Turkish television screen-writer and director Alper Mestçi ("Dikkat Şahan Çıkabilir" & "Gen") re-teams with long-time collaborator Güray Ölgü to make his directorial début with this compelling little horror film which takes a fascinatingly Islamic spin on the exorcism story to create a Turkish box-office hit that was even distributed in Europe.Turkish labourer Suat (Burak Özcivit) leaves his new bride Nurcan (Bigkem Karavus) behind and joins his childhood friend Metin (İbrahim Can) in Berlin to earn some money. Haunted by dark visions that drive him to attempt suicide Suat returns with and Metin to Istanbul to seek the advice of spiritual healer Haci Burhan Kasavi (Kurtuluş Şakirağaoğlu). Burak Özçivit puts in an astonishing début performance as the tortured lead and develops a compelling chemistry with strangely ethereal romantic interest Biğkem Karavus as well as the supporting cast headed by İbrahim Can on solid form and including star turns from Selma Kutluğ and "Kurtlar Vadisi" veteran Kurtuluş Şakirağaoğlu.The film-makers start off somewhat shoddily with some hokey shocks inspired by J-Horror hits such as "The Ring" and "The Grudge" but things soon settle down into a compelling little story that slowly ratchets up the tension with a few jumps and shakes along the way to create a Turco-Islamic horror a cut above most of the countries genre offerings."It was a great love but it was wrong!"

I think this is the best Turkish horror movie i have ever seen.I really congratulate the producer "Alper Mestçi" for this movie.With this budget i think he has done the best he can.The actors were pretty good and the effects weren't exaggerated.Especially the leading actor "Burak Özçivit" was perfect. I think he processed the theme perfect.We have seen lots of Turkish horror movies to be seen to have fun;after all these it is unbelievable for me to see such a movie. I recommend everyone seeing this movie and i am sure that i will go to Alper Mestçi's first movie without hesitating just to contribute his work,because he really deserved this with this movie

"Musallat" is a well written and good fictioned Turkish horror movie.I think it's unique among other genre movies shot in Turkey.As being the first movie focusing hugely good on the Islamic exorcism as main theme,it includes also an unusual love story beyond two worlds.The magnetism of the movie is cruel as the story,so we see the characters start to "freefall" into the darkening dynamics of the unknown.I might say that the chemistry of the visual direction and sound work used in the film are also on a high level.I cannot easily compare these specifications with the other movie examples in Turkish genre cinema. I think the negativity of this movie is coming up from the dialog scenes between the main character and his best friend in Germany because they look a bit synthetic.Congratulations and greetings to all the people who worked for this film.
