Image Nation's Djinn will be made available to a wider audience on Premium Video on Demand (PVOD) over the coming weeks. The supernatural thriller, directed by Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre), will make its exclusive television premiere on Etisalat's e-life on July 29.
“I remember going to see the film when it was released in UAE cinemas and felt immensely proud that this was not only a UAE production, but also filmed in our country,” says Humaid Rashid Saho, the chief executive at Etisalat’s e-life.
Djinn retells the old folklore tale of Umm Al Duwais and gives a modern spin on the story for new generations. The film follows the plight of an Emirati couple who move back from the United States to their hometown of Ras Al Khaimah, only to discover that their lives are connected with those of the djinn. The film stars Khalid Laith and Razane Jammal, as well as Saoud Al Kaabi and Soumaya Akaaboune.
The film crossed the Dh1 million mark during its opening weekend over Halloween last year.
Watch Djinn on e-life PVOD from July 29 until August 30
