We start thinking about the things we re missing… and forget about the things we have. Holy hell this looks freaky! IFC Films has released an official trailer for the indie horror
The Djinn, finally being released in May this year in both theaters + on VOD at the same time. A mute boy is trapped in his apartment with a sinister monster when he makes a wish to fulfill his heart s greatest desire. That is a simple setup, but this looks insanely creepy overall. This stars
Ezra Dewey as Dylan, along with
Rob Brownstein,
Donald Pitts, and
John Erickson. The apartment cinematography in this (by DP Julián Estrada) is what makes it effectively scary. This really seems like it could end up a sleeper hit just because it s so disturbing.
Movie theaters are slowly reopening, but most of the new releases are headed to streaming services rather than the big screen. Whether you're staying at
