Jinn Trailers

From the beginning, stories of angels and men have captured our imaginations and have been etched into our history crossing all boundaries of culture, religion, and time. These two races have dominated the landscape of modern mythology for countless centuries, almost washing away the evidence that a third ever existed. This third race, born of smokeless fire, was called the jinn. Similar to humans in many ways, the jinn lived invisibly among us and only under dire or unusual circumstances were our paths ever meant to cross.

Don't listen to the naysayers. Most of them are probably anti-Muslim and don't want the Muslim director and writer to be successful with this independent effort. Yes, it is very much like a television series pilot movie. And what's wrong with that? We all like TV even when we pretend otherwise.Good TV shows are hard to find. If this had been successful, it would have been closely like Supernatural, only more serious instead of campy cute guys one-lining their way through disasters. Jinn, or Djinn, have an interesting history in our ancient literature, and not just from Muslim sources, although I believe it may have started from there. Ancient Hebrew also have literature regarding the Jinn. If you watched Noah with Russell Crowe, you would have seen a major reference to the Jinn. It is, indeed, a part of our ancient stories of our beginnings which has been forgotten.True? I dunno. But definitely fun. Too bad so many stinkers had to rate this as if it should have been a blockbuster film instead of a really good potential TV series. Some folks are real wet blankets.Watch it, rate it, and maybe someone in power will decide to give it a go.

***Spoilers***Needed more detail to make it a good story. However, it was obvious that the production team had only so much money for the effort. To their credit, the movie did not lapse into mindless gore. An attempt to keep to some involved plot was tried. Acting was fair (not great), special effects were good, production was good. A pretty good Bollywood type effort. Tried and done story of young lad growing up to be defender of the world against evil spirits. Some people show up to help him. He kills big spirit baddie. Scares the rest of them. Roll credits. Credits did look cool, probably best part of the movie. All in all, okay effort, watched it free from offer from cable company for one free on demand movie. Glad did not have to pay for it. Recommend you wait for this one to come out with commercials so you don't wind up mad at yourself.

Same scenes revisited, same kinda good effects with OK sound fx... but still...this film blew. I have a long standing record with films of the bizarre, nasty, horrifying, dangerous and kinky...this film was trash. Even a friend of mine whom is a far...faar bigger buff of the various darker genres than I would say the same.What could have been a grand tale about one of the pre existing beings upon our world since eldritch times was pitiful. This was not scary in the least, and played out more like a cross between constantine and hellboy in a pathetic way.Avoid or lose the hour and a half of your life, and never recover it . 2/10 is the best I can give this, if nothing else but for the actors efforts. A film is still a trying project to complete.

I love this Genre and the premise/description sounded right up my alley. But the direction, film quality and acting are nothing more than a terrible B-movie.It was disjointed, without a coherent storyline and a total waste of time!And BTW, I DID like Prometheus AND Twilight! One reviewer said she was giving it a 10 to balance the Twilight lovers but GIVE ME A BREAK! The Dialogue is terrible, the editing and screen quality was sub-par and I couldn't even watch it all the way through it was so bad! And again, I LIKE this sci-fi/fantasy/horror genre of movies. It was just poorly made, pure and simple. I feel like I like a LOT of movies that get bad ratings and I will watch 10 minutes of something with a storyline I like even if it has a bad rating to make up my own mind.In this case the ratings were spot on...even for me. You can waste your time if you want, but you've had fair warning!
