Dabbe 6: The Return

After watching the Dabbe series, it is clear that director, Hasan Karacadag, has mastered his technique. Dab6e has achieved a level of raw terror that is so rare that I almost thought I could never feel it again. The film is not afraid to scare its audience, which is a common problem with Western horror films in our generation. Dab6e is currently the most terrifying film I have ever seen. As usual there will be poor ratings by the public, but I advise horror fans to sit down in a dark silence and view this film. Dab6e uses the classic formula of its predecessors however the film has the highest level of terror in the series.

Dab6e uses a large number of horror elements which are used to petrify the viewer: gore, witchcraft, demons etc. Along with the classic Dabbe twist. Combining these into a film that keeps you captivated the whole way. Simply brilliant. Bravo Dab6e… bravo… 9/10

I found out about the dabbe series while browsing through IMDb once and decided to give them a go as they had pretty rave reviews. before watching the 6th part I indulged myself into Dabbe: Cin Çarpmasi (2013) & Dabbe: Bir Cin Vakasi (2012) respectively. I loved the former and found the latter to be above average too.

I was excited to watch this latest installment because of the above mentioned movies but sadly i was thoroughly disappointed. It seemed the director wanted to involve too many horror elements and was not able to contain the cesspool he created. The result was a boring, illogical movie that would make you scratch your head and think "Where have I seen it before?"

I agree it was creepy and the gore was good but it was really bad at the same time. Following are some of the things that i absolutely hated.

1. The movie is shot in a really weird way. There is a strange vignetting effect in nearly 70% of the reel. The center of the frame is clear whereas the rest is blurred on purpose. As the movie progresses the director switched to shaky cam give it a found footage effect unnecessarily and that annoyed me greatly.

2. The pacing is really slow with nothing happening at all in the first 60 minutes. We just see Alya getting possessed, mouthing words and pouncing on people aimlessly.

3. The special effects were just terrible. I don't expect such horrible imagery in movie released in 2015.

4. A lot of scenes seemed to be inspired or directly copied from major Hollywood movies. One of the renditions of the jinn seemed to be taken from "the woman in black" for example.

5. The director tries too hard to shock the audience and it stops working after a while as it starts getting too long and boring. A lot of scenes could have been done away with, without altering the story.

My advice is to avoid this movie if you have watched the previous films in the series. This has nothing new to offer.

When you go on making a series, at some point of time your imagination might fail you and that has exactly happened with this movie. It just keeps on dragging with continuous concocted terror elements, which do not really scare, but only makes one fear for the rating of this film

It is still a good horror movie but after seeing dabbe 3, 4 and 5, this one doesn't have the same intensity of its predecessors. Hope the next one does what this one failed to. That said, am still a big fan of the director and the series and I liked this one too.

Dabbe is a decent series to watch with friends. As I expected from the Dabbe 6, there were some disappointments.

1. The story was stretched by force, not with micro details, hints, or anything like that.

2. The FX, camera positions, and lighting were too complex to handle. There were too many jump scares which was not that good except for some.

3. The most vital part is to be the story and the plot, right? Trust me, it was chaos. If you know the Islamic History of Djinn or Jinn you will find out that easily. They tried to merge Djinn with ghoul and haunted soul but I can assure you they failed to visualize that part.

4. Twists were good. But what good thing a twist can bring without an explanation? Twists will give you a super thrill for a moment but I am sure the writer or director failed to explain how everything happened.

Lastly, there are so many things I can say about this movie, you might also feel dizzy sometimes. But you will enjoy this movie with your lover who has never watched horror movies. At least those cringe-jump scares will let her scream where you will get the fun in that! Lol. Just kidding.

Enjoy!!
