    THIS IS REAL HORROR.

    Oh man! 120 minutes of most terrifying movie experience. Definitely the scariest Turkish horror I've ever seen in ages, and I'm hard to please when it comes to scary films, it's clever, chilling, and very jumpy indeed. Go and watch it, just sleep with the lights on. THIS IS REAL HORROR.

    Successful experience with different metaphors.

    I've been watching Mr. Hasan Karacadag's horror movies since the "d@bbe" movie has been made in 2005. Due to its story, the movie was seemed to be the pioneer of a very different sort of horror in Turkey. The most effective fact in that is the influences of Karacadag movies in usual. The classic and usual horror movie sense in the world was like what Hollywood used so far. But with his own created view and his own assertions about doomsday, Karacadag has made an influential change about horror movie clichés.

    That's what Hasan Karacadag's whole movies' main themes are about. He urges so odd arguments about Islamic metaphysical stuffs and his genuine theories about the omens of doomsday in Islam religion become very controversial claims every time he makes a new movie. His theory about the "dabbe" notion which's mostly used in his movies triggered so many discussions related to Islamic metaphysical assets mentioned in Quran. Due to the meaning of "dabbe" word he correlates the "dabbe" with the internet we always use in our lives (dabbe means something is spread around the world) because the world wide web and the dabbe both have the same function. This argument of the director has been used in almost every movies of him.

    Like previous movies, the movie "Dabbe: Cin Çarpması" is also telling about Karacadag's metaphysical inquiry results. You'll be hearing of some things related to doomsday, jinns, devil etc. which you've never heard before. Like other movies of the director, this movie also will add a very different point of view to your mind about your metaphysical senses you used to have beside its thrilling side.

    Deeply disturbing and Spine-chilling Horror! Beware!

    Packing 4 times the punch, this movie is a revelation in the Genre.

    120 minutes of most terrifying movie experience. Having seen 3 Dabbe movies, I thought I could manage watching this latest addition but I was wrong.

    The world has taken note of Hasan's work and he is all set to make his mark in Hollywood. I love his style of film-making. He has proved in each of his movies that an excellent movie can be made out of a small budget, hand-held camera work could be as good as the others, good actors, script and direction are enough to make a good movie, and that there is so much to be explored in the Genre.

    I wonder how he is able to sleep at nights. After watching Dabbe 4, I couldn't sleep for two weeks, whatever little sleep I could muster was filled with the most horrific nightmares(I am not sure if all of them are nightmares). I had to throw the "Evil Eye" charm (one of em was hung in the living room by my Aunt and she had received it as a gift from a friend who happens to live in Istanbul::how creepy is that!). I was scared to look in the mirror, scared of shadows and the darkness. I had to be counseled by a friend so that I could snap out of my fright and be normal.

    Dabbe 3 and 4 are based on actual events. And the sounds of the Jinns we hear in the movie were retrieved from the original case files of the events. 7 out of 8 movies that he made are in the Horror Genre. I wonder whether he could sleep at all. And the kind of information he has about the world of the Devil and the Jinns is shockingly precise and intricate.

    Dabbe 3 and 4 are the best Horror movies I've ever seen. I guess, only Hasan could best this record and I hope he makes more of them.

    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 👍

    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!
