Summary: Excellent movie. I am totally impressed with the Djin, WOW
Review: I don't even LIKE horror films but I am addicted to this one. The characters did a wonderful job and the Djin himself is the best demon-creature I've ever seen. I think this movie should win an award for its category!s

Summary: What were they thinking
Review: Why would Wes Craven attach his name to a trash film like Wishmaster. Thank God he didnt direct it, I would still be his fan but never think of him the same way. There are three flaws of Wishmaster, like why was the lead character always in the same set of clothes, there are three parts of this film where the boom mike is visible to the pole, and last but not least the acting!!!! The plot is like something you dream up at a stop light. If I could give it no stars here I would happily do so.

Summary: Good film
Review: I must admit, this is one of my favorite horror films. Tammy Lauren kind of overacts, but that doesn't ruin the movie. There is plenty of gore to satisfy gorehounds. And for the budget this fim had, the CGI and creature effects were incredible. This is recommended to everyone who is a fan of the genre. GO AND SEE IT. NOW. (10 out of 10!!)

Summary: Unremarkable but not totally horrible
Review: Who knows what prompted me to see this movie in the first place? I certainly cannot answer that, but I guess it saying something that I didn't walk out midway through the movie. Of course that might be because the movie is relatively short. It isn't dreadfully bad, but just thoroughly unremarkable in all respects. Cheesy dialogue, disengaged acting, and special effects that are competent though hardly inspiring is what distinguishes this movie. Some people with statue fetishes might find a few scenes noteworthy but otherwise this movie leaves no lasting impact. The fact that film, which performed tepidly at the box office, inspired 3 sequels (at least) serves as further testament to the utterly deplorable state of the US fiml industry. That having been said, renting this film will not leave you feeling totally ripped off, so enjoy the limited entertainment value it provides.

Summary: DJINN AND TONIC ANYONE?
Review: The horror genre has suffered in the past decade from derivative movies; sex sex sex movies; and generally unimaginative scripts. WISHMASTER is a refreshing, albeit gory, change, and thanks to the skills of an inventive director, and a tongue in cheek cast, succeeds in establishing a different kind of horror. As Jenny O'Hara, who is great as the folklore teacher, exlains to innocent Tammy Lauren, genies (or djinn) are not the Barbara Eden, happy little genies who come out and grant wonderful wishes. No, djinn are malevolent, evil and want only to rule our world. Andrew Divoff is frightfully good as the Djinn, and in assuming his human form, an antithesis of the handsome hunk. With his blazing blue eyes and potmarked skin, Divoff's handsomeness is swarthy and perfect for the part. The effects are good; the gore is plenty, but creatively filmed. I'm looking forward to the sequels, and even if they aren't as good, they tried something different. By the way, Tony Todd (Candyman) has a brief scene in which his desire to "escape" is granted micheivously.

Summary: My Wish List
Review: Andrew Divoff is the whole show here as the "Wishmaster". He seems to be having the time of his life here as Djinn, an evil genie from "A 1001 Arabian Tales". He is bound to Tammy Lauren, and manages to get powerful by manipulating people into making wishes, which he uses to kill them, kind of 'be careful what you wish for' style. The ingrediants are all here to make a great horror movie; good villian, good story, high concept kills, but it falls short. There is little suspense, and eventually you can figure out the end. If I had a wish, I would wish for Wes Craven to have directed it instead of producing it.

Summary: I Wish This Movie Would Go Away...Forever!
Review: I love this film. Its great the way the Djinn goes about twisting wishes. An intersting idea and surprising that no one thought of it earlier. Andrew Divoff is superb as the Wishmaster. Tammy Lauren gives an acceptable performace as the heroine (although it is an exaggeration to describe her performace as `fabulous' as some reviewers below have done). Andrew Divoff steals the show. Period. The special effects are surprisingly quite good for a low budget movie. My only criticism is the is that the film is not very long, an extra 10/15 minutes would have made much more enjoyable. Considering that the film was not exactly a blockbuster at the box office, the extras on the DVD are also very good (containing an interesting audio commentary). This is not a `horror' movie as such, so don't expect any frights or sleepless nights. I would call it more a fantasy. Good fun. Enjoy.
