Just a kid and bunch of dorks running around in an apartment, what the hell?? Boring story, boring soundtrack. People, choose something else, this movie is not even fun to watch during the dinner time. I didn't even want to finish the movie, be warned.

I love a good horror movie as much as the next person but this was so hard to watch. It was boring and it has been done before but never in a way that just took forever to get to the point! They could have made this into a short film and I am sure I would have enjoyed it much more than this. There were times through out the whole movie where you are just waiting for the kid to do something, anything! I have seen Wishmaster and that was a good movie! I looked it up and this was suppose to be a sequel. Some sequel's should NOT be made, this is one of those. I mean, the original was perfect and nothing wrong with it. But this is a movie I will never recommend and I myself will not see again.

I'm sorry to say that it appears as though many of the reviewers didn't grasp Messrs. Charbonier and Powell's intent and that's a shame because this movie is better than it wants to be. It is ambitious and layered. The actors did a fine job, especially Ezra Dewey. The kid has quality. Rob Brownstein was very convincing as a concerned and loving father. The 'trauma responses' aspect of the movie is what motivates Ezra's character and that storyline is very nicely tied up at the end. The ambition is crossing the genres of Horror and Psychological Drama with a bit of Mystery. It's not so much Thriller nor slasher Horror (though there are a couple slashes). The lore of the Djinn is almost always underscored by the 'be careful what you wish for' maxim, which is hinted at very subtly and uniquely in a delicate philosophical exchange between father and son fairly early on. Personally, I loved the very contained element of the small apartment for the setting of the majority of the film. You can almost imagine this being done as a stage play. I'm sorry that there are so many negative reviews for what is clearly something slightly askew from the common fare thrown about as modern Pop Horror; this is a solid 7... ...it's just not for everyone.

That was really well done. Amazing what can be done on a low budget. Ezra Dewey did a fantastic job!!!

The movie is short and the popcorn was good. Those are the only good things about this movie. Ezra Dewey may be a talented young actor, but this was so badly written that he never stood a chance. Don't waste your time or money. It's truly dreadful.

There are cliches in cinema that need to die. One is the slow head turn. No one does that in real life. A real person turns their head immediately. They don't stand there and slowly turn their head to the thing commanding their attention. It's bad directing to have such a stupid scene and this movie used it multiple times. That's just one of the many issues with this movie. The kid wasn't a good actor, or maybe he is a good actor just poorly directed. Even the Djinn, as defined in the movie, didn't make any sense. In the movie, the Djinn turns into dead people it sees photos of. Um, okay, so how did this "ancient" thing function pre photos? The Djinn has the power to fix broken glass and create force fields that throw people across a room but for some reason can not use these powers to kill its victim. Yea, ok. I could go on but what's the point.
