The Djinn Reviews
Bloody Disgusting
Meagan Navarro
There's not an ounce of fat here, just a streamlined story packed with intensity and scares. The meticulous simplicity lets the suspense do the heavy lifting for this modern fairy tale nightmare.

Sara Michelle Fetters
I cannot say The Djinn did much for me.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
"The Djinn" is rooted in classic be-careful-what-you-wish-for O. Henry and Stephen King storytelling.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
The Djinn is often as plodding as it is impersonal. This movie crawls whenever it needs to sprint.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
With their debut, Charbonier and Powell proved a rare grasp of childhood horror, and keeping the perspective of youth among adult sins.
Crooked Marquee
Kimber Myers
This indie horror movie isn't just a lesson on the price of getting what you wish for; it's also an 82-minute class on how to make an unnerving film on the cheap.
Pajiba
Kristy Puchko
Charbonier and Powell know how to brew atmosphere and empathy, creating child characters who feel fleshed out and not like precocious poppets to be pitied or fawned over.
New York Times
Kristen Yoonsoo Kim
The film betrays its own less-is-more philosophy and becomes weighed down by exposition - but it's a tense, thrilling ride nonetheless.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
This lean thriller doesn't provide much food for thought, but it delivers a compact dose of extreme jeopardy.
Should I See It
Michael Ward
Small, but mighty. Efficient, but effective. The Djinn works its black magic in thrilling and captivating ways.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
This is a small-scale, yet wildly effective picture that grounds its horror moments in a story that has emotional value.
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
Even genre fanatics may find themselves surprised by just how well-made and genuinely creepy it is.
The Playlist
Mike DeAngelo
The Djinn might not be as effective, surprising, or subtle some horror hits, but the execution is so tight and simple that it just works.
Cinema Crazed
Emilie Black
The Djinn is a film that builds dread and fear by layering a good story, good directing, strong acting, atmosphere with great images and sound, and keeping these almost minimalist to a great effect.
The Blogging Banshee
Molly Henery
The Djinn incorporates frightful tension and emotional drama to fill the often overlooked intermediate family-horror space.
MullingMovies.com
Rain Jokinen
The Djinn wouldn't work as well as it does without Ezra Dewey as Dylan, the kid at the center of the story.
Fat Guys at the Movies
Kevin Carr
It's about cherishing what you have and not wishing for what has gone... it's an effectively made thriller.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
The Djinn fails to ground its attempted scares in any kind of logic -- even the paranormal kind -- or personal stakes.
Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam
Charles Koplinski
There's a great deal of style here and enough innnovation on display that I'm eager to see what Charbonier and Powell with a bigger budget and a much larger set.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Repetitive, uninspired and sporadically creepy with a breakthrough by Ezra Dewey. It's not as dull or inane as Separation or The Unholy, but not as effective as a psychological horror film like the recent Come Play.
