Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Red-Barracuda Well this one certainly qualifies as something of a curio. I haven't seen a lot of Turkish films so I really didn't know what to expect from this one. I guess its primary significance is that it's regarded as a Turkish giallo. And not only that but one that came out several years before that Italian sub-genre truly went into hyper-drive. So I am guessing you couldn't accuse this film of being too derivative of that genre. If you want to be more accurate you would label this as a Turkish take on the German Krimi. These German films influenced the giallo and while they were stylised they were a lot less menacing, more playful. And this film is no different, well that is as playful as a film about a necrophiliac rapist serial killer can be.The story in a nutshell is about a psychopath who murders women. He wears a Halloween mask and monster gloves. His victim's first initials match the first letter of the district they are killed in.I was surprised a little by the salacious plot line and the very westernised women in this one. I wrongly assumed that a film set in 60's Turkey would never allow this. Shows you what I know. The film itself is fun, if a little lacking in the thrills department. This makes it no different from Krimis in general. But I have to say that overall it's an entertaining enough cult item. If you are a keen student of left-field Euro cinema from the 60's you owe it to yourself to at least give this a try.
