Seytan (1974)
5/10
One of THOSE Turkish remakes
3 July 2017
Warning: Spoilers
There's little point describing the plot of SEYTAN, as it's a scene-by-scene copy of the Hollywood smash hit THE EXORCIST, re-staging all of the key moments in a typically Turkish cult film way; i.e. with a minimum of effort and a maximum of unintentional hilarity. Anyone familiar with Turkish trash cinema will know what to expect here, but for those who are not, let me explain succinctly: this is trashy, very cheap-looking, with bad make-up and cheaper effects, a literal point-and-shoot way of making movies. It's also very funny in an unintentional way, unlike the original movie. Expect to hear Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells constantly ripped off on the soundtrack.
