Büyü (The Spell) is a 2004 Turkish horror film directed by Orhan Oğuz.

Though the film was a surprise box office success, it received very poor reviews.

Plot

A group of archeologists go into a ghost village that is cursed by its past. They ignore the warnings of the natives, but soon after they arrive, terror strikes. Weird bugs come out of flames to bite Cemil, Ayadan is raped by an invisible force (she awakes from it like a dream), babies are heard crying in the air, and more unnerving incidents occur. After the unexpected murder by decapitation of Cemil, the group finally bands together to try to take on the evil forces lurking around every corner.

Cast

Popularity of Ece Uslu's Rape on Youtube

Though the film is literally unheard of in western countries (USA, Canada, Mexico). One of the most popular clips of the film on YouTube and other video hosting websites is the rape of Ayadan. Most start at the rape right away and end with her gazing up at the camera (the force's P.O.V) in fear. Some start with Ayse being disturbed in her sleep while cutting back to Aydan being disturbed as well. These versions of the popular clip also end with an extended ending to the scene with the horses escaping the town while we hear the sounds Aydan's climaxing breathing over it as it goes into the next day.

Reception & "Curse"

The film is also considered one of the worst films in Turkey and cursed. However, the rumors of the film's "curse" are one of the main reasons for its surprising success. One can probably connect this rumor's start with the event of the theater burning down on opening night.
