This indie horror movie isn't just a lesson on the price of getting what you wish for; it's also an 82-minute class on how to make an unnerving film on the cheap.

Charbonier and Powell know how to brew atmosphere and empathy, creating child characters who feel fleshed out and not like precocious poppets to be pitied or fawned over.

5/10

At times, "The Djinn" seems to intentionally withhold exploring anything outside of the small confines of its story in a way that feels limiting rather than ingenious.

This thriller is quieter than most, creating a relaxed, realistic tone while the scary stuff gurgles up underneath.
