Synopsis:
The story follows a mute twelve-year-old, Dylan Jacobs, as he discovers a mysterious book of spells inside his new apartment. Grieving the loss of his mother, and feeling isolated from everyone except for his father, Dylan performs a ritual that promises to deliver his heart’s desire: to have a voice. But he soon discovers that every gift has a toll when a sinister djinn arrives to collect his soul. Now he is trapped in his new home with nowhere to hide. So Dylan must find a way to survive until the stroke of midnight or pay the ultimate price.
The Djinn is written and directed by David Charbonier and Justin Powell; the film stars Ezra Dewey and Rob Brownstein.
David Charbonier and Justin Powell are life-long friends and two up-and-coming directors in the horror space. They recently completed their feature film debut, The Boy Behind the Door. It had its world premiere at the 2020 edition of Fantastic Fest. It also screened at AFI Fest. There it was able to garner its current score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

The Hollywood Reporter called The Boy Behind the Door “a delicate and memorably successful balancing act that effectively contextualizes some deliberately challenging material”.
“We made this film as a testament to the spirit of independent filmmaking,” says the duo. “Our story is framed in horror, but we hope that its themes of strength and survival will encourage children and adults alike to love themselves despite their perceived shortcomings.”
