Djinn

A really bad movie that I didn't understand what the movie was really about.

Simply put, this movie was directed by a master of horror. And though everyone is entitled to failures, I feel like this one didn't have to be. This could've been a groundbreaking film for Hooper. Sadly it was the opposite. But not by the fault of Hooper. We can't possibly know what his true vision was, because what we got was a very salient example of the damage a room of executives can cause. Hooper and Djinn never stood a chance.

This is a review for the directors cut. I have not seen the theatrical version. Djinn, the final film of Tobe Hooper, has an engaging plot, for the most part decent acting and pacing, well placed jump scares, some legitimately creepy moments, effectively scary djinn, a worthy twist ending, great cinematography, and a touch of Hooper's glorious use of red lighting. I give it 8 out of 10 stars. If you come across a copy of the unofficially released directors cut, check it out. 8/10.
