Sijjin 2

"Siccin 2" conjures another eerie chapter with a 6/10 rating from me, and I must admit, I found it strangely captivating. The acting maintains a consistent level of intensity, immersing us in the unfolding supernatural horrors. The film editing maintains a sense of suspense throughout, though it occasionally feels sluggish. The film's strength lies in its deep exploration of Turkish folklore and its ability to sustain an atmosphere of dread. The music adds to the film's unsettling ambiance, while the cinematography captures the darkness lurking within everyday settings. "Siccin 2" continues to delve into the unsettling and reinforces the message that meddling with the supernatural carries dire consequences, even if it occasionally stumbles on its own supernatural journey. For those who enjoy a dose of supernatural chills, it's a worthy watch.

While trying to keep her life together, a mother's grief over the unexpected death of her son is soon enhanced when a series of visions and hallucinations points to a devastating curse being enacted on the family for a past ritual that was performed and must find a way to stop it from consuming her.

Overall, there's a lot of fun to be had with this one. Among the better elements at play here comes from the stellar setup which is a highly immersive aspect utilized here. That this opts for a devastating and genuinely heartbreaking family tragedy at the centerpiece of the story involving the son's death in front of her and the reaction this causes from both of them involves a lot to like. Going from her understandable grief and mourning over the accident while he spouts off claims of negligent parenting to allow it to happen, the starting point at play operates quite well at providing the framework of the stellar supernatural action to come. That supernatural action is, indeed, one of the best parts of the film. The visions and hallucinations of the demonic women appearing to her and offering up incredible vivid recreations of the incident or showcasing a horrifying birth sequence of a bloody baby being removed from the body offer several outstanding scenes that allow for an easy explanation of the curse being afflicted. That these demonic beings are a prominent aspect of the film going forward, either appearing as influencing the action of what's happening or ensuring the secret family curse stays buried which helps to make their presence chilling as much as the suddenness of their visit. As well, the last half hour here plays with a slew of spectacular and outright chilling scenes that come off incredibly well. From torturing the husband to the breaking point, the interactions within the haunted house and the confrontation in the mother's room feature some fantastic ghostly encounters and hard-hitting situations that all lead incredibly well into the finale. This features an incredibly dark series of revelations and secret bombshells about the nature of the family curse coming to life while also generating some fun action involving the highly enjoyable series of encounters trying to stop the curse. Combined, these all come together for a lot to like here. There are some small factors involved here to bring this down. One of the biggest issues here is the somewhat unnecessary behavior of the husband who saps at her unreasonably for what happened to the son. By being unlikable and completely unrealistic in his reaction to her behavior, this makes for an unsympathetic figure that doesn't serve our respect and makes for a rather tough beginning to this one. Also, there's a highly-rushed feeling in the finale where it finally reveals the big family secret only to end shortly afterward as if that was the sole purpose rather than doing anything about it which can be slightly jarring and is what holds it back.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Language.

I've watched most of Hollywood horror movies (The good ones actually) , Asian horrors and some Turkish Horror. I'd like to say I still think of a scene I've seen in this movie and scare myself by the thought of it at nights, the one where those three women in chador walk around in her house after killing her son. Oh I was very touched by this movie. I loved it and I guess some people who have some bad mentality about such cultures would have. Anyways, middle eastern would like it probably cuz its all about those dark vibes about superstitions and jinn.

It's a brilliant movie with mind blowing special effects , sound and music.

Very imaginative and alot better than all the Hollywood predictable horrible horror movies.

This movie is far more than just a ghost story actually. There is absolutely nothing negative I can say about this film. It really is one of the best horror films ever made. And the cupboard scene is amazing!!!

One of the horror at its best..use ur headphone or home theatre at night to watch ..u will be scared for sure
