The genie joins the Tall Man and Michael Myers as one of the greatest horror villans of all time. It helps a lot that star Andrew Divof looks so evil naturally and that he's a great actor.

Loved this whole franchise. But the first 2 are the best and here’s why. The guy who plays the gin in human form Andrew something Google him? He looks more evil in human form than gin form. Gin is basically the devil in the Holy Quran. So this is taken from actual supernatural lore. The way he talks it is a riot. Every wish twisted into a persons deepest nightmares. Then he snatches your soul. There are 4 movies in this and only 1 and 2 have this fantastic actor playing the gin. Part 3 and 4 both suffered in part with bad casting, writing and the lose of the only person who can play that role. I’m not sure what his reasoning was when he turned down part 3 and I’m not sure if they asked him but it was a dumb move if they didn’t. But I’m sure they did. They may have begged him to play part 4 by far the worst of them all. The gin falling in love! I mean come on lol. But this one is awesome and you should watch it.
