Magi

Starring Michael Madsen, Stephen Baldwin, Brianne Davis and Lucie Pohl, "Magi" is directed by Turkish director Hasan Karacadağ. The horror film recounts the adventures of American journalist Olivia Watkins who comes to Istanbul following the murder of her sister.

I enjoy this, The movie overall is pretty good, but I'm always a little cynical, and a big part of me wonders how closely this follows the facts of the true story.

well directed, and does its best to maintain a spooky mood (but doesn't quite achieve that goal). If you are looking for cliché horror look elsewhere.

If you're looking for blood and guts, look elsewhere. This film will grab your imagination and whipsaw your emotions into very dark places. Lucie Pohl is absolutely amazing as Olivia Watkins. Good acting. Special effects were overdone. Whether you're a believer in the supernatural or not, I thought it was interesting and scary at sometimes.

You know what film is an 8/10 or a 9/10? Wolf of Wallstreet. You know what film is not? Magi.

Yet, judging by all of the high star ratings and glowing reviews, you'd think this film may win an Oscar. Wrong. Fake reviews....they are plaguing IMDb.

Many of these reviewers have ONLY reviewed ONE FILM (This film!)

Note to fake reviewers: at least pump in a few reviews for other films so you can appear to be a film fan and not affiliated with the film you are reviewing.

If anyone involved in the film (aka the fake reviewers) is reading this, please take note: YOU ARE RUINING IMDb! It has become a biased, fictitious ratings-land where the average consume cannot get an objective review of a film.

My suggestion: move along to a film that stands on its own merit and doesn't need to trick you into viewing.

It didn't disappoint me. Very happy with the stylish lighting/acting/dialogue. Tight plot with almost no boring scenes. I usually don't like to see these kinds of films; however, when the movie is based on real life events and/or real life people, I tend to make exceptions. Based on a true story of two sisters but Although this story is based on real events it is still difficult to accept. Entertaining but there are flaws which subtract from the reality of this subject.Not all that scary but it does trip you out at times.Started slow, but ended up being a good suspense horror film.The directing is well done, with many nice shots. One of the better psychological thrillers out there. Wouldn't really classify it as horror though parts were pretty scary.This movie is not something I'd recommend children to see. It has some obviously disturbing images as the special effects are rather convincing. The final moments of the film seem to indicate that the producers are hoping for a sequence.

I finally got to see this flick. It's a must-watch! Magi has a very strong story and engrossing plot. I love the slow burner horror films and this was definitely one of those types of horror films. Stamm hits on Christian & Babylonian beliefs concerning the origin of the Devil, his demons, and God.  i hate it when people spoil movies so I don't want to tell you whole story.

What i did not expect was to REALLY enjoy this film. This is not a jump scare movie There's a small amount of gore that it's't very over the top, but along with the death scenes, they prove to be very effective.

 But the suspense of Magi was fantastic and its weird but You believe the story. yes,really It'll give you something to think about and it'll make you believe that perhaps, demons DO exist. The rest of the movie was very very fresh and new. There were enough turns and twists to keep you going and a nice amount of creepiness. It's the type of horror that gets under your skin and chills your blood. One of the best films, horror or not ,in recent memory.

before seeing this movie you should know What is the difference between angels, Jinns and devils? The JINN are beings living on earth in a world parallel to mankind.They are physically invisible from man as their description suggests. Through their powers of flying and invisibility, the JINNS are the chief component in occult activities. Therefore, Voodoo, Black magic, Witchcraft and Mediums can all be explained through the world of the JINNS. Likewise, so can the illusions and feats of magicians. so think about these words; Magic & Magi...! It was a clever plot with plenty of suspense and I never would've guessed the ending, which was great, surprising and memorable! It stays on your mind for days after.  I recommend this to those who are into supernatural horror with a demonic possession backdrop. Magi is certainly worth seeing if you are a fan of the genre.

I loved this movie and the story line. It is a great horror movie that keeps you on your seat wondering what is gonna happen next.

Also The score is absolutely amazing too in its grating terror.

The base of film is about ancient Mesopotamian mythological creatures and their creepy demons; The Jinns!

Jinn is a word derived from an Arabic root which means to 'conceal' or 'cover with darkness';

This film is a true horror movie that isn't a cheap thrill slasher/gore/shock fest with little to no storyline.

However, if you're an ethnic-horror film fan and enjoy a good story more than anything else, this is a movie you should watch. It is a slow burning, suspenseful and atmospheric film shot in muted tones. I have to say that Magi is Not your typical exorcism movie. You may think that as you first watch but it has a surprising twist. Most unique of its genre... I really enjoyed the ending.
