The Djinn

Yes this one is a turkey and it is not even Christmas yet!

Cashing in on the brilliant original movie with the superlative Andrew Divoff, this one really is pretty dire. If you are expecting to see the evil Djinn with the gravelly voice of someone like Divoff then think again - There is NO dialogue and there is NO Djinn!

I commend it for the old style 80's synth riffs but setting a whole movie in a small apartment with no dialogue was never going to work. The acting is passable but as one other reviewer concisely put it, "it really is just about a little boy running around an apartment" with zero scares, hardly any creature effects at all and absolutely zero story or characterization and utterly mind bogglingly dull, dull , dull! So much so I started to browse the internet and do my tax return, if that does not tell you all you need to know then nothing will!

Avoid this one unless you have run out of sleeping tablets!
