Karadedeler Olayi

It has been announced in the last days of 2010 that in 1989, some out of ordinary activities had happened; terrified inhabitants of a common village somewhere in Turkey, Bagbakan brothers who wrote and directed the movie claimed that a videotape survived until today showing us what had happened there.

Bagbakan brothers clearly decided to perform a horror movie based on videotape that has never been done in Turkey before; what we are familiar from 'Paranormal Activity' series, they just adapted the main plot and added some oriental entities, what I mean adaptation of Paranormal Activity into Turkish cinema, joining 'gin' image what Turkish and most of Middle East people are familiar with its stories and same manner with Paranormal Activity; treating the audience like a fool with claiming that this all about a true story; video camera presents us all the story of a village invaded by some paranormal creatures what Turkish people call 'gins'.

Acting is awful to begin with, cast of movie has a perished acting due to desire of Bagbakan brothers to deceive the audience with the characters are not acting, just what really happened. However it mess up at all, cast's acting is totally artificial and give them up, there are many noticeable scenes that anyone can catch that problem, to illustrate when boy goes to home of village headman, his calling 'Muhtar Emmi! Muhtar Emmi! and things happens afterward, just an example of all movie is alive with.

Movie can be attractive for those who enjoy that kind of movies, as a best example Paranormal Activity; it may seem as if a nice adaptation of Islamic and oriental interactions. But certainly not for me, Karadedeler Olayı is one of the worst movies I have ever seen, and the worst one as horror, exception of 'Edward D. Wood movies may.

You can find these types of stories in every village within Turkey.

I reckon that they did not have any sound director during the movie shooting. The sound is extremely vague.

The actors, or so-called 'real' people, are not quite convincing. There is nothing too scary in this movie.

This movie is quite different from conventional Turkish horror movies because it is not a horror movie. Do not spend your time watching this; instead, go to the nearest village and ask villagers about the stories there. They will tell you the same stories.

On the whole, my score is 1/10, as I cannot give a score below.

As a matter of fact, even though it's a bad movie, I recommend it to people who like horror movies. It's different from other Turkish horror movies. There are many logical errors in the movie, the found footage made the movie very believable.
