Episode 12: The Djinn (2021) Movie Review

Atmospheric, nostalgic, and set in an apartment filled with nothing but synth music, The Djinn (2021) tells the story of a young boy trying to survive an hour with an entity bent on killing him before the clock strikes midnight. Listen in as Ashley and Stephanie dissect the story, talk about the dangers of summoning spirits while taking a nice bath, and applaud Ezra Dewey on his role as Dylan, the boy who survived a night with a supernatural presence chasing him around an apartment. No easy feat.
