Alper Mestçi directed the 2016 Turkish horror film Siccîn 3: Cürmü Aşk (The Crime Is Love). As the third film in the Siccîn series, it continues from Siccîn 2. It was made under the Muhteşem Film banner with Muhteşem Tözüm as producer and distributed by The Moments Entertainment. The film opened on September 2, 2016, and sold 277,596 tickets in Turkey, earning about 2.98 million lira.

The story centers on Orhan and Sedat, friends since childhood. Years later Orhan falls in love with Sedat's sister Kader and marries her. A car accident involving Sedat splits the three lives apart: Sedat's son Mehmet is left paralyzed, while Kader can no longer remember her past. Orhan blames Sedat and cuts every tie. Sedat falls apart under guilt and strange, frightening events, while Orhan, unwilling to lose Kader, his first and only love, takes a terrible path. The film uses the language of horror to ask what a person will endure for love.

The cast has Adnan Koç as Orhan, Büşra Ayaydın as Kader, Cem Uslu as Sedat and Yavuz Çetin as Veysel Hoca, with Nevin Efe and Yavuz Pekdiker in support. Mestçi wrote the script with Bekir Acar, Reşit Gözdamla composed the music and Serdar Armutlu was director of photography.

Through different eyes

Action & Thriller Fan Puts pace, tension and set pieces first; little patience for slow drama.

The third film of the Siccîn series, a sequel to Siccîn 2. A car accident, a father whose son is left paralyzed, a woman who cannot remember her past and Orhan taking a terrible path for love: an intriguing set-up. Going in without the earlier films may not be a good idea. Since drama is also among its genres, the pace may sag at times; those who want their horror fast should take note. The stakes are high all the same, since the path Orhan takes ratchets up the tension.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humor and heart.

This is a horror film and is not for watching with children. There are frightening events, paralysis, memory loss and a dark love story; little ones may get scared and teenagers should be prepared. If you want an evening film to watch as a family, look elsewhere. Even among adults it may be upsetting for those who dislike horror. Recommended only to adults who like horror.

Cinephile Looks at script, editing and directing choices; keeps a distance from formula films.

Being the third film means carrying the burden of a sequel: it has to connect to the earlier films and still stand on its own. Treating the question of what one can endure for love in the language of horror is an interesting intent, but balancing horror, drama, thriller and mystery in one film is hard, and if one outweighs the rest the genre mix gets blurred. The atmosphere is expected to be carried by cinematographer Serdar Armutlu and, in the music, Reşit Gözdamla. A ready road for the series audience, an incomplete entry point for new viewers; hard to judge as a standalone film. Still, it is fair to say it has an intent of its own.
