Dhaka:Turkish horror film 'Soy', which has recently drawn attention following its release in Turkey, is set to hit cinemas in Bangladesh on November 13. Star Cineplex is bringing the supernatural horror film to local audiences.
According to United News of Bangladesh, 'Soy' is directed by Maxim Alexandre and revolves around a family curse, ancient Egyptian mysteries, evil forces, and a mysterious mansion. The story begins with the looting of an ancient Egyptian tomb nearly 60 years ago, where a man named Murat discovers an ancient painting, unknowingly unleashing a terrifying curse.
The curse leads to Murat being separated from his family and spending his life confined to a dark mansion in Istanbul. As Murat lies on his deathbed years later, he summons his grandson Can to the mansion. Can, the central character, travels to the family's mysterious old residence with his girlfriend Basak and a group of friends.
Their visit soon turns into a nightmare as a thick fog isolates the mansion from the outside world. Gradually, the dark secrets of the family's past begin to emerge, revealing the connection between the mansion and the ancient Egyptian curse. The evil force awakens once again through the cursed painting, triggering distrust, betrayal, and a series of supernatural attacks among the friends.
As the horrifying events unfold, Basak faces a crucial decision that could determine the future of the entire family. The film combines ancient Egyptian mysteries with a contemporary Turkish horror narrative, building suspense around an isolated mansion, hidden family secrets, and an evil force passed down through generations.
Moving beyond the jinn-based narratives often associated with Turkish horror, 'Soy' explores the themes of ancient curses, psychological fear, and family secrets.
