There has been little news on Tobe Hooper's Djinn since we saw the first trailer in January, 2012. However, the movie is screening at ADFF later this month and a new trailer has been released.
"Desperate to put the traumatic loss of their young child behind them, newlywed couple Khalid and Salama flee New York, back to their home in the UAE.
Unbeknown to the couple, their new home in luxury apartment block, Al Hamra, was built on the site of an old abandoned fishing village of the same name. Legend has it that the village was abandoned after manevolant beings haunted its inhabitants.
Unsettled by her new surroundings and the eerie hallways of Al Hamra, Khalid worries his wife is failing to battle her personal demons -- but could it be something far more sinister?"
Directed by Tobe Hooper, Djinn stars Razane Jammal, Aiysha Hart, and Khalid Laith. Djinn will premiere at this year's ADFF (Abu Dhabi Film Festival) as part of the festival's Showcase portion. The event takes place from October 21st - November 2nd. *This story comes from Tamika Jones.
Tamika hails from North Beach, Maryland, a tiny town inches from the Chesapeake Bay.She knew she wanted to be an actor after reciting a soliloquy by Sojourner Truth in front of her entire fifth grade class. Since then, she's appeared in over 20 film and television projects. In addition to acting, Tamika is the Indie Spotlight manager for Daily Dead, where she brings readers news on independent horror projects every weekend.
The first horror film Tamika watched was Child's Play. Being eight years old at the time, she remembers being so scared when Chucky came to life that she projectile vomited. It's tough for her to choose only one movie as her favorite horror film, so she picked two: Nosferatu and The Stepford Wives (1975).
