Shahsiyet (2018)
One of the best crime stories! (the best in Turkey)
Even when you read the topic that can fit into one sentence, you wonder, "How can someone with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's hunt down criminals?". If you are someone who cares about realism like me, you may have a concern and say "I hope they won't turn someone who should be demented into a superhero."
Now the spoiler part: They didn't. It was very well explained, all events took place logically and the mystery of the incident remained hidden until the last moment. They did a really good job! The plot did not disappoint me at all.
I was unhopeful of the possibility of things like; the way the killer is murdering being stupid and unoriginal, the-where it came from is unclear-clues, the speed of the detectives solving the incident, the killer being too obvious, the killer being too irresistible, the killer's motive being absurd, and maybe the plot crumbling towards the end. Yet, none of them happened and it was really the opposite...
I just don't like the fact that all the female characters in the series were wounded, broken and vulnerable. I expected a strong and self-complete woman mentor. For example Nevra's mother Nesrin was poor in character and acting of it was worse (even if Müjde Ar is one of the oldest actresses in Turkey).
So the acting was almost perfect, Haluk Bilginer (Agah) and Cansu Dere (Nevra) were brilliant! I did not like Metin Akdülger (Ates), Müjde Ar (Nesrin), and Sebnem Bozoklu (Zuhal) at all, their characters seemed unnecessary and unexplained to me. For example Ates's death was realistic, but unnecessarily traumatic.
I like the locations and shots and scenes from Istanbul, it was on point and not tourist compeller. I like the costumes, Agah and Feza's are my favorites. Dialogs and monologues are intelligently written, I like them so much.
The ending was good. I don't understand why Nevra had a son, who was the father, if it was Ates then it could be more apparent. Also some questions remained; "what happened to the fans of murderer, did his daughter find out about it, what happened to his daughter after returning to her abusive husband..."
Still, congratulations to Onur Saylak and rest of the team for making the best Turkish crime story ever.
Re-Animator (1985)
Had fun even in the gore parts
This is definitely not a boring, disappointing or disgusting movie. Although the production year is old (perhaps that's why), there are no unnecessary scenes in the film, it is extremely gripping, and thrilling enough. I really liked it entirely!
I liked the main characters, even the crazy West, because they all had a purpose of existence and then we observed their emotional development. West was a cold-blooded, psychotic genius; and/but I'm glad he did nothing to Meg.
I was angry at Hill's obsession with Meg, disappointed as what Walt said, "You have a miracle breakthrough in your hand, and see what you are doing." and it was a little unnecessary for the course of the story but I don't care much. Yeah, okay, Meg's role was just being a beautiful distractor.
Her boyfriend, Cain, was brave and good so I liked him too. He went through a lot, I don't think he can sleep in peace anymore. He then re-animated Meg in the end but I wouldn't do that after seeing how much pain she would suffer when she came back.
Gore scenes were not disturbing, I actually enjoyed a lot. Re-animated corpses was very good visually; they were impressive without making silly zombie walks and being overly disgusting.
I was not scared while watching the movie, except for jump-scares, but I got really nervous about unexpected deaths (like the dean) and dark scenes. This is a good horror movie for my expectations.
I would watch this again and I recommend you to watch it.
