I got a free ticket to see this, and spent too much. The credits did not appear until the end of the movie, and that made it much clearer what was going on: There were a few names and surnames repeated several times in the credits, none of them well known as filmmakers. The director was listed as a main designer for the car that was featured, at length -- not that it was particularly interesting as a car. Or a movie; the whole thing is padded absurdly. There might be a decent half-hour TV show buried in this mess, but the fact that there's almost a half hour of setup before anything really happens is a giveaway of the pace of this thing. And once things start happening, they look like something from the 80's -- at best. Nothing happens fast, and almost nothing happens only once; the director liked some of his shots so much we see them several times. Even the scene after the credits is pointless.

Don't get me wrong -- I like outsider films. The original Gone in 60 Seconds, for example, is a classic. This has none of the pacing or wit of that movie, or any other decent one.

This potentially intriguing movie ruined my whole day for a vast number of reasons. I had come across the trailer for this, and being a fan of atmospheric supernatural thrillers, it looked appealing. Thus, I planned a whole day around going out to see this film theatrically in its limited release. Sadly, it failed on so many levels that I literally stopped caring about it halfway through, which made for a horrendously difficult sit for the next 50 minutes.

"Jinn" apparently has its mythology based on Middle Eastern folklore, but provides the most bare minimum exposition to get any of its ideas across. Thus, concepts and characters are poorly defined. It has concepts that are mentioned in relation to man, jinn, and angels - yet introduces nothing regarding angels anywhere in its narrative. As it goes along, you get the idea that Ray Park's character could potentially be an angel from the abilities he demonstrates, but nope, that potentially interesting idea never comes to be. The Jinn themselves are not well explained in the supposed mythology this film is attempting to setup and utilize. This film ultimately fails to flesh out or develop anything on a compelling level. The characters are not explored, leaving them as very two dimensional people despite having some potentially good quality talents here like William Atherton. It was at the point, nestled in the second act, where characters typically are fleshed out and given more depth and focus that I realized this film had no intention of caring at all about its characters. Everyone is given a shallow setup with no further development beyond that, and instead, the film throws a lot of flashy imagery and effects to use its sleek appearance mask its shortcomings.

"Jinn" also heavily lacks in excitement until well passed the point where I stopped giving a damn about it. The talents of Ray Park are grossly wasted here with a very tame and very brief martial arts showing, and a super slow motion fight scene that amounts to one of the most boring sequences of the film. The filmmakers also surely had no intention of building up legitimate scares or suspense. Jump scares are all it has to offer in that regard, and as I said, the action fails to excite at all. It also features some suped up concept car that the director clearly put far more effort and energy into integrating into this film than he did anything else.

I honestly stopped giving a damn about halfway through the film because the makers of this film never bothered to give me anything worth giving a damn about. You have to establish, develop, and build up your characters primarily, and that's exactly what this film never takes the time to do. Thus, it's exactly why I lost all interest in this, and felt embarrassed walking out of the theatre at the end of it. Also, despite the Jinn being a threat to the entire whole of humanity, the scope of this film is extremely narrow, and feels a lot like a forgettable late 1990's direct-to-video movie. It just lacks ambition, originality, intelligence, and scope to make it succeed on any creative level at all.

"Jinn" does have a very moody look to it with good quality cinematography, and the CGI effects work is quite high grade. However, good visuals and some nice effects cannot make-up for a lackluster script and lazy storytelling. The acting isn't poor, but it fails to compel an audience's interest. Do not bother paying to see this movie. There is a vast catalog of far superior works in this genre to watch and enjoy thoroughly than this such as The Prophecy, Constantine, Solomon Kane, or any episode of Supernatural. Don't waste your time, and don't encourage a sequel to a well below average movie like this because its end credits literally are asking you to do so.

I would like to preface this by saying that I love movies and have a special place in my heart for bad horror movies at times.

However, this movie does not even rank well on my bad horror movies list. I spent more of this movie focused on if I would walk out of the movie theater (for the first time in my life) than on the plot - that was mainly because there was no plot.

The most impressive part of this movie was the fact they were able to put together a trailer that made me want to see it. Otherwise, they did not develop the characters, they jumped from one part of the story to the next without any transition and all the characters lacked emotional development (at one point instead of crying they just used droplets of water rolling straight down his cheek...).

All in all I can't tell you how much not to go see this. It is a waste of time and money. For your sake, do not make my mistake.

Jinn is a film which can't decide whether it's a horror flick, a sci-fi/ fantasy romp, or an origin story launch for an independent noir graphic novel hero (please note, I have no idea if Jinn is based off a comic, but they're obviously trying to force-start a franchise.) Like the film's protagonists who attempt to create a super amalgamation of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, only to have it come across as vaguely anti-Muslim and awkward, (and the 'edgy' sound track choices which just end up being bafflingly bizarre,) this mix doesn't quite work, and the film would have been better served choosing one genre, and doing it well, instead of all and fumbling through it. There are some genuinely creepy moments, which are ruined by the comedy, and the comedy is in turn ruined by the complete, posturing cheesiness of some of characters and dialogs. Several plot devices could have come straight from their TVTropes.com pages, and certain scenes feel almost as if they were lifted from famous, better-made, movies.

The production value is very high, which helps and hinders. There are many actors with recognizable faces doing the very best they can; some extremely expensive camera shots; well-done (and plentiful) effects; fighting and driving stunts; and seriously, what is the point of the sports car? The high production values prevent the film from be a crappy delight, but make the confusing plot bearable to watch. Watching Jinn, you'll wonder who in the world would pour so much money into a movie who's plot and screen play feel more like a made-for-TV film you stumble onto after midnight on the Sifi channel than the big budget blockbuster it longs to be.

If you like films like "Season of the Witch," "Outlander," or random, independent movies from Red Box, you'll probably like Jinn, but otherwise, this is a film to watch with a bunch of drunk friends and make fun of, though there are other, better, choices for that.

Having read a lot about the topic of Jinns, I was not completely disappointed by the movie although it could have been made even better.

Story took of well and was entertaining and subject was well researched. Good job showing the 'chillah'. Have read about it in my curious readings so could make a connection.

Not many could show this perspective of Jinns in mainstream cinema. It may be a new thing for all to understand the significance of the Holy Zamzam water or of the incantations.

The camera work and direction was flawless. Although at times the background score was a bit misplaced. Acting was passable too. Hopefully when the Jinn returns with a sequel (if any) it may improve to get a better viewership.

Good try on this movie.

Well Done Guys as it was I think the first comprehensive movie about Jinns. The people who don't like it or should I say the ones who don't understand the movie are not familiar with the Islamic point of view regarding supernatural. According to Islam Jinns and Angels were created far before Humans. Jinns were created with fire and also with a lot of supernatural powers. They have been here with us from the very beginning. The things we call ghosts, spirits etc are actually Jinns. The movie as a whole was a nice effort to showcase the Islamic perspective. Acting was very acceptable. The director knew all the time what he was doing and where he wants to go with the movie. There were a few mistakes here and there but overall it is worth your time and money.

I just got back from seeing "Jinn". To be honest, I hadn't even heard of it before. I saw it in the theater listings, looked up the movie, and saw it was filmed in Michigan, where I'm from, so I gave it a shot.

I really enjoyed this movie. The story was engaging and unique, and the acting was solid all around. It was a bit slow to get moving, but the final third of the movie and the ending were amazing. I loved the look and style of the movie. I LOVED the integration of aspects of the different Abrahamic spiritual traditions while still keeping the emphasis on Arabic/Muslim folklore. It's making me want to read up on some of that folklore myself, since I am unfamiliar with it. "Jinn" is only rated PG-13, but it's not a kids movie; it's just smarter and deeper than your average jump-scare torture porn with naked chicks types of "horror" movies.

As far as negatives go, I think the movie was a little schizophrenic in tone at times. It's not what I would call a pure horror movie, more of a horror plus supernatural action plus an unfortunate touch of "Fast and Furious". The overemphasis on the car was a huge distraction, and the connection between the filmmakers and the car is really strange. I guess they designed it specifically for this film and you can buy one? So you can continue the film experience in your real life? It is a cool looking car, but every time I saw it, it pulled me out of the narrative because I felt like I was watching a car commercial. Thankfully, it was only in a few scenes.

I definitely enjoyed "Jinn" and would recommend it to anyone looking for a more intellectual horror movie from a non-western perspective. Just try to ignore the car.

P.S. There is a brief scene at the end of the credits; I don't mean the scene in the church but later at the very end.

I have a lot of fun watching this movie. The Master Symbol which puts together the Jewish, Christian and Islamic symbols touched me because I dream a unity like that since I was a child. I'd wish to see it in the real world.

Movie is good, I enjoyed VFX and Practical FX work because I know how hard they could be by the first hand - especially on limited budgets.

Viewers who thinking its a car commercial should watch movies like Gone In Sixty Seconds, Vanishing Point, Fast & Furious and Need For Speed. Obviously the designer of the new Firebird is involved with the movie but car is not overused and its really cool to watch it rides actually. It looks great.

Acting is not top notch I should say, director could work on actors a lot more to get the most out of them and inspire them to achieve their full potential. And my opinions will probably be extremely biased about The Goddess Serinda Swan so its not necessary to write here how much I worship her...

Well anyway; Story is solid actually but its based on false assumptions and misinterpretation of the holy books, ancient texts and scriptures. The demons are the demons inside of us (repeating memories, unsolved issues from the past etc.) and Jinn described on the Quran is not actually a devilish creature working against humans. So the story is based on a total fantasy. And since its a fantasy movie its cool...

I'm giving 10 stars to balance unfair 1 star reviews since we are living in a world that loves HungerGames/Twilight and hates Prometheus - enough said.

This movie is just pointless. It seems to be a unfortunate pregnancy of a car designer company and a wannabe movie director. The story has so much holes and just doesn't make sense at all. There is a horrible car chase scene where I suppose you should think that the car is cool, but all it brings is bad will to the movie, the car, the director and the actors. It's just so pointless. Let's say, you are being chased by a supernatural being, for some reason you decide to flee in your car, and for some reason this supernatural being can't keep up with the car, but it seems to be able to jump freely between dimensions and teleportate on free will. That might be an absurd example, but still it sums up this movie, its mainly a very unfortunate attempt at advertise a car through a movie. It stays of the 1 point rating just cause of some half decent CGI effects but other than that, it's just sad. Watch it just if you are utterly bored and need to kill some time without any demands on quality or entertainment whatsoever.

Don't trust any review of this movie higher than a two. Maybe there was a gear head who liked the car scenes and gave it a three, even though the drove the same street over and over. Anyone else giving this movie a favorable review has to be related to the director/writer/producer/actor.

This IS the worst movie of the year/decade/century/my life. Was there a script, not sure, doubt it. Someone took 100 ideas from 100 different movies, put them on film, and remembered they might need a plot or story. I see they forgot or abandoned that idea.

The movie was disconnected, random, and made no sense. It wasn't Mr Parks fault but the martial arts scene was senseless, and added no value to any part of the movie.

While watching this movie, all I could think was "Bro I need some khobza and hummus." After suffering through the first 60 minutes, I was left completely mind boggled by this horrible attempt at a movie. This movie would have been better without a director. All the guy did was make a stupid camaro and parade it around town. He put himself in the movie because he knew it would be the only time anyone would see him on screen. Overall, the acting, writing, directing, and soundtrack were all garbage. Please don't watch this abomination of a motion picture even if they give you a free ticket. Hopefully the jinns don't get me for watching this insulting spectacle.

If you are looking for the same old horror/sci-fi thriller this isn't for you. But if you can sit, pay attention and follow a great new story... then this movie is definitely for you!

I can easily see why this got some bad reviews... people hate things they have to "try" and follow. But I loved the story and not being able to predict the next step.

The only con I have is that I didn't feel completely attached to the female lead. Not sure it was her acting or just not enough background of her and Shawn's relationship -But a movie can only show so much background without being a 4 hr long movie, if this was a 4 hr long movie I know I would have gathered a lot more information.

Hopefully they are working on a Jinn 2. There are a lot of ways they could expand on the story.

SPOILERS: And for those who couldn't figure it out... the uncle wasn't crazy. He was still in the "Test" or "Chilla"(not sure how to spell it) and that is why he was like that until the end when he breaks free.

Interesting thing about Jinn, it feels like a low-key Fantasy film, like The Lord of the Rings with out money. Low-Key Sci-fi films are more common, such as recently released Under the Skin or last years' Her, but I can't recall a low key Fantasy film, in which The Fantasy elements are not so played up visually, but are integrated mostly in the story content.

The movie takes place in modern times like The Percy Jackson series, but unlike Percy Jackson, I don't think the film had any money for anything too flamboyant, but I will say that the visual effects they did have were done well.

The visual effects made for a very dark and eerie villain with the Jinn, a group of Sentiment beings briefly mention in the bible as creatures God made in the same essence as The Angels and Man, and now wish to take back the world they walked on first, due to their jealousy of man

Although the protagonist of the movie had the looks but seemed a little stiff, possibly not use to being the center of a movie, I'm glad they did not use a typically white actor as the dashing hero.

I went to go see this movie because I saw Ray Park had a role in it. We all remember Ray Park from his breakthrough role as Darth Maul in episode one. During his 15 minutes they mention he was a skilled marshal artist. Unless I'm missing a movie or two, I never really seen him do a Marshal arts film, and with Jinn, I still haven't. The movie lacks the adventure I was expecting from it.

The story itself was good but I feel it was not laid out well enough or maybe fantasy is not met to be done low-key. At the end of the movie they say their is more to come, but I don't think this movie is good enough to get a better sequel funded.

for all the bad critics, listen carefully: Jinn is not the average American movie. you're not used to this. i get that. HOWEVER, i'm glad this movie is here. i watched it and enjoyed. by the end of the movie, i could feel that it had been a setup for more than what we were being shown. the "guardian" theme, including its symbol, was my favorite clue to a much, much bigger picture here. another fave: "the prophesied one." true, they didn't delve into it too much, why was there a prophesied one, how did the family get the curse, who was "the girl" in the start.... this kind of a movie needs thinkers. not just watchers. you have to delve deeper, because the picture is painted for you. you're not just plainly told what's going on.

if you need a movie that just makes you laugh and zone out for a while, watch a comedy.

I am had a high expectation from this movie, and i was a tad bit disappointed with it. But if you like a mild Horror movie, this is for you.

It shows the secret war for dominance over the world between Jinn and Humans. Very few people know that Jinn exist and fewer can fight them while waiting for The One to end this war and begin the Golden Era.

The beginning of the movie was interesting and i was hoping it might get better, but it didn't. The concept of jinn is fairly new and this movie could have been better, a lot better. I would not call it a full on horror movie but it had its highs. There was a scene which jolted me for a second and the scene right at the end of the movie, the very end where a Jinn says "If you know about the Jinn, The Jinn knows about You" this was freaky and was a nice way to try and scare the viewers.

Liked the idea, story seems superstitious but backed by religious background. Great contents and efforts for a short budget movie like it.

I don't get it, why other reviewers keep saying bad acting, I think they acted enough. What more could you ask for?

If you don't see the movie with full attention, You will miss a lot of points. Better watch it carefully, otherwise you will feel like lost in the middle and obviously will end up giving bad reviews.

Characterizing jinn was the toughest thing in the movie, but the way they did it was great. All the especial effects was OK.

Not sure if my review contains spoilers but I checked that anyway, it's terribly important how bad this movie is get out to the viewers. Go see some teen horror flick instead, you'll be glad you did.

What was the worst movie you have seen? Take that movie and times it by 100 times more bad and you have Jinn. I left before it ended, I was going to leave 10 minutes into it but I wasn't sure they'd give me my money back. They might have just said "You were stupid enough to buy a ticket for it, now sleep in your bed". I'm embarrassed for the people who made this movie I'm embarrassed for the people who have been billed in it, I'm more embarrassed for MYSELF for going. Did Hollywood need to burn money? I would have been better off seeing Noah at least I would have understood the plot. Jinn has no plot it was trying to incorporate Islam, Judaism and Christianity together in an attempt to do..to..to I don't know what. Well Islam wasn't around when Isaiah was written and while Mashiach (Yeshua) was around, Christianity wasn't. The crazy guy of the story is chanting in Arabic and has to get some holy water from a Mosque (say what?) but they are reading prophecy from the Torah. It was so dumb, it was worse than dumb there are no words to describe how bad this film was. I don't even recommend it on a free download, even if it's a free download and they send you a baseball hat after you've watched it. The movie is 1 hour 37 minutes I left at 1 hour and 20 minutes and that is time I will never get back and have no idea how at the great throne judgment I'm even going to be able to give account for this time. Was that a spoiler?

Very suspenseful and entertaining, I was startled often. Cool music, good acting, good directing, awesome sound and special effects. I thoroughly enjoyed the film. There was creativity, some humor in places, wonder and stuff to give you chills. I thought I may be scared of walking in the dark after seeing this movie...I'll leave that up to your imagination...there were scenes that made me quiver and shiver and it wasn't because I was sipping on a frozen coke at the theater! However, I believe it would be appropriate for young teens...and has a redeeming message at the end. Great effort, I encourage all to see it and welcome the sequel!

The Jinn concept is a little misconstrued in this movie, leaving the Muslim audience a little confused about what we know about their exhistance. The film does offer good, wholesome entertainment, without having to use profanity, nudity , and the selling of sex. After watching the premiere on Youtube, I have had a change of heart as to my original feelings about this movie. I really liked what the director had to say about the making of this film. It seems he worked really hard and deserves a lot of credit. Muslims should support the work of other Muslims and we should encourage our children to be more creative and do what it is they love to do.

Although Jinn doesn't have any big Hollywood actors, it has a lot of familiar faces and is extremely well acted. The special effects and sound are also incredible, given that it is low budget. Being from Detroit and from the University of Michigan, it has some really cool scenes of some local churches and buildings. The movie is definitely scary but more of a sci-fi and supernatural type of thriller. The plot is a little confusing because there are a lot of flash backs, but in all the flow of the movie is decent. What I liked was the whole concept of the Jinn and therefore I found to movie fairly entertaining. Its definitely worth seeing!

I saw "Jinn", starring Dominic Rains-Captain America: The Winter Soldier, General Hospital_t.v.; Serinda Swan-Graceland_t.v., Breakout Kings_t.v.; Ray Park-Snake Eyes in the G.I.Joe movies, Darth Maul in Star Wars:Episode 1-The Phantom Menace; William Atherton-The Girl Next Door, Die Hard 1&2 and Faran Tahir-Elysium, Iron Man.

This movie is a jumbled mess that is based on an Eastern legend. The narrator says something to the effect of, "In the beginning, God created three things: Man out of clay, Angels out of light and Jinn out of fire." Jinn are evil demon-like creatures. The movie starts with a fight between a man and a Jinn around 1900, with the man winning. The Jinn, being a sore loser, says that he will kill every member in the man's family for eternity-I don't know why he couldn't just kill the man right then and be done with it. Then, the story jumps to the present time-line where Dominic is the current descendant from that man and Serinda is his wife. Ray shows up on their doorstep bearing a gift that informs Dominic of the family curse-just in time, too, because the Jinn decides to attack right about then. William plays a priest that works with Ray and Faran plays a man in a mental ward that just might have some answers- Yep, it's always the crazy ones that save the day. The effects are alright but the story is not consistent;one time a sacred knife works and other times it doesn't. Sometimes, the Jinn shows fantastic powers and other times, it's like he forgot he had them. It just has lots of loop holes. There is a scene after the end credits, so if you sit through the whole movie, you might as well see it, and the best surprise? They announce at the end-sort of like they do in the James Bond movies-"Jinn Will Return"; Boy, do they have some high hopes. One of the reasons I went to see it in the first place was because of Ray Park-I'm a big fan of his-and he does get to show off his martial arts skills, although it is against some drugged-out mental patients that do not put up much of a fight. It's rated "PG-13" for violence and terror and has a running time of 1 hour & 37 minutes. It's not one that I would buy on DVD. I don't think I would even rent it, either. If you really want to see it, wait until it comes to cable.

OK so i am a big horror movie fan and i really like something with a fresh story line, like they did with Paranormal Activity 1 and insidious 1 and This movie just gives you that, a new story line to the horror movies, a concept of "Jinn" which is one of the core belief of Muslims. Moreover, i really liked the way they introduced key Muslim concepts in engaging with jinnat (even though they could have been thorough about it but i guess it would have been too much for the audience to digest). and yes i also really like how they showed unity among all the Abrahamic religions. (and a small punch line by the priest that "You know you could have been a Christian" :p )

So long story short great movie, great acting , great effects + few blunders like the car stuff and jinn and man actually wrestling together but i would really love to see its next part coming sooon.

Highly recommended for a change in taste :)

Fortunate enough to have attended the elegant and awe-inspiring Jinn movie premiere at the Detroit Institute of Arts on April 1, I must say that I am totally sold on Jinn! As a grown man, I've vowed never to jump or get spooked during a suspenseful or scary movie, but I repeatedly found myself in precisely that situation throughout much of the film! As someone who grew up hearing scary tales about the Jinn both at home and while visiting relatives overseas, it was still always hard to conceptualize them physically. However, this film brings them to life in such a way that images of the Jinn will forever be etched in your mind and you'll never be able to shake them!

Shot completely in Michigan, director Ajmal Zaheer Ahmad's "JINN" takes you on a mystical and suspense-riddled journey through time and space. With a prophecy that destines Shan (played by Dominic Rains), an automotive designer, for a showdown with the Jinn- God's third and most mysterious sentient creations made from smokeless fire, the Jinn's unquenchable thirst for meddling in the lives of humans drives him through a hellish ordeal that is bound to keep viewers on the edge of their seats! The incessant stalking of the Jinn prompts Shan to seek help from unlikely sources despite having never heard of these bewildering and menacing creatures to begin with! Gabriel (played by Ray Park), Father Westhoff (played by William Atherton), Ali the mental ward resident (played by Faran Tahir) and wife Jasmine (played by Serinda Swan) are all drawn in to Shan's unpredictable dilemma and are forced to take action against the nefarious and villainous beasts!

Transporting an incredibly popular eastern myth to western audiences, the creators of Jinn bring a gripping, jarring, action-packed cryptic thriller while throwing a fresh new spin on the universally recognized paranormal! A dark and mystifying concept coupled with incredible special effects, stunning visuals, personable characters, solid acting and a tight story-line will make JINN a spring sensation!

Oh, and if you're a car enthusiast, a special, hot new ride designed by the director called the FIREBREATHER was created specifically for this movie! So do yourself a favor and get 'Jinnspired' at your local theaters this Friday, April 4th!

Jinn = Enough said. It just sounds cool but once you see it you will never for get the JINN!

I was fortunate enough to have seen this film at its premier at the DIA in Detroit. After seeing it for the second time it has become one of my favorite films.

This film was amazing. It keeps you on the edge of your seats the entire time and has an great plot. Truly inspirational for independent film makers. Great mix of different genres all together.

The actors were phenomenal really drawing the audience into the story. Each character bringing more to the film making you feel like you are there in the moment.

I can not wait until the make another.

I really just don't know what to fully make of this rubbish. Right from the start this is just a terrible movie that tries in vain to pull itself off as a serious horror.

From it's deplorable premise, acting and dialogue, it's any wonder that anyone involved didn't just gave up halfway through and walk off the set during filming.

For some reason the movie tries to make us believe that only 3 beings were ever created; man made of clay, angels made of light and jinns made of fire. At one point in the movie, we are told and expected to believe that there are no such things as ghosts, poltergeists or demons and that everything bad that happens in the world is the work of the Jinn. So forget everything you've ever learnt before. Plane crashes, disease, wars, terrorism, Kirsten Stewart; they're all the result of Jinns.

Most of the time I couldn't even work out what was going on and after several attempts at trying to make sense of this movie I simply gave up trying, so I never even made it to the end. The dialogue is so soft at times it's like they're whispering to each other knowing that what they're saying is so stupid that hopefully we won't pick up on it. That is until something weird happens then we have the obligatory loud sudden music that blows you out of the room hoping that the sheer shock and inevitable heart attack that follows will somehow turn this crap into some kind of horror movie.

Nothing I saw in this made any sense and it's so disjointed it's like no one even read the script. The main protagonist is somehow the latest in a long line of supposed Jinn killers and now without any real explanation he has evil stalking him. This evil wants to manifest itself in the form of a shadow at the window in a nearby building and a break in at his home which results in some kind of bizarre furniture stacking. All of this is of course supernatural as no human can stack furniture and no voyeur ever cast a shadow in a window but whatever. So we're off to see a priest as the cops didn't take anything seriously and why would they seeing as nothing has happened and no one was hurt, but there's evil afoot so why not go to a priest. This priest who just so happens to know all about him and tells him that evil is stalking him gives him a dagger just in case there's more evil furniture stacking and fluttering papers.

I gave up at this point as I refuse to watch a movie that's making no sense and follows no story format and has no plot. Jinn is a garbage movie and that's where it belongs.
