Storyline

Turkish director Hasan Karacadag is something of an unusual case. In a nation that appears uncertain how to feel about its own history with exploitation film and generally reluctant to embrace genre film - though there are obvious exceptions - Karacadag has jumped headlong into the horror pool. The director first came to attention with the J-horror influenced D@BB, a surprise hit in Turkey that allowed Karacadag to move on to the more visually ambitious - and effects heavy - effort, Semum. Both film showcased Karacadag's growing ability to shock and terrify his audiences by taking the rich folklore of his country and pushing it to its dark extremes. And he's at it again with D@BB: Bir Cin Vakasi. The sequel to his original hit, this latest efforts puts away the Japanese influence in favor of a more Paranormal vibe, but the underlying mythology remains purely regional with the story following a Turkish family whose home is possessed by angry jinns.

A Stunningly Effective Horror Film; Dabbe:A Djinn Incident!

This is the real deal for 'found footage' horror fans. I know that,Horror films are something you really have to want to enjoy and yes This film really scared me!I went to the theater this weekend and saw it. I must say it is a great Turkish horror movie. The terror starts slow, develops the characters well, and progressively gets more suspenseful until it ends with it's shocking finale. Shortly the story is about a night invisible djinn(demon)stalker and a married sleepwalker woman,her husband,her daughter! Paranormal Activity clearly inspired this film,But dabbe:Bir Cin vakasi is easily 10 times more frightening than paranormal activity! As the same style;The entire thing is shot with a home video camera and some fixed security home cameras! The first question from the movie is;'Why djinns(demons) stalk people,and What is their reason of suddenly start to stalking an innocent woman? Then The movie ask another question to the audiences ;'Is Sleep walking a medical problem or its about djinns...?'Did you ever Wonder what Happens While You Sleep.....? Think about that;'Are Djinn vulnerable to magic?' Forget the movies that you had seen before like Wishmaster series or Alaaddin about djinns! The popular myth of the Djinn in the bottle is far removed from that of a Djinn and is only popularized in such a fashion by Hollywood and fantasy gamers. Djinns were usually created as malevolent in nature!

Real Djinns are Real terror!

''expect my visit when the darkness comes.The night I think is best for hiding all!''

Th editing is very interesting you can feel the terror and You know the evil is there but you don't see it, just like normal real life haunting is usually.

And the The ending....woo-ow...The ending is really scary as hell,brilliant and perfect.of course I won't spoil the ending, I will just say it was the best part of the whole film!

I recommend this movie but keep sensitive children away. I think it will definitely bring about nightmares. If you are a horror fan and looking for a real terror then watch this film alone in the night in your room and Open the gates to the world of the Djinn.You will feel the Djinns presence in the room with you...!

Recommended.
