Musallat

The movie opens with an interesting scene that gets you hooked. Then it moves to Germany. I do not speak Turkish so I cannot tell the difference. The only weakness of this movie if there is one, would be the scenes in Germany. But it does not bother me too much because the story keeps you on your toes. It is riveting. It has some brilliant camera work as the movie gets darker and creepier. At times, it feels like a story from "twilight zone". At other times, I see glimpses of one the great all-time horror favourites "The Exorcist". All in all, it has good special effects and a good climax, all for $1 million? Great work! I found my new hero! This is one director/writer/editor to watch out for. More please!!

I don't understand the point of the antagonistic comments of people. There are not hundreds of examples, you can find less than a dozen of Turkish horror movies in the Turkish movie history. Most of them are bad experiments, have stolen ideas, include a bunch of clichés. Honestly, young Turkish directors just about to START and experience this genre. Musallat could not became a Hollywood level experience with its humble budget and "non horror experienced" technical crew. But it has the most original story ever based on the myths of Turkish culture. And its the only honest and hard-working effort to make an original Turkish horror movie, not Hollywood, j-horror or Korean imitation. The comments from professional critics and writers in the local media is very positive and neutral. The movie definitely helps to progressing of horror movies in Turkey with its unique storytelling, although some people don't want to see that. If you looking for a Hollywood or far Asian style horror film, Musallat could still be an interesting experience. Though if you are looking for an original piece on new Turkish horror genre, Musallat is definitely the one.

Some kiddies who are lack of cinema culture can't review this masterpiece that harshly because this movie is superior to not only American horror films but also Japan and Korean films.Surely,An American film company is going to buy script to adapt it to USA.forget all you have seen so far,because this is film is completely a new experience,a fresh breath from Magnificent Turkish cinema industry,a unique contribution to horror genre.I am pretty sure those criticizers typed their merciless reviews in fear and deep horror owing to the deep effect of the movie.I give it 10 out of 10.After seeing this film,you can't stop looking back over your shoulder or at dark corners.

I think this is the best Turkish horror movie i have ever seen.I really congratulate the producer "Alper Mestçi" for this movie.With this budget i think he has done the best he can.The actors were pretty good and the effects weren't exaggerated.Especially the leading actor "Burak Özçivit" was perfect. I think he processed the theme perfect.We have seen lots of Turkish horror movies to be seen to have fun;after all these it is unbelievable for me to see such a movie. I recommend everyone seeing this movie and i am sure that i will go to Alper Mestçi's first movie without hesitating just to contribute his work,because he really deserved this with this movie

In film business, everybody knows how hard it is to put the film in the can and deliver good results. After reading these harsh reviews, I looked to the other cinema review websites in Turkey if other users think the same way. To my surprise, I found the exact reviews in Turkish word by word. This shows, the reviews of these films are so far written not because the film is bad but some people want to bash it for a reason.

Lastly, the film has a budget of 1 million dollars. For Hollywood, it is a joke to shoot a film that is decent for that price. I think in some parts, it is doing a good job. I give 6 out of 10.
