A dark, horror-tinged reimagining of the Aladdin legend where a cursed lamp manifests nightmares and death rather than wishes, pitting survivors against both the genie's chaos and a villain's ambition.

This genie destroys everything in its way by turning the keeper’s thoughts into living nightmares. After witnessing the death of his fellow adventurers when the genie is released, Aladdin and surviving friend Ali turn to the village elder to uncover the history of the lamp, only to find the evil Shahir has been following them, hoping to take hold of the lamp and fulfill his own diabolical plans to have unlimited power. destroy their friend along with the ring.
