Turkey’s low-budget horror flicks boom


Turkey (Turkey) (AFP) – Kneeling before a chalk star outside his tumbledown house, an old man performs a ritual to rid himself of evil spirits — which many superstitious Turks believe exist. Perched behind the camera, director Metin Kuru tries to encourage the actor to convey the sheer agony of being possessed by a genie. But there won’t be many takes, because Kuru needs to finish his film fast to feed Turkey’s voracious appetite for low-budget horror flicks, with a new supernatural chiller released every week.
