Pakistanis are slowly and gradually moving towards exploring Turkish cinema. At first, everyone was obsessed with Ertugrul, a Turkish series, and now, a Turkish horror film called Dabbe: The Possession has become the talk of the town.

Relevance with the Muslim Culture

The interest in the Turkish series was derived due to Islamic history and the ottoman empire rule. However, as far as the horror film is concerned, the crowd’s interest developed due to the film exploring Islamic exorcism as opposed to Christianity/Hindusim that we always get to see on screen.

In the film, you’ll also be able to relate with many things because of its relevance with the Muslim culture, such as dreams of possession, black magic, power of Ayat-ul-kursi, Surah Jinn, burning after applying mustard oil, the concept of math in Islam to translate messages, references drawn in the film based on how Islam looks at djinns and demons and so many more.

In the film, we see a character (Faruk) performing an exorcism in the Islamic way. Another character (Dr Ebru), who is sceptical of his work, challenges him to look at her friend’s case, who apparently got possessed on her wedding day and ended up killing the man she was supposed to marry. She was taken away by the police and later admitted to a mental hospital, and was returned home with no cure.

Now, Faruk and Ebru have teamed together to solve the mystery. Watch the trailer here:

The film is available on Netflix to watch. However, the series has many parts; however, Dabbe: The Possession is the 4th part – the scariest, as said on the internet.

The Cinematography

When we sit down to watch a horror film alone or with friends, what we’d expect is scary jumps, scary lighting settings, tropes to scare us with lots of sudden panning, of course. However, “Dabbe: The Possession” doesn’t rely on these tactics. Instead, the film is shot on a live camera in a documentary style that makes every scene look very real.

Storyline

The two-hour horror film is highly driven by its storyline. It was written and directed by Hasan Karacadag – truly applaudable work. The last 20 minutes of the series will blow you away as you will finally be able to unfold what was really the case.

All That’s Coming to Netflix in August. Read the full story here:
