Tune In Tuesday #3 "The Lamp"

from the back cover:

After a group of thieves decide to ransack the home of a strange, old Gypsy woman, murdering her in the process, they unwittingly free a vengeful genie named Jinn who has been held captive for centuries in an ancient oil lamp. Soon after, the lamp is acquired by a local museum. But as Alex Wallace, daughter of the museum's curator, decides to sneak a group of her friends into the museum after hours for a night of partying, she doesn't realize that Jinn is looking for a new 'keeper' and that Alex is the perfect vessel to carry out the genie's diabolical actions...

This one gets points for taking the "group of kids in an isolated location get killed off in creative ways 1 by 1" of the slasher movie and adds the twist of it being a evil Djinn, a giant, green glowing monster . It has a handmade charm and the death scenes are creative and the monster is spectacular,  not a lost classic by any means but a fun little genre effort for those that have seen the usual and want something a little different.
