ABOUT
SAYARA
After an act of callous injustice by a group of politically connected rich kids, a timid gym cleaner's hidden talents explode as she takes the law into her own hands in a brutal, bloody eruption of retribution.
From Turkey's foremost genre director who also helmed BASKIN and THE TURKISH COFFEE TABLE (which you can watch in the Horrorfest's streaming virtual festival chapter).
Written & Directed by Can Evrenol
Starring Duygu Kocabiyik, Emre Kizilirmak, Özgül Kosar, Caner Atacan
