Djinn

If I could give a film zero stars, this would be the film. I watched this film with two of my friends, and not to sound arrogant, but we are not stupid people and we could not make sense of this. I understand the basic premise, but mostly from reading the back of the DVD box (where they misspelled the lead females name). There is a special feature on the film called 7 minutes of Film School, I am guessing this feature is an homage to the amount of time the director actually attended film school. Everything about this film reeked of pretentia, which is a word I had to make up to describe this film. There is no word in the English language, or any other language, that could describe what a piece of garbage this film actually is. We pride ourselves on our ability to enjoy films of a less than stellar nature. However, this film was not so bad that it was good (see also: Doomsday (2008)), it was so bad it reduced me to the level of a gibbering idiot.

Last week, I watched The Musketeer (2001); and as I watched that waste of celluloid, I thought to myself "Self, surely there could not be a bigger waster of time, money, and natural resources.", but this film proved me wrong.

To sum it up, if you enjoyed this film, you are probably on a substance that is currently either prohibited outright or strictly controlled by the government.

At the time I am writing this, this movie has a vote of 8.5. I saw the cover of this film and thought "well that looks crap" but due to the score, I thought I'd give it a shot. I watched the first 15 min of it and I've got no bloody idea what was going on, all the bad effects was making my eyes water so I turned it off. The director clearly wanted to achieve a mystical sense, but all he seemed to achieve was headache for the viewer.

The sound quality is quite bad. The voices have a low rumbling noise and combined with the bad English some of the actors spoke made it almost impossible to understand what they were saying. You can tell the film roll has been lying around because the first 5 minutes of the film has scratches and debris all over it. At first I thought it was an effect, but now I am pretty sure it was not.

For an Arab film, they could of at least picked some more hot girls. The acting... well what can I say about the acting, it is as good as the actor's spoken English, which is pretty crap.

I don't know if a middle eastern viewer would even like this. It is just a headache. If this film was made back in the time of world war II, the Nazi's would have used it as a torture device.

The one thing that attracted me to see this movie was the story,which is very good.The acting it's... lets just say they can do better if they try to do so (or maybe not).The movie gets boring in a few minutes and at one point you ask yourself why did you want to see this movie,and you remember it was for the story.I'm going to talk a little about the story.It's based on an ancient middle eastern fairy tale.Imad's love Amina gets taken in her dream by an evil genie.Now Imad travels the black desert so he can reach the Tree of Life and save her. In conclusion don't get high expectations when you go see the movie,or you will be disappointed,it's not worth your time.

I thought the film was pretty good considering the budget. The special effects were good and the story was good.

I think some people don't understand the Djinn. The Djinn were said to be chaotic and that's why the movie was chaotic but the chaos tied into the story.

You really have to be int mythology to understand this.

Overall I give the movie a 6 out of 10 and this was a good first effort.

I think the females in the movie were very pretty also and it wasn't very long and that was good. I like movies that get to the point of the film.

I recommend this movie. I think the guy has a future in film and this is his first film.

This movie is a complete waste of your time. I implore you not to watch this. This movie is causing headache by killing braincells. It looks like someone tried to play a sick joke on the viewer. It makes no sense, you constantly wonder what's going on, why are they showing me this or that. I quit watching this nonsense after about 10 minutes through an incomprehensible pile of moving images. God forbid you try to pay for this! This is a showcase of why we should not pay for a movie. But I don't see why anyone would buy a DVD of this to make a rip and trow it into P2P networks. It's not worth watching even if downloaded for free. Thankfully, I came across an online stream, but had to turn it off after 10 minutes for reasons described by all viewers who gave it a 1 star rating.
