    It is "absolutely a goal" this time ;)

    I did watch all the dabbe movies but this one got me, finally... The first movies were "terrible" for a horror-thriller fan like me but this final one is totally different. Its like the director got out of his cocoon and finalized his evolution as a beautiful and colorful butterfly, only hope is that it won't last for some short time but we will see better and better jobs of Mr. Hasan. He shall be proud of himself and his crew (they totally deserve the applause). I am sure he slowly started to have his own fan-club. Regarding to the movie; I don't want to write any spoiler. If u like gin/goblin stuff with some black magic and metaphysic melted in the same pod with some paranormal activity/blair witch similarities including a shocking ending, you have to give a chance and watch this one. I watched it 3 hours ago and I still feel the hitting effect of the movie inside me. 4 girls sitting in front line of me did leave the theater seeming so scared (2 were crying with flooding tears out of their eyes) in the first 60 minutes. Then they had some followers saying "this movie is bad for our psychology, i won't be able to sleep alone for a long time etc etc..." So, if someone says "this movie is a crap, director has no idea what a horror movie is, bla bla bla" (cause I read such reviews in some TR sites) I have two words for them...

    One of the best!

    Frankly speaking it's my first ever Turkish movie and oh man!!! what a movie. superb plot,incredible acting and the places looks horrific. Last year's the conjuring was the best horror movie for me till date. But this movie is definitely will be on my top 5 best horror movies ever. Based on a Muslim country and all the elements are based on Islam. As a Muslim i liked it most. Many of the things seemed pretty much like original. And that's what i seek from a horror movie. The camera work is like the paranormal activity series. Thus the movie got better then the static cam work. unlike paranormal activity series it's not boring. Gonna give viewers shocks time to time. A must watch for the horror lovers.

    The scariest ever

    What a terrifying,spine chilling movie, in my lifetime I have seen so many horror movies but dabbe 4 is by far the scariest one, I will never forget those moments of true genuine terror. Don't watch it alone 👍

    Hasan Karacadag continues his tradition of scary found footage

    Written and directed by Hasan Karacadag, the film is about a doctor and an exorcist who are called out to the home of a seemingly possessed woman who had killed her husband on their wedding day a couple of years earlier, and who has been possessed since.

    The doctor believes that the woman has a personality disorder and of course the spiritualist believes she is possessed. This almost plays out like a Scully/Mulder X-Files scenario and is fun to watch.

    The film is a little long at 2 hours 14 minutes but it gets really intense near the middle and end and is a lot of fun. Karacadag has upped the scare factor from his 2012 entry, "Dabbe: Bir cin vakasi", also about vengeful genies. He knows how to use the camcorder and lighting to maximum effect and when watching his movies you just know that when it gets dark, something scary is going to happen.

    All in all a must-watch for horror and found footage fans, as well as anyone who was disappointed by "Paranormal Activity" and its sequels.

    Totally changed my mind

    I always looked with a hint of prejudice at the Turkish horror genre as they are cheap and boring with the old tricks but this one changed my mind. It actually has a based plot and the acting is over the mediocre. Seems like a background check is done about the topics portrayed in the movie.

    If you wanna send a chill down your spine in a dark summer night with the extraterrestrial beings in a remote village with the possessed people, here's your pick!
