[edit] Plot

The plot concerns several local teenagers who decide to spend the night in a museum. During this, an evil genie, or djinn, is released. The spirit possesses the body of the museum curator's daughter and hunts down the teenagers, who have now split up for various reasons. Other people are caught up in the murderous escapades as well.

[edit] Reviews

Richard Harrington of the Washington Post said it was "stupid and senseless, and the special effects look as if they were shot on a family's weekly shopping budget."[1] The Boston Globe called it "a hokey loser".[2]
