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.
Really bad movie; the worst from the “most disturbing movies” list. Everything is bad: the plot, the actors, dialogues. Also, type “Bruno Diferente” on google.
But thanks anyway for posting this, adm.
a lot of this could work as a great nsfw music video, as a movie its kinda ass.
well shot and decently directed but not very well written.
Fucking superb! Some of the best demonic cult scenes that ever existed. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall perhaps even a frog lol I enjoy movies that show a joyful comradery that ends with the bond of death…shout out to the descent.
As much as I’m not fan of the turks I have to give them credit with this film. It was pretty good. Then again they are a murderous people so I’m not surprised.
all cops are bastards
Ahhhhhhhhh! This is so fking good!!!!! I love every scene, especially the small subtle scenes of each character to express their quirks here. The unraveling of the mystery is very well-paced, as well as the tension to build for the climax of the story. Even the scenes going for the ending of the movie are also creepy, cool, and unexpected. Their props, costumes, and makeup look realistic. In addition, the tour inside the cult is also very interesting (I wished they extended those scenes though).
(PS: Seyif’s and Yakuv’s scenes during and after the climax are definitely my most favorite scenes here.)

Spoiler:
I wonder what criteria are being used by the cult leader to decide the roles of the captives? a) food, b) blind breeding livestock, c) blind human sex pet, d) human followers that aren’t made blind.
Thanks for sharing this movie~
I f I can’t have her then I kill her or rape her, perfectly describes arab culture
turks are not arabs retard
yes they are arabs just look at the noses and etno studies. sorry if I hurt your feelings
open a fucking book dumb ass yankee
You don’t know a fucking thing, do you? There are 84 million Turkish people as of now and Arabs only make up roughly 2% of the Turkish population… that makes them a minority. Even if bunched up with many other minorities, excluding the Kurds, they only make up around 10% of Turkey’s population. Overall, most Turkish people have ancestry originating from Central Asia before conquering Anatolia whereas Arabs are Semites from the Middle East, which Turks are not.
Next time do some research before spouting off your dumb racist bullshit, you thick cunt.
The orignal post said Arab culture rather than Arab heritage. I really am not fussed about Turkey and the racist meme of rape-culture.
However in the UK there are millions of people who call themselves British but its a paper-thin description because they are culturally not British, English, Irish, Welsh, Scotish or Cornish. They have not even tried to fit-in. They actually expect a countries culture to change to theirs.
This and the fact they so many liberal thinkers have accepted it means there is a massive rise of intolerance in the UK that I have never encountered in my whole life. Sometimes scares me into thinking that we have turned back to a 3rd Reich type of pidgeonholing and that does not turn out well for anyone.
The top half of your comment is welcome facts that help people to learn but resorting to an insult in the end is basically one step forward, two steps back.
It will be the last sentence that Rumpel will focus on. Remember there is nothing wrong with dumb racist bullshit as long as it is the right kind. Just like the welshman holding a gun and saying he was making sure no englishmen turned up on the coast. FB was happy with that type of dumb racist bullshit because it was anti-English.
Totally agree. Blacks try the same cultural hogwash in the US. Telling weak minded morons that everyone is black (ROTFLMAO) and nevermind that they are the very least of any race to have advanced significantly over the last century except for more barbaric behaviour and lifestyles. You cannot help what you are. And to betray your own honesty in order to appease someone not only makes you a liar but also a coward. The correct thing is to say that muslim culture continues to be out of the dark ages and even muslim women are desperate to get out of that life. Now unless you’re telling us that women in general don’t have any rights in any muslim populated country then yes – it is absolutely correct that muslim men treat their women like shit and see them only as incubators and second class citizens. Wake up, you “woke” bastards.
you’d be surprised what other culture says the same
It’s a pretty amazing film. The first half is surreal and the latter is when the gore starts. I loved this movie. I just wish the boss didn’t die
🙁
i didn’t find the film particularly shocking or confronting, the ending was a bit… bleh. however, credit where credit’s due, some of the shots in this movie are genuinely beautiful and creative.
Intriguing plot for sure
No Carole or tigers but lots of moustaches as you would expect in a Turkish film. An eerie little movie, 3/5 tigers.
My first Turkish film ever I think. Reasonably enjoyable, that little guy creeped me out. Some nice gore and atmospherics made it above average from others of this genre. Agree about the slow start, but it does build up nicely to a good finish.
a lot like mandy, ridiculously slow at the beginning, absolutely perfect for the rest 10/10
Agree with the other person who commented about the first half being slow but I have to say this movie has been the only horror movie to leave me with
this sort of psychological fear ( i have no other words to explain). I felt cery frightened but not like when watching something thats about ghosts or whatever. This was an intense dark feeling that stayed with me for days. I highly recommend ….
I agree this one did that for me as well. Another one that I just couldn’t shake the feeling afterwards was Mother! that movie just about sent me into a panic attack, and usually horror films help quell anxiety for me.
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.
super slowwww i just kinda skipped through the first half but the cult parts were entertaining
slooooooow movie, but nice caracters specially at the end
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!
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.
my favorite line of dialogue: “Where is your Unit, Dude?”

Spoiler:
Then, after the dude trolled Seyif, he cutely giggled. lmao
Yeah. He was so suave yet savage the whole time he was acting his cult leader role. Also, besides his appearance, his voice also helped him carry out his role more convincingly.
Interesting movie love the surprise ending. Love movies that aren’t predictable.
Not bad – the first half is a bit slow – the last half is ok
Such a good movie.
