One hit-and-run pulls a young man into forces well beyond the law in this short, sharp Turkish horror feature.
What is Ifrit-i Cin about?
Aziz lives with epilepsy and carries the weight of a childhood shaped by his father's violence, a history that has already left his life feeling like a nightmare before anything supernatural enters the frame. Driving one day, he strikes a pregnant woman with his car, watches her and her unborn child die in front of him, and flees the scene rather than face what he has done. The husband she leaves behind responds by placing a death curse on everyone responsible for his loss, and it is not long before entities bound to that curse begin working their way into Aziz's world. His friends Can and İrem try to intervene, only to find themselves pulled into paranormal events they have no framework for handling. The story keeps its scale small and personal throughout, never widening beyond the handful of people caught in the aftermath of that single afternoon on the road.
About the cast
Burak Ergün stars as Aziz, with Eren Iskender, Kerem Kurt, and Canan Çaliskan in supporting roles; director Ertugrul Yüreklikul also appears on screen as part of the cast.
Context & significance
Ertugrul Yüreklikul both directs and acts in this 2023 Turkish horror production, a compact 60-minute feature that moves quickly from a single tragic accident to full paranormal escalation. The film sits squarely in a strain of Turkish horror built around folk curses and supernatural retribution, using a hit-and-run as the trigger for forces that operate outside any court's reach. With a runtime this short, the film has little room for a slow build, so it commits early to its central curse and pushes the escalation forward at a brisk pace.
