Turkish cinema has always been well-known for the rip-offs it makes and VAHSET KASIRGASI is, somewhat bizarrely, their homegrown version of the '70s Spanish horror A CANDLE FOR THE DEVIL. The plotline is identical with, I guess, Islam replacing the oppressive Catholicism of the original film. Once again the storyline concerns a couple of middle-aged sisters who, along with running a hotel in the middle of nowhere, kill off any guests they suspect of being immoral. There's some brief nudity and some gore which comes across as hardly convincing, but most notable is the music being openly stolen from HALLOWEEN (in the main) and even GHOST BUSTERS!
