Jinn (2014)

While I did like this film, 3 not 4 stars represent the fact that this movie needs editing. While the makeup/special effects were great, the action was not as well presented. Some of the action sequences were not well lit, While this does give the movie a gloomy and scary feel, it was difficult to see what was going on. Certain portions are too long ("zombie" attack at the hospital, the main character doing a "Knight Rider" with his vehicle during a chase and the vision quest in the abandoned factory). This movie could have used more plot, but it is hard to dislike a movie that binds currently dangerously squabbling religions together into one strong force of good to fight evil. The characters of Father Westhoff (William Atherton), Gabriel (Ray Park) and Ali (Faran Tahir) were all well-acted. These actors were extremely adapt at presenting their characters' motivations and emotions. 3-easter eggs (all in credits) (1) statement of "The Jinn Will Return" and short clips at approximately (2) 15:20 and (3) 1:25. If Ray Park and William Atherton were in the sequel then I would be interested in seeing "Jinn - 2" on this streaming service.
