Lebanese actress Razane Jammal makes her feature film debut in Tobe Hooper’s Abu Dhabi-set supernatural thriller Djinn. The 24-year-old stunner plays an Emirati woman forced to return from America to her country by her husband, who is unaware that the new home that awaits them is built on cursed land.

She tells Rolling Stone:

You know, werewolves and vampires work really well in the West. In the East, it’s more about the djinn – everybody kind of fears them. So I really think that the movie is going to be a success, because it’s a topic that hasn’t really been talked about.

There’s a lot of local talent – it’s a real East meets West – it’s very interesting and it’s a very beautiful mix, and I think it’s going to work everywhere.

Djinn costars the gorgeous Aiysha Hart (in her movie debut), Malik McCall (Dreamcatcher) and Khalid Laith (The Devil’s Double) as Jammal’s husband. The ImageNation-produced film is Hooper’s first directorial effort since 2005’s Mortuary.
