Plot – Spoilers:
A Turkish police unit are at a restaurant whiling the night away. The rookie in the group Arda has suffered from a recurring nightmare since childhood. His senior officer who was also a family friend has had similar experiences. After a minor brawl at the restaurant, the group head out and answer a call from another police unit who’ve gone missing at an abandoned building that used to be a police station. From here, things turn weird as the group find a gore-obsessed cult lurking in the depths of the hellish place as reality becomes indistinguishable from nightmare.
Random Trivia:
The strange-looking cult-head is played by actor Mehmet Cerrahoglu who suffers from a rare skin condition and looks like that irl.
Such a good movie.
Not bad – the first half is a bit slow – the last half is ok
Interesting movie love the surprise ending. Love movies that aren’t predictable.
hmm still a little confused about the cult’s ideologies and whatnot but it was great movie over all and Mehmet Cerrahoglu’s character has some very interesting dialogue. I had to write down a few of his lines to remember for later. fantastic film.
It wasn’t that bad went from 0 to 300000 as it certainly picked up the pace halfway and towards the end, I feel like they could of explored more into the backstory of the cult and its come up but other than that it was great!
slooooooow movie, but nice caracters specially at the end
super slowwww i just kinda skipped through the first half but the cult parts were entertaining
Most of the time is spent watching bald men talk about nothing in particular. Then in the last half hour when the action begins, the music and the actors’ reactions imply a lot more than what is actually delivered. Nice try but no cigar.
