Dabbe

Dabbe is the best Turkish horror film ever.Most of people thinks that the film is very bad.But i don't think like them.There are some reasons.

First this film is first cinema experience for the director.He is trying to do something.And i think he is very good for the first time.He covers the films expense.They have too much impossibilities but they were made it.Everybody knows that the Turkish horror film sector is very bad.But this film is different to them.Its effects are too realistic against the others.And its theme is not used before.It uses the Islamic belief.Dabbe will come the world at the doomsday.This film trying to uses it.After that too many people gone this film.But they have too much prejudice.That gives negative energy to the film.

There are bad things in film.First is the players.They are really bad.The second one is dialogs.it may be better.

Finally; this film isn't a classic.it is not perfect.But it was tried.And i think its successful.

Dabbe is truly a great Turkish horror film. As good as Hollywood-horror-flicks, even better. A f******-freaky Turkish horror film ! This film gave me a f****** fright. It truly scares your **** off, no doubt about it. I don't know what other people are talking about when they say it was stupid or bad or have other negative things to say...It is definitely not a sloppy piece of work and I think it served it's purpose very well.

This is a Turkish horror flick my brother persuaded me to check it out. I had and still have pure prejudice to Turkish films. I am biased when it comes to Turkish movies. And my brother was recommending " a horror film" ! A Turkish horror !!! We Turks can't even shoot a proper thriller let alone a horror. Well after a lot of persuasion I agreed to watch Dabbe with him.In the end I was fascinated by this film, actually I was scared stiff to tell you the truth.

Dabbe scared the sh** out of me like no other horror flick in the last years. Gives me goosebumps even when I write the name of the film. You should look at my arms, just thinking about the film has just given me the gooses. Absolutely hair-raising and freaking film. This is freaky I'm telling you that mates. It is so freaky. One of the freakiest I've ever seen.

I went to a DVDshop the next day to get this film. I was glad to see that this DVD also featured English subtitles, so I can show it to others as well. If you can order please do feel generous and get this film. It's truly great. I can guarantee that this horror film is going to make the hairs on your neck stand on end.

Visual effects as well as the well-thought story is pretty satisfying. There are tons of spooky moments, freaky voices and lots of jumpy scenes. The creepy voices and terrifying screams are perfectly done and make your hair stand on end. The only drawback and bad side of this flick is that the actors' weak performances. The acting was unfortunately not as good as the film in my humble opinion. However, it's worth watching. Perhaps it won't be the scariest horror film of all time for some of you but it will definitely make you shiver.

So, if you fancy demons, gins (djin), beings beyond comprehension, spiritual substances/beings, mental and psychological type of horror films this one's just for you then. Don't miss it out.

The story of the movie is real great. There are couple of other movies like this one(Büyü). The real freaky thing about it is that at the gala of Büyü the movie theater burnt down, a lot of things went wrong during the filming. And at the filming of this movie(Dabbe), according to director and cast, there where couple of shapes flashing in the pictures. And the director got really scary nightmares where he got warned.

This doesn't surprise me, the movies tell's us about beings that are mentioned in the Quran.

Have fun watching it.

Actually I was surprised when I read the other comments. Everybody is concerning about bad script, bad actors, disturbing effects etc. But i have found "388@0" successful. It has a script that fits to "Kairo"-"Pulse". But more than that, it has some cultural components as "djins". They are evil spirits that they can not effect human life directly. But Turkish culture has a lot of stories about djin attacks to human life. The name of the film "DaBBE" refers to "dabbet-ul arz" of the Islam. "Dabbet-ul arz" is Arabic and means "the one that walks on earth". It is mentioned in the Qoran (the holy book of Muslims). It will come to earth as one of the last signs of the Armageddon. And it will tell everybody that who will go to heaven or hell. Because of containing cultural scary myths, "DABBE" has a psychological element to scare audience. That is why it is successful. It takes a original script and adapts it to the cultural myths. So you are not scared of audio/visual effects but deep in your brain, the script makes you scared. But, yes actors and actress are so bad. One more thing to mention. The characters have some e-mails or phone calls after the first death. The subject of the e-mails and the phone number of the dialer is shown as "388@0". When you look this in the mirror. You see "0@88E" = "D@BBE"

I want to tell you so much, but the less you know the better. Just put it on and enjoy the well everything what is happening and will happen. And on the moment it can't get more weird, I just want to be there with a told you so. Dabbe has more than 1 movie (I find first best, but also look the others and the series.) The others are different, not bad so you get not bored. Enjoy.
