Devil Djinn

A movie that Just wants you to think it a part of the conjuring series to earn money, bad acting and bad special effects (zero) i could get more entertained by watching junkies go on a acid trip..

I think the 1s are a little bit over dramatic. Let's get that out of the way first.

You know what your getting with this. A time killer. You're not going to get an Oscar award winner here.

However. I felt the special effects were decent.the acting was "ok". The story was fairly well thought out. I don't exactly know what everyone's problem was with it. So what if the creatures face doesn't move. Enjoy it for what the movie is. A 90 minute time waster to hold you over . Not exactly a bad deal. Give it an actual chance and who knows you might have a good although forgettable time with it.

What seems to be a good storyline is totally destroyed by special effects so terrible that they would have been rejected when Peter Jackson did the Feebles!

Not even movies from the 1950s have SFX this bad! And it completely destroys the movie.

Granted, I wasn't exactly harboring much of any high expectations or hopes for the movie "Conjuring the Genie" (aka "Devil Djinn") as I sat down to watch it. Sure, I hadn't even heard about the movie prior to watching it.

First of all, the movie starts out with a misspelled title on the screen. Yeah, they had an extra O in the movie's title, as it appeared as "Conjouring the Genie". Odd, I think.

And let's just say that writer and director Scott Jeffrey didn't exactly manage to deliver a particularly wholesome movie here.

Sure, I mean the concept idea is adequate enough, but not outstanding and something that has been seen and done before, as this was about young people summoning a djinn (or genie) for granting wishes, but the creature that appears is a monstrously being that twists and perverts the wishes of those summoning it. "Wishmaster" anyone?

The acting in this 2021 movie was mundane and rather uninspiring. I am sure that the actors and actresses put on adequate enough performances, I just wasn't particularly impressed with what I saw. And it should be said that the actors and actresses didn't exactly have the best of scripts or well-written characters to work with here in "Conjuring the Genie".

Then there was the djinn. Wow. Just wow. This was nothing more than a latex Halloween mask with some added gloss or slime for effect. It was just laughably bad to witness. Especially since there was absolutely no gestures or expressions on the mask when the djinn spoke, as it was just a single whole sculpted mask with no articulation. It was just phenomenally bad to see.

I gave up on "Conjuring the Genie" halfway through, as nothing of any interest had happened and I had found no entertainment in the movie. And for this being a horror movie, well... I suppose if you consider wasting your time on nothing as horror, then by all means.

My rating of "Conjuring the Genie" (or "Devil Djinn") lands on a two out of ten stars. It amazes me that movies such as this get the funding to get to see the light of day. You might want to do yourself a favor and skip on this particular movie.

If someone sees something resembling a monster, the appropriate reaction is to scream, not act like this creature is the creep next door. So disappointed. How is the trailer so good and the acting so bad?!
