Şeytan is a 1974 Turkish cult horror film based on William Friedkin’s The Exorcist (1973), directed by Metin Erksan, featuring Canan Perver as a 12-year-old girl named Gul, living a high society life with her mother in Istanbul, who becomes possessed by the Devil himself after experimenting with a Ouija Board. The film, which went on nationwide general release across Turkey on November 1, 1974, is commonly known as "Turkish Exorcist" because of plot and stylistic similarities copied from The Exorcist.

The film was apparently shot with a low budget, resulting in a grainy and poor image quality. Şeytan was out of print until 2007, when it was released in DVD.
