I recently watched the movie "Sijjin," and unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations in terms of scariness. Despite being categorized as a horror film, the movie lacked the thrills and scares that I anticipated. One of the few positive aspects of the movie was the inclusion of a couple of memorable scenes. Firstly, there was a scene involving a realistic portrayal of black magic, which was executed effectively. Additionally, there was a basement scene featuring a group of white ladies wearing telekom outfits, a unique and previously unseen concept. These scenes were commendable and managed to stand out amidst the overall disappointment of the film. However, the weak and predictable storyline was a major drawback. The lack of originality and depth in the plot made it easy to foresee what would unfold next, resulting in diminished suspense and excitement. Furthermore, the performances by some of the actors fell short, failing to elevate the movie to a higher level. All in all, "Sijjin" failed to deliver on its promise of being a truly scary experience. The movie lacked a compelling story, had predictable twists, and featured mediocre acting. If you are looking for a genuinely terrifying horror film, this one is unlikely to meet your expectations. I challenge any director who can come out the really scary movie with originally based on true story or with strong powerful script and the best with unknown actor and actress that can revealed about the alarm ghaib, black magic and paranormal activity.

Maybe this time I give a little appreciation to the writer of this film, this one writer previously made a story for a film that I have despised.

But in this film I was made a little complicated to judge, you could say this film was worthy and the rest was not worthy.

Unexpected jumpscares and visual effects that deserve appreciation, in this film the audience is made afraid of every scene of the film set at night.

Although the plot of the ending can be a little predictable, but the tension and good visuals make me a little happy.

Maybe if the plot of this film was unpredictable I would give it a 7 but the predictable storyline made me change my mind.

6/10 is the right score.

I do not understand what the director wishes to achieve through this adaption. Are you implying that one should not pray because it's not going to help them from evil doings? Because that's exactly what you are doing, ever since the released of Makmun series. You are putting fear into people that if they perform their prayer alone, they might as well have this particular evil praying with them too. Even if this exists, do you have to make a big deal out of this? By spreading more fear than encouraging them to actually praying? Shame on the director who thinks this is a masterpiece. Because no.

The movie is boring and lag, the story is irritating and it makes no sense like bro people will get possessed by watching this movie you must be kidding me right. Me and my friends were actually afraid before watching because of the reviews but we started doing our own work before half of the movie was done 😂 totally the movie is worthless and time waste I regret watching it even it's not like it is not scary or something it is scary the scenes are scary to but it is way to meaningless just like hereditary movie scary scenes itself is meaningless to be frank I suggest you guys better don't watch it cause your mind will be ruined because of things happening here.

"Sijjin" unfortunately did not resonate with me. As a Muslim, I found several aspects of the film deeply problematic.

Firstly, the poster itself felt off-putting, with imagery that leaned heavily into dark and ominous vibes. It didn't entice me to delve deeper, instead raising concerns about the film's potential disrespect for my faith.

Secondly, the inclusion of black magic as a central theme was a major turn-off. Black magic is strictly forbidden in Islam, and its portrayal in the film felt exploitative and sensationalized. This not only felt disrespectful but also inaccurate, failing to represent the true essence of Islamic beliefs and practices.

While I cannot speak for everyone, I believe "Sijjin" missed the mark in its handling of sensitive religious themes. It would have benefited greatly from a more nuanced and respectful approach to Islam, both visually and narratively.
