Dabbe 5: Curse of the Jinn

Theme is indeed good and that saves this film to a large extent. Performances are also commendable. If you do not mind time which is extraordinarily stretched and if you are game for gore, go for it.

I saw this movie in the theater with a group of friends. We haven't seen a good scary movie for a long time in Turkish cinemas, but this movie full fill all my expectations.

because,I am not easily freaked out by horror movies, but I really like horror movies based on true stories.

Hasan Karacadag has done a great job in building the tension and suspense slowly and scaring the daylights out of us.

He knows Turkish people's deepest fears and was made to scare the hell out of you!

It has a good plot, characters and an actual storyline (unlike some other movies). very solid script. And This time karacadag keeps the CGI at a minimum. it told a lot of details about,Djinns,dreams,nightmares and religions!

Excellent set design and costumes as well.Sound design and music was OK.I loved how sparingly the music was used.

Definitely worth it if you like good scary movies with not much gratuitous violence.

Anyway good flick and fun to watch.

If you love scary movies based on true stories this one is awesome.

The final twist is mind blowing!

I don't want to say anymore than that in fear I'll spoil it for anyone. Just definitely watch this.

I heard a lot about the Turkish Dabbe franchise and I had nr 5 for years in my to watch list on Netflix and now I finally had the time to take a look at it.

Must say, it wasn't that bad after all. First you have to got used to the way of acting, the Turkish language and of course the Muslim world of belief. And even there we have a Satan and possession and this is what this flick is all about.

Not bad at all, extreme flashy editing. A lot of creepy moments and a good script. Maybe over 2 hours is a bit too long but I never found a dull moment.

For the geeks it's one to discover but be open-minded to the Turkish world.

After all those Paranormal activity movies, finally back to "normal" horror. Though the shrieking (annoying) sounds remain ... not something I really look forward to or enjoy - of course they are not meant to be enjoyed, but you're catching my drift hopefully.

I didn't think too much while I was watching it, but I reckon the twists this has in store are quite predictable. Overall nicely told and a nice pace. With an annoying husband amogst other annoying characters. If you can oversee the flaws, the movie can be entertaining enough to be enjoyed. Simple ending included.

What this film may lack in Hollywood action it makes up for in sheer Turkish focus. A well acted film that is genuinly scarey and well worth a watch. Bit long however...
