          Pretty Scary: What happened to Ceyda T.?

          I just came from the theaters after seeing 'Dabbe:Bir Cin Vakasi' and I thought that it was really good.It is Compelling and Creepy. we've seen too many found footage horror movies in the past few years.Some of them was good and some was terrible! But This film is an extremely suspenseful demonic story that really takes it up a notch because the "mockumentary" style puts you in the characters' shoes. The movie Allegedly inspired by a true story which occurred in Turkey's Ankara. Real events or not The movie is intelligently done in the fact that it shows you both sides of the story, how it could have been Jinn possession or sleepwalking?

          If you want to feel real scares you have to know something about the Jinns! So,let's talk about Jinn (or Djinn?)...How can I tell the difference between jinn and demons?

          It's often hard to tell the difference, as the jinns are artful at masquerades. Djinns exist in a parallel dimension in the physical world. They are "here" but in a place we can not normally experience. Djinns have their own language, they do speak just like people. Their own language sounds like a mixture of Aramaic languages and ancient tongues from the Middle East, such as Sumerian. They can attack to people,they can make noises, smells, apparition forms, and steal – objects that appear out of nowhere. When they wish to manipulate and control, they are capable of interfering in sleep.

          If you wonder the story just Forget the story; this movie is about the creepy nature of djinns... There is a lot of memorably scary scenes especially in last 5 minutes which gave me chills. The five main actors and child actress do a fine job and the controlled direction is pretty atmospheric too! You can be sure that "Dabbe: Bir Cin vakasi" has enough chilling moments not to be overshadowed by Oren Peli's "Paranormal Activity ". I recommend this movie to anyone who like fake footage movies and who wants a good scare because its pretty up there! The ending is freaky! If you plan on watching the movie make sure your not alone!!!

          Very scary movie recommended

          OMG i thought i'd take my wife to the cinema to watch this cos i heard that it was a pretty good movie, it scared us to bits, you won't be disappointed.

          The story started off slowly but steadily built up to the end. It makes you wonder if this movie will kick off a new generation of hit Turkish scary movies in the coming years by the same director.

          Its by far better than the Paranormal Activity movies that have recently taken the world by storm....... It a shame that this Turkish film will only be screened in some cinemas around the globe.

          This would of been a super hit for the director but only in Turkey.

          Paranormal Turkish Activities

          I did not think of what movies inspired the first two Dabbes - in this case I do not have to think what was the inspiration, it is more than obvious. Paranormal Activity is the "winner". For better or worse as they say - as in if you were really into the style of those other movies (Blair Witch was succesful, but Paranormal took the whole thing to a new level - all sequels included).

          I am not really a fan of the found footage thing, but this is quite solid if you are a fan of it. The jump scares and the sound cues (quite annoying if you ask me, but horror has to be "created") are here to be enjoyed ... the special effects overall are decent too.

          Welcome the world of Djinns

          First of all,Without a doubt,Dabbe Bir cin vakası(Dabbe:A case of Djinn)is the scariest Turkish horror movie so far.I had almost no expectation from the movie I thought this was a cheap Paranormal Activity rip-off,but I have to admit I was too wrong.After a slow start,paranormal things begin to happen a family which resides in their home.Sleep walking and magic and djinn relations indicated by the director quite bizarre.The last ten minutes gave me sleepless nights and bad dreams.

          I don't want to spoil anything but the stories told about the Village Derunce and Baby Djinn extremely creepy.I highly recommend this if you are horror fan.Believe me ıf you see this at night,it will stay you a couple of days

          Scary

          It was interesting at first, but then she got tired of it, always the same subject, always the same concept.
