Djinn focuses on “a young Emirati couple who return home from the U.S. and discover that their new apartment in a luxury high-rise built on the site of an abandoned fishing village is also home to malevolent beings known as Djinn.”

Huh. Hard to feign excitement over this one.

Even if the movie is as “blech” as it sounds, Hooper can sleep eas knowing that he has stockpiled some karma in allowing female director Nayla Al Khaja to shadow him in preparation for her subsequent directorial debut. That’s as awesome as Poltergeist, right? (Playlist)
