The premise

Algeria, 1960. A section of French paratroopers are sent in search of a missing aircraft in the Algerian desert. The wreckage of the plane is quickly located, but there are no survivors, just a suitcase stamped “Top Secret”. Stormed by enemy soldiers, the troops find refuge in a strange abandoned citadel. Despite warnings from the place’s Guardian to leave at once, they wake up the Djinns, the evil spirits of the desert .

Horror Vault's take

Algeria, 1960: a squad of French paratroopers hunting for a downed aircraft in the Sahara stumbles upon far more than wreckage and classified secrets. Pinned down inside a crumbling desert citadel by enemy forces, they soon discover that the structure's walls hide a far older and deadlier threat. Drawing on North African mythology, the film pits modern soldiers against something that weapons and tactics cannot easily explain. War and the supernatural collide in a dusty, claustrophobic siege that escalates relentlessly.
