Low budget story of a man searching for his lost love who has been carried away by an evil djinn. Set in the time of the Arabian nights, this is an often good looking film that often over comes the meager budget by some clever tricks and by very good special effects. Unfortunately the not all of the tricks work such as the film using cuts to say see and angel rise up-first we see the face the we cut to the feet off the ground. That works once, but by the sixth or tenth variation on the theme it grows tiring. The cast is uneven with some characters going off well, the hero, while others are bad, the angel. Its a mixed bag film that kind of works and kind of doesn't.
