Magi

very different format for a demon possession kind of movie. A pregnant American woman who was due to give birth in just days brutally stabbed to death and her sister Olivia researches the subject and is awakened to the terrifying truth that demons exist and are not a good thing. There are many "copy cat" movies about Exorcisms but this is not one of them. Some of you may not agree but something about this movie really gave me that scared to go to bed with the lights off feeling. That doesn't happen often to me. The story is clear, the script is good. The story and film are paced well. The plot also has a very interesting connection to Adolf Hitler and Nazis.

Worth a watch if you like horror movies.

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.

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

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.

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.
