Magi

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.

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.

A sober production from the director. he has the knack, the edge and the content without the craziness, intensity and shocks that his other movies delivered in the past.

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.
