Dabbe

this scenario could be filmed more originally , i m really disappointed watching this film. First of all there s no standard for the monsters, i mean each scene there appears a new monster which is structurally. after all they are not even scary , just some guy under mask . different than the others and never seems again - the masks and those creatures are described very weak , it seems funny rather than being horror. also acting of players are terribly bad , I'm not sure they are actors anyway maybe directors friends ? some details tried to be given but couldn't be placed on the movie , why its there cannot be solved. like a guy coming out of the sea in the beginning - what was that and why the watchers should be scared ?

this movie is the worst of all in Turkish horror movies!I even prefer the Turkish version of the Exorcist!and that film was made at least 3 decades ago.i can't believe how this movie scares people!the acting was as if the people were actually acting at a theater!even the Turkish dubbing is horrible!special make up artistry is definitely beyond words at the negative-adjective list of mine! :) this movie has given me the feeling that it's just a movie for the last project to finish college or something. it was really an amateur movie. i don't recommend watching it to anybody!it's just a waste of time!trust me! or maybe you should watch it so that you can see the difference between a bad and a good movie and appreciate the better ones more! :)

In case you're intrigued by discovering the significance of that oddball title, just remember that goofy trick with the calculator we all tried at least once back in grade school. If you type 58008 and subsequently turn the device upside down, it looks as if it says "*" on the display. "D@bbe" is a similar type of gimmick, only times evolved towards the use of Internet lingo now, of course. There! Sorted out that little mysterious piece of the "D@bbe" puzzle for you already! Don't ask me what it means, though. Apparently the titular entity (?) is some sort of Djinn like in "Wishmaster", but this Muslim version doesn't grant any wishes yet homes inside modern media (mobile phones, internet…) and gradually forces people to commit suicide in the most gruesome fashions. There really isn't that much to say about "D@bbe" except that it turned out a major personal disappointment. The plot and narrative structure is very reminiscent to the overload of lame and unexciting Asian ghost we've been receiving ever since "Ringu" came out around the late 1990's. You know, those movies that desperately try to be mysterious and scary, through brief ghastly appearances and supernatural hodgepodge, but miserably fail because they can't hide the fact there isn't an interesting and/or original story to tell. Usually these films open promisingly and atmospheric, but as soon as the events start requiring clarity and explanation, the whole thing becomes hopelessly implausible and even ridiculous. "D@bbe" is exactly like that. The first half hour is still fairly compelling, with three young people investigating the sudden and horrendous suicide of their mutual friend. The police are interested in the case as well, as similarly disturbing suicides like his come reported from all over the globe. There's undoubtedly a connection with the Internet and a bizarre email address that continues to send messages even after Tarik's death. The more the trio of friends and the overzealous police detective get closer to the truth, the more they too begin to suffer from nightmarish visions and stalking websites. I personally presumed duds like "Fear.Com" and "Horrorvision" made it clear that the Internet isn't scary horror movie material, but I'm mistaken yet again. "D@bbe" isn't frightening, with the exception of a few notable moments near the beginning and one ghoulish end shot that I nevertheless don't understand, and it's intolerably slow-paced and overlong. Sine it's primarily a ghost story, there's a total minimum of gore and a very low body count, so fans of splatter and spectacle should definitely beware. Director Hasan Karacadag knows a thing or two about cinematography and stylish compositions (either that or he worked with a talented cameraman), but the handful of beautiful shots can't save the dullness and incoherence of the script. The acting performances are abominable and I certainly wouldn't advise these Turkish players to quit their day jobs in exchange for a professional career. I sincerely hope they haven't already! But, what perhaps bothered me the most about "D@bbe" isn't the actual film's fault. The copy I watched suffered from the absolute most horrendous subtitling job I ever witnessed in my life. It was so bad it nearly ruined the viewing experience regardless of the movie's own quality! There were words missing, incomprehensible sentence structures, misspelled expressions and senseless phrases. In the whole of Turkey, there's must be someone who speaks and writes better English than the person who did the translating for this film?

The story of the movie is real great. There are couple of other movies like this one(Büyü). The real freaky thing about it is that at the gala of Büyü the movie theater burnt down, a lot of things went wrong during the filming. And at the filming of this movie(Dabbe), according to director and cast, there where couple of shapes flashing in the pictures. And the director got really scary nightmares where he got warned. This doesn't surprise me, the movies tell's us about beings that are mentioned in the Quran. Have fun watching it.

As a writer has written above, this movie looks lie a Japanese horror film. If you ask why, there is a Japanese consultant for this movie. If I heaven't seen Takeshi Miike's movies before, I would have worshiped to the quality of this movie. The lights and the visual effects were very good. But sadly, it is a copy. Yes, it includes Islamic horror contents but the highest level of horror is given in the Japanese way. I would recommend "One Missed Call"(Sorry, I don't know its Japanese name) to those who think that this movie is something original and full of horror.

This movie is sooo bad that it is good at the end. It'll probably become a cult movie, I have friends who have seen it >3 times, just because it is so much fun. From the screenplay to the acting, everything is so mind-blowingly poor, too poor to be explained by lack of money. Well, it looks like all the money was actually spent for the opening credits, but that is another story. What makes the movie beautiful is that it wasn't meant this way, Dabbe takes itself seriously, it wasn't meant to be funny. I think it is a must see, although at more than one scene the stupidity of the main character made me want to turn off the whole thing. Hang in there, it is worth it!

I happened to watch the film. It is a complete disaster. The scenes are not related, they just portray some awful elements. As an example, the three main characters appear in the middle of nowhere and then discuss the suicide of their friends, later they do the same on top of a steam locomotive. There no connecting scenes. The subject is not examined enough, instead lots of recurring scenes are inserted in the film. If it was an American film, it will probably have the half of its running time. The actors of the film just talk about the main subject and this makes the film boring. As I sad before lack of connecting scenes makes the film one of the worst of its kind. I hope the subject/main plot will later filmed more professionally in the near future.

first of all i want to say that this feature ( i will not even call it a movie ) is a big disappointment for everyone who has buy the DVD with big expectations. its a waste of time!!! it is a waste of time like it is to the whole film crew...a waste of time and money..bad acting, bad screenplay, bad direction of photography ( whats all about the yellow color ?? ) and a very very bad plot...don't the director get it that this one is full of clichés?? those sudden effects are disturbing and awful but definitely not scary. A low budget production with many references to mainstream horror cinema...what a dilemma, isn't it? one of those Ring - like movies that don't even get close to it.....or shouldn't i say that this one is awful like The ring was.. I wish there were a "0" to vote for this movie so i wouldn't blame myself for giving this one a point.. But last but not least i want to comment the most disturbing point for me in this crap thing..the SCARFACE poster in the house of the two girls ( whatever their names are )!!..i think it shouldn't be in a feature like that because it is a big big big disrespecting for such a great FILM !! ( Its better when Mickey & Mallory watch it on TV ).....
