannibal, also appearance of Togan in the very end is obviously the worst mistake that he could have done in his first movie! the fuss about the greatness of the movie and the interviews that actor's gave just made people to be curious and force them to see it. Gen is a total disappointment. i would have wonder, if Sahan was not this famous, would Togan be able to shoot this movie, with this much of budget amount?? i hope Togan would realize that it is not fashionable to play in a role as a director as he said in an interview. it was Hitchcock who did it wisely and Night Shyamalan continued it successfully! he should be aware of the fact that he is not Hitchcock nor Shyamalan yet!!!!hoping him to be more careful and creative next time in this big industry!

"Gen" (2006) is a Turkish horror film that delves into the psychological and supernatural terrors experienced by a young doctor, Dr. Deniz, as she begins her residency at a remote and eerie psychiatric hospital.

The film effectively builds suspense through a combination of psychological tension, unsettling imagery, and a chilling atmosphere. The isolated setting of the hospital, with its decaying infrastructure and unsettling history, adds to the overall sense of dread. Dr. Deniz's growing paranoia and the increasingly bizarre occurrences within the hospital walls keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

"Gen" explores themes of isolation, madness, and the blurring lines between reality and illusion. The film's ending is ambiguous, leaving viewers to question the nature of Dr. Deniz's experiences and the true extent of the supernatural forces at play.

However, "Gen" may not appeal to viewers seeking graphic horror or jump scares. The film's focus is more on psychological terror and creating a sense of unease. Some viewers may also find the pacing slow at times.

Despite these minor shortcomings, "Gen" is a noteworthy entry in the Turkish horror genre. It effectively delivers a chilling and thought-provoking cinematic experience that will stay with viewers long after the credits roll.

The third bad film of Turkish films What a Pity turkish movie 3

A young ( only 21 ) director with great talent, a powerful scenario, young and ambitious cast with all theatrical background...

One of the first tries of a thriller in Turkish cinema, which seems in the future we'll have some more based on the success...

Shot on high definition video, the movie is perhaps effected on world thrillers, especially the American thrillers. The technical and cinematographic character is quite well done, the scenes are all well worked on. Not too much blood but sufficient enough to make you think you're in a blood bath too...

The scenario is quite wise but with certain clues, a clever audience can easily predict what's going on and at the end when everything settles down you're getting somehow weird to conclude the result.

Well done Tiglon, one of the biggest DVD distributors in Turkey, it is not easy to decide for such a movie in their first try as a production company...

Obviously, there are movies similar to this movie. Doesn't deserve this low rating. An underrated movie. Yes, the movie is not perfect. Also, I think the movie is a thriller, not a horror movie. Acting was not bad, I liked the script. I guessed part of the ending because it was so easy to understand, but the other part I hadn't guessed at all. Overall, it was a movie that I enjoyed watching. Unfortunately, after this movie, they started the "Recep Ivedik" series, of course, whatever is requested is done. I don't think it's a good movie, but it's not bad enough to get 4.3. Also, the editor of the movie, Ilker Canikligil, this was interesting.
