‘A Quiet Place’: One of the Best Modern Horror Movies
Rather than following in the footsteps of poorly made horror flicks, “The Quiet Place” follows original concept.
Azap
Ayşin, a young teacher, conducts internet research on the village to which she has been assigned and comes across terrifying news stories about incidents involving jinns in the past. At a farewell party organized for Ayşin by her friends, a discussion on this topic turns into an argument, and a session of summoning jinns with a cup leads to tense and frightening moments from which there is no escape. Ayşin arrives at the village only at night and, after a short journey filled with uneasy and mysterious moments, stays as a guest with Fatma Ana. Ayşin learns from Fatma Ana that the village is preparing for a wedding. After falling asleep on the first night, Ayşin wakes up each time to relive the night, experiencing three nights filled with terrifying and tense nightmares so convincing she cannot distinguish them from reality. Ayşin, who tries to escape the village, will realize that the wedding preparations are being made for her own torment.

‘Minari’: Authenticity Without The Trauma Porn
When diverse representation is featured on-screen, it oftentimes comes with strings attached that undermine the message they were trying to send. This can be attributed to the fact that behind-the-screen, the industry primarily does not reflect the breadth of diverse difference that is present in daily life. That’s why when something as powerful and authentic as Minari comes along, it is both incredibly wonderful and needs a large audience to witness it.
