Criticism
Filmreporter.de:
"With" Musallat " break the production companies Mia film and Dada film a Turkish taboo subject: the jinn. This means as much as spirit or demon. In the Koran, these beings is devoted a chapter, which states in part: " ... and I have just about created the jinn and the men that they should worship Me ... ". At the time when the Prophet Muhammad moved from Mecca to Medina, the beings of the underworld and people have made a pact. No one should ever leave his world. But after being ignored by the people of the Covenant was no longer binding for the jinn. With " Musallat " the subject is treated for the first time on the big screen. "
Stuttgarter Zeitung:
"With stunning visual effects and horror -esque scenes, the director approaches this mystery. "
