They aren't dead, they will come back: Dabbe

Gather up my horror movie fanatics, and let me take you on a spine-chilling run down to one of the most haunted Turkish movies. "Dabbe: The Possession," a Turkish horror gem that will leave you trembling with fear. This plot is solely based on a real-life story, making it all the more terrifying. Let’s begin. *minor spoilers ahead*😅

The plot of "Dabbe: The Possession" revolves around the tragic story of a young woman named Kubra. After suffering from unexplainable seizures and experiencing eerie paranormal phenomena, Kubra's family becomes deeply concerned. They seek help from renowned psychiatrist Ebru and religious scholar Faruk Ojha to reveal the mysterious and sinister forces at play.

Ebru, a strong-willed and compassionate psychiatrist, sets out to investigate Kubra's case with a scientific approach. On the other hand, Faruk Ojha, a devout and experienced religious scholar, believes that supernatural entities may be responsible for Kubra's possession. The clash between science and spirituality adds an intriguing layer to the movie, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats.

As the investigation progresses, Kubra's possession is revealed to be connected to a terrifying Djinn entity, an ancient and malevolent spirit in Islamic mythology. The movie is focused on the Djinn theory, suggesting that these entities can wreak havoc on human lives when provoked or when they are offered something by humans, only to take it back later with a hefty price.

What sets "Dabbe: The Possession" apart from other horror movies is its unique documentary-style approach, making it feel disturbingly real. The found footage style and first-person perspectives engage viewers in the haunting events, leaving them questioning the thin line between reality and the supernatural. The acting in the movie is nothing short of remarkable, with the cast delivering performances that will send shivers down your spine. Each character brings depth and authenticity to their characters, making you feel like you are witnessing a genuine investigation unfold before your eyes. I personally love Ebru’s realistic acting. 

“This movie is inspired by true events”, this particular sentence has been terrifying all horror movie lovers. Though it only adds to a movie’s authenticity and ignites the audience's interest. 

Now, let’s dive into the real-life incidents that inspired this bone-chilling tale. The movie is based on a true story that shook Turkey to its core. While Ebru was never found after her mysterious disappearance, Faruk Ojha was eventually located, but his head was severely injured, and he suffered amnesia.

The movie also highlights the prevalence of black magic in Turkey, where individuals with malevolent intentions use dark arts to manipulate and harm innocent people. This exploration of greed and malevolence serves as a chilling reminder that evil can take many forms, and the consequences can be devastating. This is why you never play with the supernatural. 

Not giving any major spoilers but as the movie unfolds, it becomes clear that people driven by greed and selfish desires can inflict unimaginable pain and suffering on the lives of the innocent. "Dabbe: The Possession" serves as a haunting yet cautionary tale, reminding us of the consequences of tampering with forces beyond our understanding.

So, if you're brave enough to face the horrors of Djinns, "Dabbe: The Possession" awaits you. But beware, once you step into the world of Turkish Horror Movies, there is no turning back.

Stay scared, winks*😉
