From the beginning, stories of angels and men have captured our imaginations and have been etched into our history crossing all boundaries of culture, religion, and time. These two races have dominated the landscape of modern mythology for countless centuries, almost washing away the evidence that a third ever existed. This third race, born of smokeless fire, was called the jinn. Similar to humans in many ways, the jinn lived invisibly among us and only under dire or unusual circumstances were our paths ever meant to cross.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was the first American film to center jinn mythology from Islamic tradition, though critics noted it flattened complex folklore into generic monster-movie beats.
Director Ajmal Zaheer Ahmad literally founded his own car dealership to finance this, and the 'Firebreather' muscle car was a real prototype they built. The Chrysler product placement is because he struck a deal—demons and Dodge, apparently natural partners.
