The Djinn

It's about 70 minutes long. It doesn't deliver any more or less than it promises. It's well done for a low budget, has a great performance, and the scares are good. It's not a masterpiece but not as bad as some other reviews say.

To the people that ensured this movie has a lower rating than the nun, you guys suck.

First off, this is NOT a remake of wishmaster I don't know why people keep saying it is. And people are complaining about the kid being mute which is just terrible. Like him being mute makes it less good somehow, Im guessing the people who complain about this like to hear themselves speak.

This movie was simple in plot, but pretty well executed. Soundtrack was good. Great acting from the lead. Takes a minute for the Djinn to appear but when it does the kid fights like hell against a threatening force that's somewhat bound to the laws of nature, unlike most demons in movies that have rediculous power, like for instance The Nun who manipulates physics and Kirby sucks all the air out of the room.

There could've been more scares in the film and a bit more logic from the character towards the end, but all in all it was a solid effort with a fitting twist.

There was a time when camera angles, framing skills, direction, sound, and editing were more important than al the CGI of the today. David Charbonier and Justin Powell have done a low budget indie which is technically perfect and deserves a much wider audience.

Independent and low-budget productions like this will save the horror movie. The history of horror cinema started with such films. Directing, sound design, cinematography, scenario deserve appreciation. A special greeting; Ezra Dewey. He's backed the whole movie. Big responsibility for that age.

Not often I've seen good horror from IFC Midnight. This one it's an exception. Good horror. Nice performance by the young caracter. Nice camera work. Solid direction and photography . Even the soundtrack it's nice . I was not expecting nothing like this. Not in the top of the genre but I like it.
