Synopsis

5 friends take a road trip to visit the caves within the Gomeda valley. Little do they know that these caves are still haunted by memories of torture that took place in the past. As they get closer, one by one, their dreams turn into nightmares, their nightmares turn into hallucinations, and their hallucinations turn into reality until the line between real and surreal exists no more: The valley begins to resemble the mother's womb, and the caves begin to resemble the umbilical cord between the mother and her unborn child. The memories of torture give way to the ever-haunting presence of guilt and regret that could only be felt by a mother.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
aysegulkremata This movie is unique, I was browsing the comments and I don't believe people claiming that it had Cliché scenes? You either have no idea what a cliché is or you're clearly lying about the movie. Gomeda is one of the most unique movies, the scenes and the screenplay are both so original and creative that I myself being a movie freak and as a cinema student have never seen such scenes requiring an amazing imagination and also experience and education. Its originality distinguishes it from the other Cliché movies where you just watch and do not need to use your brain at all. I know people seeing the movie 3 times and still giving a thought to its original scenes which finally gives the audience a chance to think.Thinking after watching a movie is something that we unfortunately are not used at all. The movie takes you to journey as if you're asleep and dreaming nightmares and it makes you to leave your social role and touches the hidden parts of the human thought. it's time to learn and appreciate some beautiful art.Perfect, just perfect.
fotosentes 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!
makitr 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.
melihdes An amazing experience for the Turkish cinema. Some hates and condemns it some loves it. After Gomeda, Turkish audience will be a little more open minded about new ideas in cinema, since the recent movies mostly were the same in terms of the storyline, actors and the low quality with cheap belly dancing involved music. I guess these factors are somehow entertaining for some people and nobody criticizes them. But Gomeda increased the future expectations from Turkish cinema. The movie is not trying to create a sympathy with the audience to get appreciated, just like an artist doing his art for the sake of art, not according to the people's needs. Gomeda has nothing to do with anything cliché and it enhances its audiences' imagination limits. Very well done.
