It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

One of the worst films I have ever seen! After watching it i walk out like, what happened? I am confused to this day, can someone explain that movie to me please? both the acting and picture quality are so bad ,you'll think you're watching someone's school project made with a home camcorder. First,I can not believe that how some people could give 10 star to this movie.Because,.it's unbelievably bad movie! This movie isn't scary at all! There is even no Typical horror clichés,too. The plot and acting of This movie was terrible. It's not,fantastic,surrealistic or horror,It's just hideously bad Turkish feature film.And finally there were a lot of unnecessary scenes and unnecessary characters. When I watch 'Gomeda' I fell into so hopeless,so sad for young Turkish movie maker.Please,please don't make 'cinema' like this!

FIrst of all, Gomeda is NOT a horror film. It is a film made by a writer/director who has followed horror and surrealist cinema very closely. He is the author of a book titled "The Psychoanalysis of Horror Cinema". He has created a work of art that expresses his surrealist ideas and pays tribute to some of the greatest of the genre of surrealist and horror film, particularly 80's horror. This tribute is done at times seriously, and at times with tongue-in- cheek. Almost all negative comments about this film are because of people who were expecting "the next big horror film" and instead were exposed to writer/director Tan Tolga Demirci's subconscious. Of course, having seen the film, his subconscious is indeed a very unique place to be in so the experience of seeing GOMEDA is NOT pure entertainment. Instead, it is a roller-coaster ride through symbols, images and vignettes that are part of the style of Tan Tolga Demirci. Turkey has had its share of "horror" films coming out in the recent years. These films have relied heavily on ads and press releases that have pushed the "horror" concept so far that some filmmakers have obnoxiously claimed their film will make history, as we saw with the film "Araf", which, by the way, is now on IMDb's worst 10 list of all time. Naturally, public in Turkey has been through repeated insults of expecting "the next great Turkish horror film" but experiencing only Rip-offs of J-horror. In a culture that wants to befriend its local film industry and cinematic heritage, people get excited to discover "the next great Turkish horror film". Naturally, those expecting GOMEDA to be the saviour of their expectations, instead saw the vision of a filmmaker inspired by Bunuel, Svankmajer, Jean Vigo, and, of course, 80's horror films. Gomeda was Number 1 at the box office on its opening weekend. Online forums are flooded with praises for this film, and already discussions have ensued where people have started to breakdown the film, scene-by-scene, and analyze its contents and subtle nuances. Gomeda flows with the love for cinema and the love for the greatest artisans of this craft. Tan Tolga Demirci is sharing this love with us, as well as his psyche, and is breaking the 4th wall of Turkish cinema, where the audience is no longer a bystander, but an active participant in a young genius' mind. So is Tan Tolga Demirci.

This film blew me away! I can guarantee that this film will reach cult status all over the world. There already is a huge following of Turkish fantasy films across the world, and this will be the latest addition to fans of the genre. This film holds our hand and takes us on a journey that is as if being in someones dreams and nightmares. But the nightmares aren't supposed to be scary. You know the feeling how you see weird dreams but you just observe and see what happens next? That's how this film feels. And there is a scene where literally a woman holds a man's hand and takes him on a journey. Tan Tolga Demirci has made many short films and has won many awards which are not listed on IMDb but you can see them at sinematurk.com or other Turkish film sites. This is his first feature length film and a very successful one! He has put together an ambitious film with an ambitious cast and crew and with very little time or money to shoot this film. But the result is very true to his vision and is very sincere in its statements on surrealism. I hope that this film will receive many rewards at many film festivals across the globe and that soon enough we will be treated to Tan Tolga Demirci's second feature length film. I am so glad that Turkish cinema now has a gem like Gomeda. After so many cheap productions that only tried to appeal to masses and TV audiences, we finally have Gomeda which is very different from anything that the Turkish audience is used to seeing. I felt like I was watching a Jodorowsky movie.

I was waiting for this movie to open for a long time and I finally saw it this weekend. I was absolutely amazed at how intelligent and inspiring this film is. The story takes us on a surreal journey and it's full of pleasant but extraordinary vignettes. This film will challenge its audience because it treats its audience with respect, unlike other recent Turkish thrillers that rely on cheap scares and superficial stories. The director is Tan Tolga Demirci, the set design is by Kaan Guresci, cinematography is by Ilker Berke and music is by Semih Tareen. These four people did an amazing job, all these elements, direction, images, music seemed to be in perfect harmony. They were the best I've seen from Turkish cinema, since 'Distant" by Nuri Bilge Ceylan. Already this film has created quite a controversy, people either hate it and shun it or love it and talk about it and discuss it for hours. I absolutely loved it!! GOMEDA is fresh blood for Turkish cinema.
