What is Kıble: Bitlisli Belkıs about?
After a dark tragedy leaves them orphaned, three young sisters seek refuge with Bitlisli Belkıs, a feared folk healer rumored to communicate with djinn and known throughout the region for helping pregnant women through supernatural means. But when their aunts turn them away for good, the sisters' search for shelter drags an ancient evil along with them — one that will test Belkıs's powers as much as their own survival.

Critic Reviews
Kıble: Bitlisli Belkıs Review: Folk Horror With Atmosphere but No Follow-Through
★½☆☆☆
A promising Anatolian folk-horror premise about a djinn-communing healer collapses under flat pacing and cut-rate scares.
Interesting folklore, forgettable execution.
