After watching Dabbe 3 and Dabbe 4, the director successfully displays his style throughout the series. Dabbe 5 has a similar story to the other films in the series however it differs in its twist, location and scares. In Dabbe 3 and 4 we see a slower progression in the films with the horror usually lying in the ending scenes. This changes in Dabbe: Zehr-i Cin. The film Begins on a horrifying note and is certainly more terrifying than its predecessors. The director of the series definitely evolves throughout the series. The classic Dabbe formula: combining science and religion, modern technology and ancient folklore using a western cinematic style and eastern cultural aspects is apparent in this film. I would recommend this film if the viewer enjoyed Dabbe 3 and 4. Scares: 8/10 Actors: 7/10 Story: 8.5/10 Overall: 8/10

After an amazing entry (Dabbe: Cin Carpmasi), Hasan Karacadag decides to use the same repertoire and plot devices in a different setting, and fails miserably. It is eerie--he uses almost all the main themes and elements, minor and major, that it seems as if he had run out not only of ideas, but common sense as well.The story is shallow, the dialog is tedious, the entire cast consists of cardboard characters with no development at all, and every single performance is either flat or campy. Cinematography looks cheap as well.There is nothing to look for in this film, even the fans of the metaphysical element will find its inclusion rushed, half-cooked, and unnecessary to the story.Was Karacadag forced to make this abomination of a film? Was it written and directed by an amateur fan of the franchise? I would not know. But it surely has been a very quick and short journey from the heaven of well-crafted film-making to the just-another-entry-for-sales dark pit of oblivion.

great scenario! A nice job from Turkey in horror genre. I did not expect such a movie from a director in Turkey; but he did his best and he deserves a hooray ;) At the first, the film starts as if you're watching from the middle, but as the time elapse, all of the parts takes their places and form a big picture and at the end, you notice that you just watched a good movie and it was not a waste of time. this film has previous versions too but I've not watched them. but after watching this movie, I would prefer to go for them too, despite I'm not a good fan of a horror movies, specially the ones that is based on paranormal things. for those of you that don't speak Turkish, I wish you could find a subtitle and watch it, as it has a good story behind.

I saw this movie in the theater with a group of friends. We haven't seen a good scary movie for a long time in Turkish cinemas, but this movie full fill all my expectations.because,I am not easily freaked out by horror movies, but I really like horror movies based on true stories.Hasan Karacadag has done a great job in building the tension and suspense slowly and scaring the daylights out of us.He knows Turkish people's deepest fears and was made to scare the hell out of you!It has a good plot, characters and an actual storyline (unlike some other movies). very solid script. And This time karacadag keeps the CGI at a minimum. it told a lot of details about,Djinns,dreams,nightmares and religions!Excellent set design and costumes as well.Sound design and music was OK.I loved how sparingly the music was used. Definitely worth it if you like good scary movies with not much gratuitous violence.Anyway good flick and fun to watch.If you love scary movies based on true stories this one is awesome.The final twist is mind blowing!I don't want to say anymore than that in fear I'll spoil it for anyone. Just definitely watch this.
