Devil Djinn

'The acting is my favorite part, staggered dialogue, more wood than a timber yard.'

I lifted this word for word from another review because all of us have seen badly written, low budget movies but it was almost as if the actors had to pad this out to 1hr 26m

See the Wishmaster series for a better version of the twisted djinn, W4 was a strong rebound from the weak W3. 'W2: Evil never dies' even says the name of the movie in the movie and you can repeat for your amusement ... Evil .. Never ... Dies. I am easily amused but even I think poorly of this one.

Granted, I wasn't exactly harboring much of any high expectations or hopes for the movie "Conjuring the Genie" (aka "Devil Djinn") as I sat down to watch it. Sure, I hadn't even heard about the movie prior to watching it.

First of all, the movie starts out with a misspelled title on the screen. Yeah, they had an extra O in the movie's title, as it appeared as "Conjouring the Genie". Odd, I think.

And let's just say that writer and director Scott Jeffrey didn't exactly manage to deliver a particularly wholesome movie here.

Sure, I mean the concept idea is adequate enough, but not outstanding and something that has been seen and done before, as this was about young people summoning a djinn (or genie) for granting wishes, but the creature that appears is a monstrously being that twists and perverts the wishes of those summoning it. "Wishmaster" anyone?

The acting in this 2021 movie was mundane and rather uninspiring. I am sure that the actors and actresses put on adequate enough performances, I just wasn't particularly impressed with what I saw. And it should be said that the actors and actresses didn't exactly have the best of scripts or well-written characters to work with here in "Conjuring the Genie".

Then there was the djinn. Wow. Just wow. This was nothing more than a latex Halloween mask with some added gloss or slime for effect. It was just laughably bad to witness. Especially since there was absolutely no gestures or expressions on the mask when the djinn spoke, as it was just a single whole sculpted mask with no articulation. It was just phenomenally bad to see.

I gave up on "Conjuring the Genie" halfway through, as nothing of any interest had happened and I had found no entertainment in the movie. And for this being a horror movie, well... I suppose if you consider wasting your time on nothing as horror, then by all means.

My rating of "Conjuring the Genie" (or "Devil Djinn") lands on a two out of ten stars. It amazes me that movies such as this get the funding to get to see the light of day. You might want to do yourself a favor and skip on this particular movie.

I remember some weird kid in a mask running around and talking to a variety of random people. I think there was a wrestling subplot? Or maybe a dog that wished its parents back to life, so that it can yell at a pregnant lady?

Things did happen. I assume sequentially. This is a movie.

As with other reviews, I absolutely agree this is a terrible movie but one of those that's worth watching if you want a bit of a laugh and don't want a movie that is going to make you think. Very predictable and a bit silly. Definitely one you can easily watch by yourself if you get scared easy as the effects are in no way scary. The jumpscares you expect to happen are disappointingly not scary at all. You will defo need subtitles for the actors who mumble but the sound levels aren't too bad with this one, apart from the loud music that plays every time the Djinn makes an appearance. This covers the dialogue completely.

If you want an easy watch with a few unintentionally funny bits, I'd recommend but it isn't a movie I'd ever waste time on again.

A movie that Just wants you to think it a part of the conjuring series to earn money, bad acting and bad special effects (zero) i could get more entertained by watching junkies go on a acid trip..
