    A different kind of scare

    This is a great film.It is very well acted, well directed and paced nicely.It was more then a horror-suspense movie.

    If you're a fan of horror, particularly spiritual horror, you should see this. If you're into the disturbing and weird, you should see this. 

    Magi manages to work its horror elements rather well, by delivering some genuine creepy moments. You will love the end.

    Need some interesting questions to ask your friends? then watch it...! The Satan and Jinn's try to prevent man to meet with its higher dimensions. What sort of traps they use? were the aliens jinn based creatures?? Overall, I enjoyed the plot, characters and pace of the film.

    "MAGI" is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

    Nicely done and quite original

    I do recommend this movie if you like religious-occult themed horror films. It's very well directed and written by Hasan Karacadag who has directed so many successful Turkish horror films such as dabbe saga.

    Supernatural possession or a murder or a crazy cult or just lies?

    Script was nicely layout. The movie is loosely based on the real life (...and some true historical events) about occultism of Adolf Hitler. The story itself is quite good and different. I really enjoyed the horror drama aspect of the movie...The drama keep me in suspense.

    The roles are well played by all of the actors. Most are very convincing. I like Michael Madsen and I'm so glad to see him in a Turkish film.He is a real legend! Based on real stuff is always the best and this was...Nice Tie into the struggle between evil and faith.Smart and well done, this is not your average horror film. Still, after watching it, it is fun to review the actual events etc. Watch this one. Great story line, masterful acting, and outstanding effects.

    Beware of FAKE Reviews

    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.

    Good But...

    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.

    Surprisingly effective gloom

    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.
