Rising from a pitch-black pit of hell, Semum sets his sights on an earthly target: Canan. The quiet, peaceful life that Canan and her husband Volkan dreamed of in their newly moved home is soon shattered. Driven by cruel and malevolent intent, Semum begins a slow and terrifying transformation, turning Canan into something no longer human. As hellish nightmares bleed into reality, Satan’s most loyal servant Semum, takes possession of Canan’s body. Why has this innocent woman been chosen as his target? And will the gates of hell opened for an ordinary human ever be closed?

Semum is a 2008 Turkish horror film produced, written and directed by Hasan Karacadağ which reportedly recounts the true story of a woman who lives in İzmir, Turkey.

The story is based on Islamic beliefs about devils (Şeytanlar), who torment their victim. In contrast to Islamic jinn films, the movie focuses on metaphysical evil (Satan or demons) and deals with questions regarding the existence of God in a secular Muslim majority society, instead of social transgressions.
