Most people would argue that Turkish Horror is depending far too much on local and national values that is restricted with conservative point of view. Thus, would appear silly and goofy to any who is not familiar with the notions. However when done correctly (and densely I might say) it is surely effective.
And with Alper Mestçi it is mostly the case. He has shown promise with his first film "Musallat" and he is getting better and better with each movie. Siccin 5 is a movie that is lacking on character build. The motivations are blurry or almost non-sensical, however the machinations of the jump scares, the moody atmosphere certainly makes up for this.
The little girl, dream sequences, scary faces popping out left and right might feel like all of this is only done for the sake of horror and not telling a completely coherent story. That is my only beef with this flick. As I have said this is a director always going on the right path, improving himself. But still there is room for improvement on the story telling part. The characters does not appear real, their interactions with the real world is not there. You cannot see the distinction of what is happening on the screen and what is happening in their daily life. So you cannot entirely emphasize the dread they are feeling, you cannot put yourself in their shoes.
As I've said give it a chance, at the very least you will find it different and intriguing.
