Ammar Cin Tarikatı (or simply Ammar) is a 2015 Turkish horror film, that concerns a group of friends, that decides to spend a holiday in a distant house, in the countryside. When finally arriving there, dreadful and mysterious circumstances starts to happen, for the distress of the group. Despite the cliché premise of the beginning, you will find interesting the unusual and somewhat very well-mannered slow pace of the plot, that keeps the light of the mystery burning. But when time flows, and absolutely nothing happens, you start to feel tired.

The film per se it’s not bad at all, although you will not find in it something that you haven’t seen a thousand times before. But when almost all movie passes by you, with nothing interesting or relevant happening, you start thinking you’ve wasted your time. That’s the feeling the movie will give you, after thirty minutes. And some minutes later, you will feel even more bored.

The movie revolves around the Djinn creatures of Islamic mythology, and the implications their actions have, when they interact with humans. Although it is not a great movie, it is not mediocre either: if you struggle enough to watch to the end, you will be rewarded with a somewhat interesting ending, entwined in a curious plot twist, as the movie will not be as obvious as the plot would indirectly suggest you to think it is, and an intelligent conclusion will surprise you – at least a little – and make you think twice, when evaluating the movie, giving it the credits it deserves. 

It can be a very good movie if you watch it with the correct amount of patience, analyzing piece by piece its slow unwind of events, not creating great expectations about the history as a whole, although its conclusion can redeem its flaws, for its purpose seems somewhat credible and realistic, in the context in which it is happening.

It is not a bad movie, despite the overall cliché plotline, and the lack of a major central event. But we have to give credits to its production, tough: the movie in general is well done, the history has no major flaws, the actors and actresses involved are convincing. But don’t expect much more than that. In the end, your only consolation will be thinking that there are horror movies a lot worse than this.
