This is a lot like The Objective, only the monster in this one is more palpable and thus scarier. After a soldier destroys a statue in the middle of nowhere, his unit finds itself besieged by a djinn. The horror is mostly psychological, with special effects used in a perfect balance, neither too much nor too little. This is part of a new emphasis in independent horror movies on actual horror rather than sensationalism, titillation or other cheap thrills. I hope the trend continues. Worth seeing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
