    It all starts out pretty uneventful but then takes a turn and another turn and even more to the point that you aren't sure what is happening now and what are flashbacks. You don't really get the hints to what's going on until the end and then it hits you. Literally. Not crazy about having to use subtitles as the movie is in Turkish but still kept me watching.

    Other than the foreign perspective of a Turkish horror film, I found it completely unoriginal. I won't complain about watching a van scene where the occupants sing along to the radio for an entire song, because, Turks? Who knows. I was fortunate to be able to ff past the slow bits, like when we watch for well over a minute while the antagonist sloooowly enters and takes his seat. Would not recommend.

    camera shots were interesting. the story is lacking a bit and leaves me asking about of whys. it went from kind of boring to kind of woah mid way. also, the "leader" was not terrifying in the least... appeared to be an over grown baby with calm demeanor and a padlock necklace. the film isn't scary but has disturbing images. and no one explained the heathen birthed rock taken up the spiral staircase. overall- lots of holes and not very scary.

    Third time starting this, subtitles, finally got through it. Alot of dialogue to this, but things don't really get interesting until the last 30 minutes or so and by then it's too late. Not much nuance, reason, or rhyme to what is happening in this torture horror. Whatever they spent making this was too much.

    This film is impressive. In a nutshell, it is about tuff-guy cops getting trapped in a nightmarish hellhole where they cannot perform, survive or "call for back-up". It's about people who think they have the world on a string, but are actually, themselves, dangling from a thread. It starts out spooky and ends completely bonkers. By the end it becomes clear that the eternal fears that haunt the mind from birth, despite the little victories, are coming back. A closed loop. The monster never really dies.

    I really enjoyed, acting was great. Really awesome villain, you are forced to question what's actually going on and it's up to you really what you think the ends means. That's what makes this film interesting, I would recommend !

    The vulgar and Gore take away from the overall horror but the villain whom resembles "hellraisers - pinhead" makes this film memorable.

    This is a really beautiful atmospheric movie but I just hated it I'm sorry. For what it's worth, before I saw this, Hellraiser was probably my least favorite horror movie and I had similar feelings about this one. This may be a technically better movie than Hellraiser but I hated it a tiny bit more. So if you like Hellraiser and similar things you may like it. But I strongly didn't like it. It's just boring and dark and slow and nonsensical.

    I wanted to like this movie but it just didn't go anywhere. There are a lot of boring dream scenes which I always hate and that's no different here. The last 1/3rd of the movie starts out great and had me thinking oh s**t what's going to happen next. Then what happened next just left me feeling let down. 3 stars because the set and makeup is phenomenal, if it weren't for that this movie would be 1 star material.

    This film started off strong but the last third was just a complete let down. It had some interesting ideas going but instead everything ends in just an incoherent mess that makes little to no sense with nothing really being answered. This film suffers from the same affliction as many others in that it sacrifices substance for style. Mediocre at best. I guess I'd recommend to anyone who likes pomp and circumstance more than substance.
