Destere

About This Movie

Destere is a curious blend of dark comedy and horror. Set in Thrace, it opens with Hayrettin and Hayati, two farmers who find themselves trapped in a basement. The atmosphere is unsettling yet absurd, highlighted by a chilling tape from a serial killer that sets the tone. The pacing can be a bit uneven, with some moments dragging, but it adds to that sense of dread and absurdity. The practical effects feel low-budget yet effective; they give a raw edge that's often missing in more polished films. The performances, especially from the leads, capture that mix of confusion and dark humor well. It's these elements, combined with an offbeat storytelling style, that make it a standout, albeit niche, entry in the genre.
