Synopsis

12 year-old Gül becomes possessed by Satan after experimenting with an Ouija board. A troubled psychiatrist and an experienced exorcist become the girl’s only hope for salvation.

Our take

William Friedkin’s cult horror classic undergoes a cultural metamorphosis in Metin Erksan’s low-budget adaptation, crafted just a year after the original. Infused with local motifs and Islamic symbolism, The Turkish Exorcist offers a fascinating insight into the nuances of Fantastic Turkish Cinema.
