In my opinion, Siccin 4 is the best film in the series in terms of cinematography. The shots are very successful, the colors are perfect, and the editing is excellent. The atmosphere of the house used in the film is so well done that it immediately sets the mood. Even the terrifying creatures appearing in the intense scenes are extremely well executed. There is a scene we also saw in the trailer where a scary figure suddenly appears behind Merve Ates as she screams with her back turned. Honestly, this scene alone makes the film worth watching. The shot is so well planned - these are exactly the kinds of shots we want to see. It looks professional and high quality. It has been promoted as the scariest film in the series.
This is no lie. The film truly has the potential to be the scariest in the series. The timing of the jump scares was very well done, placed in spots that make the audience jump out of their seats. The choice of locations was spot-on, creating a strong sense of suspense. The props, jinn visuals, and the overall atmosphere show that the art department did an excellent job. The cinematographer fully deserves credit.
With this film, the Siccin series also takes a turn. The character Orhan brings a completely new style to the series. I think it was the right choice. The strong religious themes pull the audience deeper into the film. The messages given were meaningful. The biggest factor that sets this series apart from other horror films is its correct use of religious elements. The film ends with a powerful message. While this happens, the end credits roll, and here we see another level of craftsmanship. The music by Resit Gozdamla is once again a pleasure to listen to. Starting from a divine melody, a film score was created. Perhaps the best decision for this film was to have this man compose the music. Keeping the audience watching the end credits until the very last second is also, in my opinion, a separate success.
The only thing I haven't mentioned yet is the script. In my opinion, it was not particularly strong. Maybe I overlooked it because I focused on other aspects. However, I must clearly state that Siccin 4 offers a true visual feast. It is a must-watch in the Turkish horror genre.
