Which makes Alper Mestçi something of an anomaly.Writer-director Mestçi made his debut back in 2007 with horror effort Musallat (Haunted), and while he also has a couple of comedies to his credit he returned to horror with a 2011 sequel to his debut and now again with upcoming effort Siccin. The trailer for this one promises all manner of dark delights ... blood sacrifice, black magic, sinister cults ... if you...
