This boy sure has the balls to summon the Djinn and endure the painful non-friendly visit that awaits him. The movie is filled with action and on some moments, it is quite tense. The movie has a lot of room for improvement though, I'd have loved it way more if it kept me on edge throughout the whole watch. I recommend it, it's a good watch and it feels like an indie-made movie.

Are we watching the same movie ? This was like a really bad, long episode of Stranger Things. The acting was terrible, the plot was awful, and the entire movie took place in an apartment. They just went room to room hiding. And the soundtrack was so bad. Like really bad. Such a cheap reach.

Good movie. The whole movie takes place inside a small apartment but the director uses it to his advantage and it doesn’t feel like it subtracts from the film. There are times when you as the viewer feel cramped and claustrophobic but that’s a good thing. Good horror movie with a standout performance from the lead actor

Simple story, but effectively delivered through efficient storytelling and a solid performance by the lead actor. While scarce in backstory due to minimal dialogue (naturally) and limited run time, the movie is still able to establish its main character and move at a healthy pace by dropping in only the most important details. The lack of dialogue also eliminates the unnecessary, often god-awful, exposition plaguing modern horror films and obligates the audience to fill in the gaps — which makes an otherwise familiar story with well-known elements a satisfying watch.

Be careful what you wish for.

Very well-crafted and an engaging performance from the lead actor! However, it does fall to the indie-horror weakness of filler shots that slow the action.

Okay movie. If youve seen any horror movie then you've seen this. Nothing fresh or original in this movie. It drags and takes forever for something to start happening. Predictable, low budget but still isnt as bad as other movies I've seen. Its not THAT bad but its not good either.

This is low budget, unscary, cliched and ridiculous. I mean 'the book of shadows' puleease. Why is his asthma a part of the story? There's no logical reason. Why doesn't he leave the house instead of running around inside it and hiding? Because there would be no movie if he did. Yet another movie with high rating on rotten tomatoes that I just didn't want to waste my time finishing.

Excellent low-budget horror movie. Very well produced.

Thank you A24 and Ezra for this amazing little beast of a horror film proving a great film can be made for very little. I loved it. 10/10 stars

Great ending. Well written. I believed because of the boy's acting. Thumbs up.

sensational movie a good horror with Suspense.

It's quite mediocre. The kid is a good actor, but the material is very poor.

alright - so not a great movie in the grand scheme of things - but what a great low budget film. the only actor (basically) was 13 years old & the whole thing took place in a shoebox apartment. i did think a lot of the happenings & actions/reactions from both parties were inconsistent & in general, the kid was fine the whole time so i never felt like he was in much danger. definitely creepy/scary vibes though. i wished the djinn had stayed in its monster form longer than it did, but overall very well done everything. i'd recommend it if it interests you.

Just mediocre horror movie... i'm annoyed with the inconsistency of the djin and the boy actions... doesnt feels right...

vaya que esta historia te genera esa sensacion de suspenso cada escena, la sensacion de pavor te consume en algunas escenas, una pelicula muy bien manejada de principio a fin.

The movie has good scares, and unique soundtrack  in comparison to a lot of other movies, so koodos to that (and interesting plot voice-over that reminded me the voice of the guy in Skrillex - Centipede). The end of the movie with the epic reveal of the holy-hell-that-creepy-attack-on-titans-smiling-titan-face was just awesome. The boy goes through great character growth, but the movie portrays the tragedy of hindsight, as even when Dylan overcomes his grief, he loses something else while also gaining something, if that makes any sense, hahaha. The overall mesh of these themes and horror genre didn't mix as well as I believe the director intended, but it was a worthy attempt. But!! I felt that it was a bit of repetitive for my taste and I was definitely frustrated at some point

Watched this because I saw and loved these directors first film, The Boy Behind the Door (which I think I read they actually shot after this). It's not quite as great as Boy, but these directors are definitely ones to watch, and the kid - who is in both films - is a future star. Highly recommend.

I never take the time to review movies but the performance put on by the 13-year-old boy in this movie was absolutely fantastic. Couldn't have cost much to make the movie but it was very well done. Both me and my family enjoyed it

The Djinn isn't as original as other movies I watched blindly (not knowing anything), like Vivarium and 1BR, and it loses itself a little on the final 20/25 minutes, when it goes from home invasion psychological horror to a physical one, with possibly the worst jumpscare of the year, but the atmosphere was so good that the movie didn't lose me. Ezra Dewey is excellent, and the ending, despite the terrible CGI, broke my heart. Oh, I knew David Charbonier and Justin Powell did another film together, released recently but made before. Can't wait to see! I think they're promising.
