Aramide Tinubu Shadow and Act 03/13/2018
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. Go to Full Review
Peter Keough Boston Globe 04/07/2014
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 04/07/2014
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) 04/16/2015
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 05/08/2014
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 04/07/2014
1.5/5
A deeply dopey, distinctly not-terrifying, unintentionally hilarious supernatural thriller. Go to Full Review

Yuri B @RyuBlack Apr 18 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 ladeeph t 09/18/2024 The movie is one of a kind, it was able to differentiate between the creations, Angels, jinn and man. Their origins were well illustrated, unlike other Hollywood movies which are jus too cheap in making researches. Jinns aren't fallen angels, the devil, shaytan, is not a fallen angel, he is a jinn. It might be a low budget movie but it really passed the message. See more Steve D 10/25/2023 cheap but some fun will be had with these leads. See more 07/23/2021 Only person who likes this movie is a black woman because, wait for it, she's a black woman. Unreal. I heard Trannys really enjoyed Plan9. What a joke See more 01/30/2020 I loved it. Interesting take on the supernatural See more 10/20/2019 Never watched it completely the first time but now that I have, it's not bad.
