What is your expectation from a horror movie? Fear to death? Then you'll get it!

Most of the time, I have prejudice on Turkish horror films because of my previous experiences. But this movie proved that Turkey may have potential to produce high quality films in future.

First all, effects was above average and slow motion scenes was promising. Also I liked the performances of main characters. Especially Muslim preacher was perfect in terms of stressing the powerful Islamic words and spiritualism.

As it has good aspects, there were some clichés that drops overall scoring. Without them, the movie would be more unique.

Considering that Turkish movies came this point from funny horror movies, It is kind of a revolutionary film that worth seeing!
