Review of Siccîn

Siccîn (2014)
7/10
Lots of mumbo jumbo in an otherwise one time watch horror film.
12 January 2019
I got pulled into seeing this aft enjoying Baskin. Basically the film is similar to Drag Me To Hell with a twist n some creepy atmosphere. A woman visits a soccerer to find out if her cousin is suitable for her to marry to which the soccerer after doing some ritual tells her to be away from the guy. Fast forward 12 years n the guy is married to another female n they have a blind daughter. The wife is mostly busy with household chores, especially tending to her sick mother n blind daughter. After an accidental abortion n the guy's shunning behaviour, the woman once again visits the soccerer with lots of cash n jewellery n asks him to perform black magic on the cousin's wife so that she can be with him. Ther r some annoying repeated pig butchering scenes. The director succeeded in creating a surrealistic atmosphere by jus focusing on few characters n mostly night scenes. The demon scenes were similar to the Asian horror films. I was able to predict the twist but it was conclusive.
