Nordling here.
Some of the dialogue could use some subtitles, but I think the general mood and tone of the piece comes through this trailer for filmmaker Tobe Hooper's DJINN, the horror film made in Abu Dhabi about a family that returns home to that country to find... something.... inhabits their new home.
We've been wanting original horror concepts for a long time, and sure, the haunted house tropes are all through this trailer, but the idea of exploring Middle Eastern mythology for a modern horror film is very intriguing to me, and the trailer works enough for me to really look forward to seeing this film when it gets released here in the States. Plus, Tobe Hooper's return to filmmaking is always welcome and I hope this new film is a triumphant return to the genre for him.
Here's the trailer - thanks to First Showing:
Nordling, out.
