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.
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.

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.

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

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!
