‘Sayara’ Is Harrowing Revenge Horror That’s Ruthless & Relentless

Silence, steel, and a revenge that draws blood without blinking.

When Turkish cinema reaches European shores, it usually arrives dressed in festival robes - Nuri Bilge Ceylan, slow cinema, existential silence. Popular Turkish genre cinema remains largely invisible here, unless you're the sort of obsessive who idles on TRT channels. Can Evrenol isn't a complete unknown to genre press, but Sayara is the first time I've met his work head-on.It's hard to say precisely what this film says about Turkish society, but the message behind its story is hardly cryptic: an Uzbek cleaning woman exacts brutal revenge on the men who raped and murdered her sister. The film slots firmly into the rape-and-revenge lineage - but crucially, without the sleazy voyeurism that often stains the subgenre.Working without major resources and without flashy visual bravado (let's be honest: Revenge by Coralie Fargeat was the exception), Sayara finds its power in refusal. It refuses soft edges. It refuses comfort. It refuses distance. And while this level of directness should theoretically be expected in rape-and-revenge cinema, it's still startling - perhaps unfairly - to encounter it from a Turkish production.The violence lands as hard as its Western counterparts, but Sayara herself - mostly silent, wholly lethal - brings a kind of animal physicality the genre hasn't felt this raw in quite some time.

... Sayara (thought I'd say Zohan, didn't you? Well no pun intended then)! She seems like a wallflower ... someone who can't hurt a fly ... and maybe she doesn't ... I imagine she is someone who likes animals a lot more than she does people. Dark side and all that.I imagined also that this would have more hand to hand combat, but it does have more stabbing and close combat techniques ... if you know your martial arts you may like this more than others I assume. The moment someone messed with her sister, it is like they signed a Death Wish (see what I did there? Charles Bronson would be quite proud I reckon).All kidding aside, this is really not for anyone who is sensitive ... while it also contains violence of screen (head and other body parts bashing outside of the frame), it also has quite a lot of explicit violence ... in your face ... literally! If you are ok with that ... well knock yourself out (again no pun intended)
