Amityville Clownhouse (2017)
Yes, in 2017 more than one Amityville movie came out. There was Amityvllle Prison, Amityville: The Awakening, Amityville: The Final Chapter and this movie, which was originally called Amityville: Evil Never Dies and Amityville Toybox. It’s a sequel to 2016’s The Amityville Legacy, a movie that features a haunted cymbal playing monkey causing all the terror. If you look […]
Biri Beni Gözlüyor (1988)
Translated as Someone’s Watching Me, this movie is better known in the U.S. as the Turkish version of The Shining. A writer brings his wife and daughter to a remote island hotel — instead of the Overlook — to inspire his writing. Of course, the last writer who stayed there killed his whole family, so things don’t […]
Ölüme Son Adim (1983)
Whether you watch this under its true title or the translation Death’s Last Step or Last Step to Death or just prefer to call it Turkish Mad Max, I have to tell you, this is one of the greatest movies that I’ve ever seen. It somehow has everything I want in one movie — blood, brawls, black-haired […]
Ölüm Savasçisi (1984)

You’ve seen absolutely nothing because none of these creators would be able to create a movie quite like the absolutely […]
Uçan Daireler Istanbulda (1955)
It’s 7,296 miles from Ankara to Mexico City, but you’d never guess it by this film, known in our tongue as Flying Saucers Over Istanbul. In the same way that Mexican films like La Nave de los Monstruos and Conquistador de la Luna see the worlds beyond ours, this movie feels like it very well be a primo de […]
Aska Susayanlar: Seks ve Cinayet (1972)
Translated as Thirsty for Love, Sex and Murder, this 1972 Turkish film is basically Sergio Martino’s The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh in an hour and with a different ending. I was astounded to learn that this movie existed, much less be able to find it. For all the horrible things you say about the internet […]
