Indeed I don't like horror movies much more; but Semum is really different. The first movie of the director (Hasan Karacadağ), D@abbe, was one of the best examples of Turkish horror movies based on Islamic inspirations. I think this one is beyond that in any terms: scenario, special effects, actors etc. And I think the most important significance of this movie lies behind its right and careful stresses on the Islamic understandings of the fight between human and evil. It is because Semum is a kind of evil created from smoke in hell; and this creature can capture a human. This story may seem a little bit "interesting" for some; yet remember that the scenario is totally based on a true story. One more word: All the people from different parts of Turkey subjected to be captured by Semum portrait it almost the same! Must see this movie!
