*HIGHLY RECOMMENDED*
First off, I get why so many people disliked this movie, but because of Iranian's background of "جن" or jinn, they'd find themselves in a deeper connection with the narration and the creature itself.
I mean, us, Iranians, we've heard so many stories and tales about these mysterious beings throughout our childhood and teenage hood so we're basically reliving our imagination while watching this movie.
We've been told of a vague being with no definite face of its own, lurking in the shadows, moving through winds, capable of imitating those who we know, and seemingly tormenting you for no apparent reason...
Also, I think they did a great job of remaking the suffocating atmosphere during Iran-Iraq war.
Anyways, this was one of the scariest movies I've ever watched so just give it a chance. ;D
