Shadow and Act

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.

Peter Keough

Boston Globe

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.

Rated: 1/4

Nicolas Rapold

New York Times

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.

FILMINK (Australia)

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.

FEARnet

Some of Bob Kurtzman's third act make-up effects are a small silver lining, but unfortunately Jinn is a pretty laughable affair.

The Dissolve

A deeply dopey, distinctly not-terrifying, unintentionally hilarious supernatural thriller.

Rated: 1.5/5

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

This movie has one of the lamest set-ups I have ever seen. The video from the father? Clearly he had the means and the time to leave his son a very detailed message about what was coming. Instead, he leaves him a video with a very brief and cryptic message that is worthless. Unfortunately, the movie goes down hill from there. A car chase with a Jinn? The epic battle is won with a choke slam? The nonsense just keeps piling up. What a waste.

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.
