Turkish filmmaker Hasan Karacadag stands out as a unique figure. In a country that often seems unsure about its relationship with exploitation films and is generally hesitant to embrace genre cinema—despite some notable exceptions—Karacadag has fully immersed himself in the horror genre. He first gained recognition with D@BB, a J-horror-inspired film that became an unexpected success in Turkey, paving the way for his more visually ambitious and effects-laden project, Semum. Both films highlighted Karacadag’s increasing talent for unsettling and frightening audiences by drawing on his country’s rich folklore and exploring its darker aspects. He continues this trend with D@BB: Bir Cin Vakasi. This sequel to his original hit shifts away from Japanese influences, opting instead for a more Paranormal style, yet it retains a distinctly local mythology, centering on a Turkish family whose home is haunted by vengeful jinns.
