Overkill
gizem_dundar19 May 2020
Final twist was a bit forced to be honest, felt like an overkill. Other than that, it's watchable.

Started well

The movie starts very well. But it can not achieve the same success until the end. Especially they talk nonsense out in the final to burn the house. Especially they talk nonsense out in the final to burn the house. The man with an ax on his stomach, the stabbed woman are walking out of the house. What is the need? Why are you walking? Just call the ambulance.

I liked the last 30 minutes
mehtap_neside17 May 2020
Warning: Spoilers
It was a very promising movie. I was actually hating while watching till the last 20-30 minutes. Because I have sickened this dark green light, suddenly closed doors and scratch sounds. I hated movie because of these. But i don't know these were supposed to happen that way because that was all delusions. There were some clues in the movie about ending. Melisa senolsun as old headed naive girl wasn't really a convincing acting. And when hilal was murdered by nisan, özgür was really cold-blooded. I was thinking this was all bad acting but plot twist turned out well. I only liked the ending. I don't know özgür and hilal's bad acting done by purpose( i think it shouldn't happening). These were the things that i didn't liked in the movie. But i liked the plot twist because it was really promising for a Turkish movie. Was not original i agree , but it was pretty promising and good development. But movie should really work on with atmosphere. We should get rid of it that old headed, cliche horror scenes.

The New Perspective in Turkish Horror Movies
yusufozben29 May 2020
It is a unique type of horror/thriller type of movie that not includes religious base elements in the Turkish Film Industry. The movie is not perfect but its difference between Turkish horror/thriller movies and it makes me happy and increases my point.

It is obvious that the acting skill of Burçin Terzioglu is excellent and it is the best thing in the movie. Other actors have also good acting scenes but overall they can not be compared with Burçin Terzioglu.

Some disconnections in the screenplay decrease my appreciation at the end of the movie. I think also the polices' (Serkan Keskin) attitudes and decisions are generally incompatible.

Overall the movie is not perfect when compared with global horror/thriller type productions but if you like horror/thriller type of movies and you want to watch Turkish movie, it is a good option for you.

Thriller, Drama
cbdurukan18 May 2020
I just watched it and in my opinion it's not a horror movie. I'm Turkish and still living in Turkey but I hate all Turkish horror movies actually. Soms of my friends suggested me this movie and they said that its not like a Turkish horror movie. That's why I watched this film. They were right it's not like general Turkish horror movies but on the other side it's like american thriller movies but there were a lot of bad things like effects and acting (just for some scenes)

There is no problem other than being a Turkish film.
Amarcord0617 December 2019
Hollywood has made many of the same films. Technically, the movie is good. But it can't be convincing when it's a Turkish movie.

Close to perfect
sumeyraagac16 May 2020
I watched this film and finished 5 minutes ago. It was very good above and belove. When i look other Turkish mistery films it was quite similar with each other but this film is different from the others. I have 9/10 because sometimes it made me feel like i watch the Shining movie. But totally it has really good scenerio, acting and visuality and I can only say that about the film: IT IS NOT LIKE YOU THINK, just wait until the end :)

A very well designated Turkish Horror film
ergunbul18 December 2019
Was very similar to typical big old house American horror movies but in many ways , was much betterü, the acting, the story, the surprises etc. Especially Burçin Terzioglu as Nisan was great. I recommend.

The only best turkish horror movie
kuebratuerk17 May 2020
There was a common thread. No unnecessary subplots. The acting was very good, especially from Burcin terzioglu. Better than the other turkish horror movies with demons or something like that...

I forgot this was a Turkish movie
hosnazt16 May 2020
While watching this film sometimes I forgot this was a Turkish movie. It is one of the best Turkish thrillers. Ofc, there are flaws.. we want to see more films like this one.

Works For Me
Foutainoflife27 February 2021
After his death, a woman reluctantly returns to her home to settle her eccentric father's estate. Admired for his striking artwork, the father's dark and questionable methodology left his daughter damaged. Unable to quickly expedite the closing of his estate, she, along with her husband and daughter, are forced to stay in his eerie sprawling home and she slowly begins to succumb to the psychological affects the house, haunting memories and his artwork has on her.

I've not watched a lot of Turkish horror/thrillers so I do not have much to compare it to in that regard. However, I thoroughly enjoyed this. A solid thriller, this has rich dark undertones and supernatural elements that left me feeling as if, at times, I was watching "The Shinning."

My only complaint is that it did feel a bit long and there were a few things that could've simply been left out. The acting is absolutely great and the story was captivating though and totally makes up for any downside.

I am completely comfortable recommending this film for folks looking for a good thriller.

Gave a hope about Turkish horror movies
hasretsengultaskin24 May 2020
I was thinking this movie will be related about religious stuff but definetly I got surprised. It was out of bounds of Turkish movies. I'm glad finally there is a new perspective to definition of horror. It would be an great movie if graphics are good. My suggestion is don't concrete on visualization, just focus to acting and the topic.

Best Turkish Horror/Thriller Movie I have ever seen
Berat-Ustunsoy26 May 2020
When movie starts, if you dont know movie's name or where the movie was record, it seems like a foreign movie like American or European horror movie. Its what i mostly liked feature of movie. It contains plot twists and it surprises you so it doesnt has straightforward scenerio and its the second feature which i liked. It definitely deserves being watched. And of course it has not contain religious materials; on the contrary to almost all Turkish Horror movies are so.

The best Turkish Horor Movie Ever
It's probably the only Turkish horror movie I've ever seen. Luckily, I opened with such a beautiful film. Some horror movies are stale like cake. These films fail to scare you, and with their extremely violent scenes, it disrupts the psychology of the viewer. Some horror movies are delicious, like chocolate cake. For example, ring is such a production for me. This movie is like a lemon pie. It doesn't bother you with scenes of violence, it manages to scare you, it doesn't bother you. Recommend

An amazing evolution for the turkish horror industry
seletyaprak2 July 2020
I just started to watch it without any expactations, it was just a random selection in my netflix account... It turned to a jumpscare movie with realy good actors as well as a lot of suprises. The story is very untypical for turkish horror movies and that's what make it more interesting. In general the most turkish horror movies are deeply connected with religion, some curse and there are always a lot of disgusting pictures in your head, sometimes I can't even watch a trailer...

Good Job Burcin Terzioglu and all who were in charge, it is a stunning story!
