Plot

An ancient lamp (the genie kind) is found.  It is taken to a museum, and when the archaeologist's daughter rubs it and pulls off the cap an evil genie is unknowingly unleashed.  That night she and five of her horny friends sneak into the basement of the museum to spend the night and party.

Review

I had never heard of this movie before, in fact my aunt recently let me borrow some tapes with movies that were recorded off from HBO, and I was accidentally watched this instead of Return of the living dead part 2.  It was a pretty crappy movie, and it could have been better.

First of all the acting was very sub par.  And it was even laughable at some points.  It did have some pretty original kills, my favorite being when a guy hits an old lady in the head with a double sided axe, then she head buts him while it is still sticking out off her head.

Second was the genie, it looked like a sock puppet modeled after a Magic the gathering charter.  This thing was firkin retarded looking.  It was a giant booger.

Still the idea behind this film was good but the makers just didn't seem to go all out in the process of making it.

Gore

I was quite surprised, we get an old lady axed in the face, a head put into a ceiling fan, a spear through the stomach, a squeezed and twisted head, bit off fingers, bit neck, and even more.  The gore was pretty heavy in this one.
