This movie is based on the Afghan’s belief in powerful creatures called the Djinn believed to have existed even before humans. These creatures generally have no shape but can assume any form. The Djinn’s greatest enemy were the humans and hence the two couldn’t co-exist. With the dominion of man, the Djinn vanished from the face of the earth, however few of them are believed to have remained in vessels.
In the story, a group of US soldiers in a mission in the Middle East accidentally shoot a statue found in the desert where the troop is stationed. This statue turns out to be one of those vessels containing the Djinn. The Djinn is freed and begins to destroy men.
Actors have given their best particularly Mercedes Masohn, who plays the Djinn. Shane West in his lead role makes the movie complete. With a small budget, Alex Turner has crafted a well conceived idea with realistic effects and intense action, although it does not surpass ‘Dead Birds,’ an earlier and very successful endeavour.
