...a seemingly foolproof setup that's employed to distressingly erratic effect by Kurtzman...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 30, 2020

Little of it makes sense, but the djinn's powers of deception are quite humorous and the look of the picture is unexpectedly impressive.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Sep 25, 2020

The joy of Wishmaster [is that] it's a game to see if the audience can out-think and out-predict what the Djinn will do and how he'll do it.

It starts well enough, with a Hellraiser-esque moment, but soon dissolves into expected horror trope, after horror trope, before an ending that renders the entire movie defunct and unnecessary.

Some of us started our journey with Wishmaster and through its unbridled sense of silliness; it is our 'classic', our entrance to the genre. What more could we wish for?

Sends viewers screaming into the lobby demanding refunds.

What ensues is a pageant of special effect set-pieces where innocents are flayed, morphed and disfigured beyond belief and in extreme close-up.
