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.

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.

The plot.

Olivia, A New York-based journalist travels to Turkey when she receives news that her sister Marla is pregnant.

Marla recently ended a relationship but decides to keep the baby and that's when sinister things begin to occur.

This movie is a mess.

From the first frame, I wasn't sure if I should take it seriously or as a lampoon. Unfortunately i believe it was meant to be taken seriously.

There's not logic whatsoever to the movie. It rambles and makes no sense. Baldwin and Madsen who are in it for 10 seconds a piece obviously need the money. SAD.

The bulk of the movie is all talking and no action, peppered with ominous music here and there. Again, makes no sense.

It's a train wreck

A sober production from the director. he has the knack, the edge and the content without the craziness, intensity and shocks that his other movies delivered in the past.

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.
