10 Most Ridiculous Turksploitation Movie Rip-offs Ever

The Turkish remake of "The Exorcist” is about 12-year-old girl named Gül, who gets possessed by Satan through an ouijab and now her last hope is a psychiatrist and an exorcist!

Shot by shot, scene by scene, just about every facet from the original script including the soundtrack was used for this remake of the Friedkins classic. The main difference is that instead of priests, you have imams as the exorcists; also the Bible becomes the Quran, and that’s where the changes pretty much end.

Despite the obvious shortcomings in budget and technicalities, one of the reasons for the film’s surprising competency is due to the wealth of tension and suspense infused into the adaptation by director Metin Erksan, as a way to cover up some of the dodgy special effects. 

As a whole, Seytan isn’t half as bad for a rip off and can certainly be enjoyed as an unintentional dark comedy. It is certainly rough around the edges and has its fair share of inadequacies but it nonetheless holds its own as a worthy counterpart to the original - inadvertently due to the film’s raw look which gives it a ’70s grindhouse feel, something akin to Wes Craven’s earlier works.
