This movie popped up on my radar from people saying it was similar to Event Horizon in themes, though not necessarily content. I think I would agree with that.
It's difficult to talk about things that happen in this without giving anything away... The acting seems good, though it's in Turkish and I have no idea if they're speaking well/appropriately for the situations. They seem to be! I would say that possibly the villain guy is a bit meh at times, he's definitely NOT an imposing character. Some of the background actors were interesting.
This may be a difference in culture but I don't totally know how/why this story happens. I didn't really "get" the story. I watched it all! But it was confusing to me. It dragged a bit in some spots too where I think it was meant to build tension, but it was too much slow motion, too many shots from afar, etc.
There is a lot of blood and if you're sensitive to seeing people get murdered on-screen, you probably will not want to watch this.
Recommended?
Hmmmm, yes? I still don't really understand the story but I liked it.
