Semum (2008) 5/10

Starring : Ayca Inci, Burak Hakki
Director : Hasan Karacadag
Running Time : 117 mins

When Canan (Inci) and her husband Volkan (Hakki) move into their new home, everything seems right with their world, but when Canan starts experiencing strange feelings in the house, the couple soon discover that she has been possessed by the evil spirit Semum, the devil’s most loyal servant.

This Turkish horror movie is quite interesting in parts, but the over the top effects towards the end of the movie (highly reminiscent of Constantine) kind of spoiled it for me. By trying to be more than it was, this took what could have been an effective low budget horror and turned it into a showy waste of time.
