Devil Djinn

If you're going to spend the time, money and effort to make a movie, why not spend the extra money on the actual genie?

The mouth doesn't move when he talks and the mask overall looks like plastic.

I also thought it was part of the conjuring series.

Just another b 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.

As with other reviews, I absolutely agree this is a terrible movie but one of those that's worth watching if you want a bit of a laugh and don't want a movie that is going to make you think. Very predictable and a bit silly. Definitely one you can easily watch by yourself if you get scared easy as the effects are in no way scary. The jumpscares you expect to happen are disappointingly not scary at all. You will defo need subtitles for the actors who mumble but the sound levels aren't too bad with this one, apart from the loud music that plays every time the Djinn makes an appearance. This covers the dialogue completely.

If you want an easy watch with a few unintentionally funny bits, I'd recommend but it isn't a movie I'd ever waste time on again.

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?!

Worst movie ever made by anyone ever since humans started making movies.. 90 mins of my life I'll never get back.
