Semum

Semum is a 2008 Turkish horror film that Hasan Karacadağ wrote, produced, and directed. Reportedly inspired by real events involving a woman in İzmir, the story centers on Islamic beliefs about tormenting devils, setting it apart from typical jinn-themed horror by focusing on metaphysical evil and questions of faith within a largely secular society.

The cast includes Ayça İnci, Burak Hakkı, Bahtiyar Engin, and Levent Sülün as Ali. Drawing roughly 334,000 admissions in Turkish theaters, the film is regarded as one of the notable entries in 2000s Turkish horror cinema.
