Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
cindi-66289 This was a nice change and I loved the movie. Definitely worth watching. If you are a cookie-cutter type of person, this is not the typical American Horror or gore movie. It does have a story line and the actors are good. They are believable.It is refreshing to watch a movie that is not the same thing over and over. This isn't and it is rooted in legend which is awesome because it is not simply American legend. It is more about the story than simply the scare. Don't believe what others have written about it being bad. I think it depends on what people like. It is a good movie. Watch and see!
aldebaran68 The only reason I give it 4 is because I like both Aiysha Hart and Razane Jammal. Both did the best they could with a poor script and shoddy directing. As for 'horror'?, I didn't see any. Not even remotely. Just a lot of disjointed scenes, no atmosphere, no chemistry, nothing to talk about. I enjoyed Aiysha Hart in her scenes, speaking Arabic; those were high points of the film for me. poor Razane looked at sea most of the time. Shame. Could have been a much better film with more effort from the director, imagination and maybe even a bigger budget...? Most of the story was predictable. There was little emotional content even around the theme of the dead baby. There was no atmosphere to connect the so called 'horror' to any emotional response by the actors. All very disconnected.Worth watching for the Arabic language scenes.
saadforever890 I have been keenly awaiting the release of this film for a while now mainly as the film has been shot & takes place in U.A.E (where I reside) & is based around the legends of Jazeerat Al Hamra in Ras Al Khaimah! To add to the excitement, Tobe Hooper, the man behind Poltergeist & Texas Chain Saw series is directing this film. Unfortunately Djinn kinda disappointed me; the predictable plot, excessive use of not very good CGI & cliché jump scares was kind of fail. Tobe Hooper manages to create an intense environment & tries to build up the predictable suspense while throwing in some random sequences but ends up rushing into climax without any acknowledgement of what was actually happening! The actors did a fine job in certain sequences. Nevertheless given the budget & a fresh attempt on an almost unused supernatural anomaly, Djinn is not a terrible film, but could have been better though!
GLORIOUS Bill First of all it's scary as hell , I'm a big fan of horror movies I've seen everyone now but they weren't scary , but Dijinn scared me and got me SO excited puts you on the edge of your seats , people were screaming , but they were a couple of comedic scenes to give us a little bit of a rest and a laugh , most of the movie they speak English only a little Arabic , actors were not familiar but I knew a couple , they're acting was SO amazing they really did a good job at it , Al Hamra has a rich history with ghosts and dijinn and haunting in real life , nonetheless it's a must watch movie I give 10/10 , I would watch it a million times and I would never get bored , it's pretty short , but worth the time and money , thanks for reading
