Sijinn. The Book of Blood is a mystical thriller that plunges the viewer into the dark depths of human passion, jealousy and magic. This film tells the story of how destructive emotions can turn love into hate, and redemption into revenge. The plot is based on ancient myths and magical practices, in which real and supernatural realities intersect.

Irma is a young and beautiful woman whose life seems perfect in the eyes of others. However, behind the external well-being there is a spiritual drama. She has long been in love with her cousin Galan, with whom she is having an affair. But unlike her, Galan has been married to another woman for many years and is raising a daughter. Despite his love affair with Irma, he is not going to divorce and leave his family. This creates a crack in their relationship, giving rise to a feeling of resentment, unrequited love and jealousy in Irma.

When the lovers have another fight, Irma loses her child in a miscarriage, which becomes a catalyst for an internal storm and ultimately a decisive moment in her destiny. Destroyed by grief and rage, the girl decides to take revenge on Galan and his family for all the suffering she has endured.

Irma's dark, desperate decision leads her to a sorcerer, and she turns to magic to enact her revenge. With the help of dark forces, she steals Galan's hair and blood to cast a deadly curse on his wife. The sorcerer helps Irma perform an ominous ritual that begins five nights of horror. Each night, one of the women from Galan's wife's family will die until her entire family is gone.

As the plot develops, the film becomes increasingly tense and dark, and the viewer is immersed in a world of witchcraft, tormented passions and spiritual decay. The mystical curse acts not only on the physical level, but also penetrates the psychology of the main characters, forcing them to make decisions that lead to tragic consequences.

The film raises questions about the power of love, revenge and the destructive nature of obsession. Irma's revenge becomes manic, her decision not only destroys those she considers enemies, but also leads her to moral collapse. The curse she casts becomes a symbol of her inner discord and inability to forgive. She tries to get rid of pain and loss by destroying another, but soon realizes that revenge does not bring relief, but only increases her suffering.
