Wishmaster (1997)

You won't be disappointed!

Instant Favorite.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This isn't the kind of movie that leaves you at the edge of your seat, it's not scary in the sense that it'll keep you up at night. But it's a horror movie from 1997, which in my opinion, makes it good just based off the fact that it was something that hadn't been done before. The plot is interesting enough that there are no dull moments, you sympathize with the main character, and there's plenty of gore if that's what you're into. My standpoint on the movie is that it's just like Child's Play (the 3rd one if we're getting specific) it's not scary, it won't give you nightmares, but it's a timeless classic. If you can appreciate horror in all of its forms, and know what to expect from a 90s horror film, I highly recommend this one.

Receiving a rare gem at work, a gemologist finds that it contained a power genie known as a Djinn that is now targeting her and her friends to make the wishes needed to give it the strength to free its fellow entities.Overall this one was quite an enjoyable effort with a lot to really like here. What really works here is the fact that this one really has a lot of fun here with the title creature and his powers which is pretty much constant throughout this. It starts off nicely here with the opening massacre of the old-time court of the different grisly actions befalling the troupe as people get their limbs and bodily features morphed into various monstrosities, a person's skeleton rips itself free of its body, demonic hallucinations and other rather fun encounters here that makes this such a fantastic opening display of his powers which is continued throughout here with a rather nice amount of wish-granting. The main factor of generating all kinds of twisted fates and occurrences that befall the minor characters he runs into that propels the first half here which not only makes it fun to see how he twists around their wishes but also manages to get this one pretty gory and bloody here in regards to how he kills those is quite appealing here and generates the kind of enjoyment in the plot it makes this one even more fun. Even better here is the more physical torments unleashed here, which provides this with the kind of action required here to help this along as scenes like the trip inside the stone to see where he had been imprisoned to show the inner mass of the wailing wall of crying souls, a throne of skulls and twisted stone pieces and the giant monster-like dog that patrols the different hallways and corridors in a pretty chilling sequence, while the finale party here gives this one an incredibly enjoyable end with the absolutely crazy assault on the guests, the numerous chasing around by the various beings under its' control and the fantastic deaths that are a part of the tormenting done against her to force her into action, and to wrap it all up in the manner here of finally trapping it against really gives this one quite a lot to like here. There's not a whole lot here that doesn't work, which all centers around the first half here which falls into a really predictable manner of meeting up with strangers and changing around their wish to suit him while she experiences the flashing image of the attack, a process itself that comes and goes whenever it's convenient for the story, but the repetition of it all does seem to cause this one some pattern that drops a lot of suspense from the tactic. As well, the joking nature of this one might wear thin for some, but there's not a whole lot that really hurt this one as beyond that, it's still quite a bit of fun.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

Suffers from the same ailments of all bad horror movies - bad lighting, bad sets, bad acting, bad writing, bad costumes, bad make-up effects and bad directing. Now to be fair the cast of Wishmaster are each and all talented or at least talented enough, but none of that mass of talent really makes it onto the screen. The lighting problem makes it appear as though every scene is shot on a set, instead of the desired intention of having it appear as though the actors exist in a real place. When the characters speak and move it looks fake, forced, the end result is that its obvious everyone is acting. This is a good movie to busy yourself with other tasks while its on. Wishmaster?

(This a re-watch, I have seen this once before) This movie start of with a bang, I loved the first scene in the movie, very odd and very gross, the effect was really good in those scenes. I found plot really well done, I found Wishmaster not too scary, I found him a little too funny to be scary.However I found him more creepy when he had the humans face, he got one hell of a evil face.I was shocked with some of the gore in this movie , wow, I didn't not see that come, Spoiler: (He makes a prisoner, rip a cop Jaw right of his face, Ouch!) that had to hurt! , really fun to watch!This was a really good fun movie, the acting was not too bad in this, it's really suited it well and the effect were nice in as well.I going to give this movie 7 out of 10,
