Siccîn 3: The Curse of Love (2016) (Turkey)

⭐️⭐️1/2


Sedat is best friends with Orhan who is married to his (Sedat’s, not his own, ya weirdo) sister Kader. There’s been a few rough patches (Sedat’s wife died during childbirth, Orahn’s job seems to be turning him distant) but at the end of the day love of the family is persevering, at least until Orahn fires a man named Halil for smoking around hazardous materials on the job site... again. Halil has some bad debt stacked up and kills himself. Orahn feels terrible... and he’s about to feel a shit-ton worse when Halil’s wife (well, widow) overcome with grief, curses him. It starts off with a car accident involving Sedat, Kader and his son. The boy is left paralyzed, Kader seems to have amnesia and Sedat is drowning in guilt. Orahn blames his former best friend and refuses to talk to him. Of course, the melodramatic family issues give birth to some supernatural shenanigans when it’s discovered that demons are fucking with everyone around Ohran for some reason. He’s definitely up to something but I’ll leave that to you to figure out. Weaker entry to the Siccîn series is a bit too disjointed for its own good, lacks the the nasty edge of the prior entries and keeps it all vague out of necessity for the climax to work. There are a couple fun jump scares and a pretty cool demon plus the climactic gut punch is enjoyable. If the film had been as good as its climax, this third entry may have been the best of its series; instead it’s a middling effort, barely saved by the final act.
