Ajmal Zaheer Ahmad"s Jinn is not to be confused with Tobe Hooper"s Djinn. I really can not wait to see this "demon" movie, in a sense Jinn"s are demons but are still different, hope your not confused. I remember the Wishmaster franchise and just how evil these creatures were, I would love to see a new horror movie with these "evil demons" under a different direction. Check out the release, synopsis and movie still below, get stoked!

From the Press Release

Detroit-based Exxodus Pictures and Freestyle Releasing announce a North American wide theatrical release date of April 4, 2014, for JINN, a tension-filled supernatural thriller. The film, written and directed by Ajmal Zaheer Ahmad, was produced by Ahmad, Benjamin Dresser, and Alan Noel Vega and stars Dominic Rains (Flight 93), Serinda Swan (USA’s “Graceland”), Ray Park (Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace), Faran Tahir (Elysium), and William Atherton (Die Hard). Richard Mandell, Najam Syed, and Shahid Syed executive produced the film for Exxodus.

The amazing story of JINN involves ancient mythological beings that have rarely been explored in US cinemas. The premise of the jinn concept, known to over 1 billion people around the world, involves ghost-like entities and revolves around creation mythology.

Already generating a substantial amount of early attention, this is the first film to accurately introduce and portray the jinn concept. JINN is also unique in that the vehicle used in the action sequences in the film, known as the “Firebreather,” was designed by director Ahmad and is the first vehicle in motion picture history available to the public for purchase. The “Firebreather” is a V8, 618-horsepower super exotic American muscle car with 50 limited editions being produced as the exact replica of the vehicle in the film. The car, several of which have already been sold, was designed by Exxodus to honor their hometown by creating modern design that fuses the soul of classic, American muscle.

The distribution deal was negotiated by Freestyle’s Co-President Mark Borde, Head of Acquisitions Chris Charalambous, and Richard Mandell and Najam Syed from Exxodus Pictures.

“The Exxodus team and I are very excited to be releasing JINN to the world. We have a tremendous responsibility to live up to the collective imagination of the people that already know about the jinn as well as revealing the concept to those who have never heard of it. Freestyle Releasing is the perfect partner as they have had many successes in the genre, and we feel they understand the originality of the concept,” said Exxodus’ Ahmad.

“We are happy to be distributing a film that will introduce Western audiences to an entirely new, entirely different supernatural concept; and I know that our team is excited to get this movie out to the public,” said Freestyle’s Borde.

Synopsis / Plot Summary:  In the beginning, three were created. Man made of clay. Angels made of light. And a third made of fire. For centuries, stories of angels and men have captured the imagination and been etched into history crossing all boundaries of culture, religion, and time. These two races have dominated the landscape of modern mythology, shrouding the evidence that a third was ever created. This third race, born of smokeless fire, was named the jinn. Modern man has all but forgotten this third race ever existed. It is time for him to remember.
