Şeytan ("Demoness") is a 1974 Turkish cult horror film directed by Metin Erksan that plagiarizes William Friedkin’s The Exorcist (1973).
The film was apparently shot with a low budget, resulting in a grainy and poor image quality, and is essentially a shot-for-shot remake of The Exorcist, with only minor differences. Şeytan was out of print until 2007, when it was released on DVD.
