Reviewed by im_shan_i 8 / 10nice job
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.
Reviewed by shadowofthehorrornight 8 / 10Stays true to the Dabbe name and expands the horror in the series
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
Reviewed by askinmaskin2 8 / 10Very nice! Quite to my expectations.
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.

Reviews for "The Internal Struggles of the Characters in "Dabbe: The Curse of Jinn"
1. Jennifer - 2/5 stars - Dabbe the Curse of Jinn started off with a promising premise, but quickly became a disappointment. The storyline was confusing and choppy, making it difficult to follow along. The acting was also subpar, with the characters lacking depth and the dialogue feeling forced. Additionally, the special effects were poorly executed and looked cheap. Overall, I was left feeling underwhelmed and unsatisfied after watching this film.
2. Brian - 1/5 stars - Dabbe the Curse of Jinn was a complete waste of time. The plot was convoluted and made no sense, leaving me scratching my head throughout the entire film. The acting was atrocious, and it was clear that the actors were not invested in their roles. The jump scares were predictable and lacked any real impact. Furthermore, the film was filled with unnecessary gore and violence, which only served to shock and disturb the audience without adding any substance to the story. I would not recommend wasting your time on this film.
3. Sarah - 2/5 stars - Dabbe the Curse of Jinn had potential, but it failed to deliver. The pacing was incredibly slow, and it took the film a long time to build any real tension. The characters were also underdeveloped, and I found it hard to care about their fates. The film relied too heavily on jump scares, which quickly became repetitive and lost their effectiveness. Additionally, the ending felt rushed and unsatisfying. Overall, I was disappointed with Dabbe the Curse of Jinn and would not recommend it to others.
