A family is haunted by the tragedies of their mother's sudden and unsolved death....they begin experiencing supernatural behavior in their dreams. Soon they find themselves in the presence of a dark secret rising from their disturbing past.
From the official statement:
According to data provided by Box Office Turkey, Hasan Karacadağ’s Dabbe series’ latest film Dabbe:5 was released on Sept.12 - 2014 and received a record number of viewers with 836,232 in 12 weeks. The film’s total revenue was 8,335,630 Turkish Liras.
Karacadağ is one of the Turkish horror film directors who mostly depicts jinnis in his films. His film was a blockbuster among Turkish and foreign horror films this year.
Karacadağ states that he has claimed since his first film that local, cultural and historic factors would scare Turkish viewers. “People did not believe it at first. Actually, our people have been influenced by horror factors fed by the concept of jinni or cultural codes. But it was unbelievable that it could not be adapted to cinema,” he said.
“The jinni’s world is a nonvisible and unknown world. It was questioned how it could be adapted to cinema.”
Karacadağ said he was making his ninth film, adding, “We have learned through time how to convey it to viewers. Nearly 850,000 people in Turkey and 150,000 people abroad have seen my latest film. It is very important to show viewers a story of their own culture and history, and to make it in the quality of international horror films. We did not reach that audience if we have not yet reached this quality. In this case, we are on the right track,” he said.
