User Reviews

was it horror?

There was nothing about horror.The movie was not horror or something close.It was just a funny teenage movie with lots of swaering and a stupid ghost(he was such a dork when he was alive and the same when he is dead). The producers tried to sell it by the young and beautiful(I dont think so)actresses and some of Turkish celebrites such as Deniz Akkaya.Yes it worked and lots of 11-16 year old boys watched it.And producers made money with that.But is making movies like this develops Turkish cinema...I don't think so... There are some frightening moments but they don't affect you because of the pointless swearing and stupid scenes(the boys in the movie swears everything and anytime).After watching you don't remember the scary scenes you remember the stupid dialogues for example "This is salty...the school is crying"(after tasting the water coming from the walls).
