THE FILM YOU ARE ABOUT TO WATCH IS ONLY A PERSONAL INTERPRETATION OF THE EVENTS.

THE INTERPRETATION OF HORROR OF THE UNKNOWN BEINGS

MAY AFFECT MORE SENSITIVE MINDS. - HASAN KARACADAĞ

I am Duceyye el Arabi, the son of Nusred Bin Zahir of the Kufa lineage.

Reading this warning that I have written on this skin of the gazelle,

hunted by desert hyenas and still wet with bloodstains might be dangerous.

If you are in doubt, stay away. Dear Person Unknown,

I am calling out to you

from the twilit, fading crypt of the beyond with its pungent smell,

the forbidden dungeons in the unknown land of Azzakra

where I have been hastily stowed in by djinn-beings as old as time.

I know that my powerless body will rot in this dark passage,

chained by the spells of insidious and leprous spirits

that no sane person could even hope to comprehend.

If the sharp-teethed, hungry rats of Azzakra

that are unlike any other creature do not gnaw this parchment

and the musty dungeon stones, behind which I am hidden, do not rot them

read, listen and watch.

Ours is a universe whose flesh were torn, and was subjected to malign terrors.

Take a look at the shadows, the ones that are hidden in the forgotten corners

of this universe corrupt enough to warrant curses.

Take a good look at the heretic djinn lurking in terrible saffron colored dawns,

whose name should not be uttered.

Our memories, paralyzed due to heavy torment

will once again be invaded by the old.

The day of their return is near.

The curtain hiding the old ones, slave to the Satan, will be torn,

and all those hideous shudders and hateful nightmares will wake up,

attacking us with their notorious shrieking vipers.

O, the merciful person who reads these lines,

I swear the hour is near.

There will be no escape from Dabbetu'l-arz

on the day the space comes down like a black death

and watches you profanely with its gouged-out only eye.

Know that, by reading this parchment, you attained forbidden information.

Convey this information to everyone before the cobwebs of Dabbe catch hold of you,

so that you can be saved.

388@0 CALLING

What the hell?

Just work normally for once!

You piece of shit.

STAND BY - SHUT DOWN - RESTART

SHUT DOWN

Shut down!

SHUT DOWN

Come on, shut down!

SHUT DOWN

God, this is driving me insane!

What the hell?

Dabbetu'l-arz.

388@0.

388@0.

What's going on?

Melis.

What's wrong with the Internet? The modem connects somewhere and locks up.

I'm paying a fortune and can't even send an e-mail.

I haven't downloaded anything. I don't get it.

What about a virus from all the weird sites you surf on, Ilhan?

I surf on weird sites? Not true at all.

Well, I'm not using the Internet as much as you do.

Whatever. I can't find my phone. Can you give me a ring?

I wonder if she called.

I would have heard.

And it's not even 8:00 pm yet.

But she said they'd be here around 8:00, 8:30. Maybe I should get going.

Suit yourself.

-Is something wrong, Melis? -No.

-Melis, tell me. -Nothing's wrong, Ilhan!

I'm just a bit nervous. I don't know. I'm anxious.

-Did we have that long talk for nothing? -Don't give me a hard time.

Go, pick them up. They must have arrived by now.

Are you going to meet them with this face?

Even if I'm all smiley, I'm sure your precious daughter

will do her best to cause a scene.

Melis, why are you so being so negative? She's just a child.

And she misses her dead mom. Can you imagine being in Funda's shoes?

She's 18, Ilhan! Some kid.

Melis, Funda is my daughter.

If you can't accept her coming to see her dad on holidays...

I can't accept it?

You said it yourself. She's coming to see you.

And don't treat me like I'm the evil step-mom.

I'm trying to be friends with her.

I try to understand her and make peace. But what does she do?

She could have studied here, but she moved to Izmir.

-Because she hates me. -You're being ridiculous.

Honey...

We talked about this. It's going to be okay.

If you were the much hated step-mom, would she bring her friends here?

-But... -Honey...

Please make an effort.

She'll meet us along the way. It's going to be okay, I promise. Okay?

Okay.

I'm sorry.

But...

This happened again a few minutes ago.

Hello? Have you arrived, sweetie?

They have.

Okay, I'll pick you up by the bridge. Hello?

Disconnected.

They'll be by the bridge at the junction. It'll be 10 minutes, max. Come with me.

-I need to set the table. -I'm sure everything's delicious.

I guess.

It'll be okay. Trust my instincts. Everything will be great.

Don't idle around. They must be here.

Hello?

Ilhan, is that you?

Hello?

I think I'm losing my mind.

What the hell is this?

What's going on?

Who is it?

Help!

Help!

Who is it?

Let me in.

Help me.

Could you go away? I can't open the door.

They are coming.

They are coming!

Ilhan!

Ilhan, there's someone at the door.

I can't hear you. Ilhan, something's wrong here. I'm so scared.

Ilhan, come back home right now! Can you hear me?

Ilhan, someone's trying to get in.

Melis?

We're going to the pool tomorrow, and then to the spring.

-Melis! -I'm putting the bags here.

Melis!

Honey, what happened? Baby...

-Snap out of it. What's wrong? -Ilhan.

Ilhan, there's something in the house.

-I swear it was here. I saw it. -What are you talking about Melis?

I don't know what it was or how it got in. It was really weird and black.

I heard voices in the walls and doors. Look at the place. It did this.

It came towards me from there, from the darkness.

Melis, calm down, honey.

Calm down? I'm telling you, something attacked me!

Look at me. I'm still shivering.

She's lost it.

Come, sit down.

It's okay. Everything's fine.

Breathe deeply. Okay?

Funda, get her some water.

-Where is it? -In the kitchen. Where else?

Go!

It made strange, terrible sounds, Ilhan.

I swear, it was here. Someone knocked on the door right after you left

and asked for help.

He sounded ill. He said, "They're coming."

I got scared and didn't open the door. And then...

Here, drink this first.

You guys wait here. I'll check upstairs.

Guys, I'm so sorry, but there really was something here.

Why is the picture of me and my mom on the floor?

Funda.

-You think I'm stupid? -What?

You're making this up because you don't want me here.

Do I look like an idiot?

What? Why would I do something like this?

Look, I'm not a big fan of you either. Got it?

Don't act crazy just because I'm here. I can read your face.

Funda, that's enough!

What's going on? Why are you yelling, Funda?

Dad, she's lying through her teeth. There's no one here! She's faking it!

Funda, show her some respect.

Teach her some manners first.

She's humiliating me in front of my friends.

Funda! Cut it out, or...

-Are you going to hit me, dad? -Ilhan, no!

I told you guys. She was nice to me the last time, too, when dad was around,

but acted like I wasn't there when he wasn't.

And now, this!

Mom's probably crying in her grave

because you replaced her with this psycho. Shame on you, dad!

Ilhan!

You're being unfair. She loves you like I do.

And she wanted you to be here.

Now, show your friends their rooms. We'll talk about this later.

Please.

I'm leaving and I won't be back before I die!

What? Don't make me mad!

-Guys, we're leaving. Come on, Ece. -You're being impolite. Come here!

I don't want to be in this house.

I don't want to see you or that woman. It's all because of you!

You ruined our lives for your pleasure. What kind of dad are you?

Calm down, and then you can go wherever you want.

I wanna get the hell out of here right now.

And I won't forgive you, ever.

Is everything going the way you planned? Are you happy? Tell me, you scum!

Enough!

-What's wrong? -Ece, what happened?

I saw something behind the glass when I pulled the curtain back.

-What was it? -It was weird.

Big and black. It hit the glass.

-Okay, could it be a dog? -It wasn't a dog! It was horrible!

-Ece, calm down. It's okay. -Don't freak out. I'll go check.

Nothing.

There's woods across the house. Maybe you saw an animal.

I'm telling the truth, I swear.

Why are you looking at me like that? I saw something there.

I haven't seen anything like that, ever.

It wasn't animal or human. It was black and weird. It moved.

Okay, calm down, Ece. We'll figure it out.

It's alright, Ece.

-We saw the same thing, Ilhan. -What the hell?

Uncle Ilhan, look at the sky.

Strange.

What's that, really? Looks like storm clouds.

Looks like smoke, but... Maybe an explosion in the city?

Or an earthquake?

Because we heard things on the way, too.

No. The smoke would go up instead of down if it were an explosion.

Whatever this is, it moves really weird and fast.

It's so odd.

I wanna get out of here, Funda. I'm so scared.

Let's call for help and tell someone. Please!

Honey, don't panic. It's alright, Ece. Calm down.

-What was that? -What's happening?

It came down. The black smoke grew.

Look up!

It's alright, Ece. It's okay.

-It's okay. -What's going on?

Don't be afraid, honey. It's going to be alright.

Don't freak out. Calm down.

Where are you going?

-I'll look outside. -No! Stay away from the window.

I need to figure this out. Go with the others. Come on!

It might be an earthquake. Be careful!

It's not an earthquake. Something's out there.

Okay, don't stand in the open. Get under something.

Hide somewhere and don't go out!

The TV. Why aren't we turning it on?

Right. We'll find out if it's an earthquake or war.

You're right, but stay there!

I'll turn it on.

What on earth? I can't change the channel.

How is this possible?

Oh, my God!

Is that Istanbul?

What are those? Look at the state the streets are in.

This can't be real.

What are we going to do? Just sit and wait here?

The telephone! My parents!

It's not working. Does anyone's? Please, I need to call my parents.

-Mine doesn't either. -There's no signal.

God, please don't let anything happen to my parents!

Let's try the landline.

-Where is it? -There.

This isn't working, either.

What are we going to do? Please don't let anything happen to my mom and my sister!

Ece, try to calm down. Everyone's okay, alright?

If we can fend for ourselves, so can our families.

Don't worry.

Don't worry? Look at the TV!

We all have families, but you're the only one freaking out!

You're overreacting. We don't even know what happened.

Phones are dead, we can't go out. Remember the noises outside?

Overreacting, right.

It's going to be okay, honey. Don't worry.

-Doesn't seem like it! -Listen to me!

There's nothing to do but wait it out calmly right now.

We don't know what's happening. Look at the state of Istanbul.

Might be a war. Might even be a nuclear strike.

I'm sure someone from the government will make a statement.

Look out!

What's going on?!

-Dad! -Be quiet! Stop screaming!

Okay, calm down. It's over.

We're all here. The power's out, that's all.

We're okay. Don't worry.

There's a flashlight in the bottom drawer of the console.

Okay, let's light the candles first.

Okay. I'll get the flashlight. You guys stay together.

Stay calm.

Where did you say the flashlight was?

In the other room.

-I'll go with you. -No, stay with them!

Get a light.

Get a light.

Guys, I know it's hard, but let's try to calm down and relax.

Think positive thoughts, okay? Maybe that thing will just go away.

I'm still shivering. What if those things at the door get in again?

Okay, honey. Please don't freak out.

We'll die for sure, like the people on TV.

Ece, you're the most negative person I've ever met.

You're all doom and gloom! I'm sick of it!

Stop it!

Don't tell me to be positive under these circumstances.

At least don't be difficult.

Haven't you seen what happened to people? Those black, weird things are everywhere.

I'm sure something monstrous is going on.

-And I can't reach my family. -And we can?

-Murat, I think you should be quiet. -Fine.

I'll start thinking like you guys.

Maybe it's doomsday or aliens, spirits or demons

have taken over the world, killed everyone and will torture...

What are you, a psycho? Shut up, okay?

Guys, please!

Let's all calm down!

It's alright, Ece. It's okay.

It's okay.

I don't know what we saw.

Must be a natural disaster, or a war. Otherwise there'd be no sirens.

I don't think that was sirens, dad.

-What, then? -How should I know?

Maybe someone's telling us to run for the shelters.

If that's it, we don't have a shelter. So we have two options.

Either stay here or go into the town.

I think going out's more dangerous.

And where would we find shelter even if we get to the town? We're safe here.

How can we be safe when those thigs can get in?

Yes, we saw the black things, but maybe they won't hurt us.

She said they'd attacked her!

I did, and you called me a two-face liar. Remember?

-Okay, I'm sorry. -Don't start again, for God's sake.

-Are we going out or not? -I don't know. I'm thinking.

-What are you thinking? -I'm stuck. I can't figure it out.

-Shouldn't we try to reach someone? -How?

As Melis said, it's better to stay in here for now.

But I'll still check outside.

At least we'll have an idea about what's happening. Okay?

It's pitch dark outside. I can't see anything.

You're not opening the door, right?

There. I saw it.

-Where is it? Show me. -Right there.

By the stairs.

Something inside the smoke was looking at us. So weird...

I can't describe it. It was horrible. There was something in the smoke.

They're inside.

-You guys stay here. -Dad!

Dad, be careful.

It's back!

Get away!

Get away, honey!

Ece!

Ece!

Melis! Are you okay?

-I'm fine. Guys, are you okay? -Funda. Ece.

-No! -Ece, it's okay. It's alright.

We're all going to die. What was that?

Why is no one's coming to help us? My parents.

Ece, don't freak out. Nothing's going to happen to anyone.

Nothing's going to happen to anyone.

Horrible things will happen. I know it. No one's coming to help us.

Didn't you see that? We're all going to die here.

-We're going to die! -Calm down.

Ece...

Ece...

Ece, stop! Ece...

Blood!

-What is it? -Blood!

-Don't freak out. -Our noses are bleeding!

-Calm down, honey. -What is this?

-Murat! -What's wrong, Murat?

llhan! Ilhan!

-Honey, what's wrong? -My chest is so tight!

-Breathe! -I think it did something to us.

I vomited blood! What's happening to us? We've been poisoned!

God, please. I want to get out of here!

The blood's not stopping!

-We're infected with something! -No one's infected!

The ringing must've made our noses bleed.

Nothing's going to happen to anyone.

I'll be right back. Calm down!

Why is this happening? Why is no one helping us?

Mommy!

I want my mom!

I'm so scared. What are we going to do?

Will no one help us? God, please let it be over.

Ece, don't freak out. Nothing's going to happen to anyone.

I want to see my mom and my sister.

Ece, don't freak out. Calm down.

Please, God!

-God! -Take these rags.

Come.

Okay, com here.

-Dad? -What, honey?

Remember what you told me when mom died?

You said...

people take shelter in God

in most difficult times, whether they have faith or not.

Do you remember that?

I do, sweetie.

I prayed just now. But why is no one answering it?

-Ece! -Ece, what's wrong?

Ece!

Get some water!

Breathe!

-Ece! -Give it to me.

-Drink this! Ece! -I can't!

-Why? -I don't know!

-Ilhan, we have to do something. -Don't freak out. Calm down.

-My stomach! -What is it?

-Ece! -Help me!

-I'm going to be sick. -The bathroom...

Funda, take her to the bathroom. Melis, you go with them.

What are you going to do?

Stay calm. I'll go upstairs to get some meds.

I thought no one was going anywhere alone.

I said, stay calm. Don't panic. Stay together.

Dad, be careful!

Who are you?

What are you?

What the hell do you want?

I'm not scared of you!

Why are you here?

I'm not scared!

Come on, face me!

-What's wrong? -Dad! I don't know.

She collapsed after she'd thrown up in the sink!

-What is it? -There's something in her mouth.

-What? -I saw it! It crawled out and in again!

What the hell?

-God, I'm going insane. -It's horrible.

Ece, honey!

Ece!

Stay calm!

-Ece! She' going out. -Ece, stop!

Ece! She's out.

I'm not going. What's going on here?

-Calm down. -Where are you going?

Aren't we going after her? We have to save her.

-Okay, calm down. -Aren't we going outside?

She's not herself. She doesn't know what she's doing.

Calm down. You have to stay here with them.

-I'll go look for her, okay? -Alright.

Dad, don't go!

Ilhan, you can't leave us. Please.

Melis, I have to find her.

How? You don't even know which way she went.

Yes, dad. Please, let's go together. What if something happens to you?

Honey, nothing's going to happen.

Ece might come back here. You should stay.

I need to find her before she gets far.

Ilhan!

Dad, help!

-Funda, where are you? -I'm here, dad!

She's here, Ilhan! Don't let go of my hand, Ilhan! Help me!

-I can't hold her! -I'm here. Funda, where are you?

-Dad, help me! -Melis!

-Dad, help! Don't let me go! -Where are you?

Ilhan, help me! I can't hold her much longer!

-Don't let go of me, dad! -I can't find you. Where are you?

God, help us!

Ilhan, Funda's slipping!

Dad!

-Ilhan, Funda's gone. -Where is my daughter?

-Funda! -Funda!

-Where is Funda, Melis! -She's gone!

-She's gone! -God, help me! Funda!

Funda!

-Ece! -Funda!

Ece!

-Funda! Ece! -Funda!

-Funda! -Funda!

-Funda, honey! Where are you? -Funda!

Funda!

-Funda! -Funda!

Where are you?

Honey!

Dad!

Dad, there's something inside me!

Help me, dad!

-Dad! -God, help us!

Help me, dad!

Honey...

Dad!

It's going to be alright, sweetie.

God, help us! Help my daughter.

Save my daughter. Help us, God!

Ece! Funda!

Ece! Funda!

Ece...

Breathe.

Just breathe.

Funda?

Funda?

Funda!

Melis!

My daughter's dead.

No!

They're here.

They're coming.

They're here. They're coming.

Come on, damn it!

What do you want? I'm not afraid of you!

God!

What's this torment?

Why are you making us suffer?

Why didn't you help us?

God!

I don't believe in you!

I don't believe in you!

I don't believe in you!

Why have you forsaken us?

THE WALL IS TORN DOWN IT SEES YOU NOW
