Aramide Tinubu Shadow and Act Mar 13, 2018
More than anything the film shines because it isn't about the trauma or pain that Black women experience. Jinn is about identity, those beautiful, carefree days of youth, and how in a split second, one thing that is so deeply important can be replaced.

1/4
With its awful acting, terrible dialogue, and laughable special effects, "Jinn" strains for the hapless genius of Ed Wood, but ends up just another bad movie. Go to Full Review Nicolas Rapold New York Times Apr 7, 2014
Most of the time, this incoherent thriller resembles an overheated trailer for itself: a glaringly rough assembly of ill-staged computer-generated action sequences and portentous moments. Go to Full Review John Noonan FILMINK (Australia) Apr 16, 2015
Writer-director Ajmal Zaheer Ahmad serves up glossy visuals on the back of a limited budget. However, Jinn often feels like it's a showreel for his visual talents. An admittedly uneven one at that. Go to Full Review Scott Weinberg FEARnet May 8, 2014
Some of Bob Kurtzman's third act make-up effects are a small silver lining, but unfortunately Jinn is a pretty laughable affair. Go to Full Review Chris Klimek The Dissolve Apr 7, 2014
1.5/5
A deeply dopey, distinctly not-terrifying, unintentionally hilarious supernatural thriller. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Martin P @endymetal May 19, 2026 pretty tacky, but shows potential See more Erik C. @mufasa Jan 19, 2026 This movie is amazing if you accept that it’s not a blockbuster. Truly it’s entertaining and interesting. The plot is pretty unique and different. Like a Constantine sort of thing. It’s keeps your attention. Okay now for the amazing part. All you have to do is search for “fire breather Camaro” The’s specifically designed for the movie. This movie is hilarious. It’s serious but hilarious. The writing cracks me up. They did a good job sometimes then there are times that it’s just hilarious. There is also a moment when the main character falls out of a tree and they flash to his arms waving frantically after he lands, it was incredible. Gabriel thinks he is Bruce Lee for a split seconds when he kicks someone off some stairs then goes into this hilarious slow motion thing where he is using this knife against I guess zombies but he never uses the knife the whole time during the slow motion sequence that lasted like 2minutes. Just watch it if you are hungover one day or if you are having a chill night and you have no expectations. This movie was so good in a “it’s trying to be serious, but it turns out it’s a comedy” way. It’s so silly, yet the plot is still entertaining. See more Yuri B @RyuBlack Apr 18, 2025 Never watched it completely the first time but now that I have, it's not bad. But it's also not that great. Definitely one of those if it's on TV watch type of deals. And honestly I only watched because Ray Parker & Serinda Swan were apart of this project. See more Steve D @RT35616104 Oct 25, 2023 cheap but some fun will be had with these leads. See more Jan 30, 2020 I loved it. Interesting take on the supernatural See more Oct 20, 2019 Never watched it completely the first time but now that I have, it's not bad. But it's also not that great. Definitely one of those if it's on TV watch type of deals. And honestly I only watched because Ray Parker & Serinda Swan were apart of this project. See more Read all reviews
