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.

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!

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.
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

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.
