Salem Horror Fest ’23 Movie Review: Sisters Endure The Jinn Possession of Pakistani Folklore In K/XI’s “MAYA”

Written, directed, and edited by K/XI, MAYA tells a refreshingly unique jinn-based possession story rooted in Pakistani culture and the unyielding bond of sisterhood. Whereas most mainstream possession films revel in lurid gore and exploitation of its women leads, MAYA takes a grounded take on the subject that’s tenderly violent and tragic.
