Driven by cruel and malevolent intent, Semum begins a slow and terrifying transformation, turning Canan into something no longer human. As hellish nightmares bleed into reality, Satan’s most loyal servant Semum, takes possession of Canan’s body. Why has this innocent woman been chosen as his target? And will the gates of hell opened for an ordinary human ever be closed?

Curiosità

Semum is a 2008 Turkish horror film produced, written and directed by Hasan Karacadağ which reportedly recounts the true story of a woman who lives in İzmir, Turkey.

Production

Talking about the film in Today's Zaman the director argues that, "he tried to create a model of a Turco-Islamic horror film and that he would make the world recognize this model, of which he sees Semum as the first example." Semum will be compared with The Exorcist and star Ayça İnci will be compared with Linda Blair, the director told Today's Zaman, noting that the Turkish horror films made so far have been far from satisfactory.

The film was shot on location in Istanbul, Turkey.
