Summary: "I Can Smell Your Fear......."
Review: In the first Wishmaster movie, we are introduced to the Djinn, an evil genie that has a great amount of power, yet it can only be used in the form of granting wishes. Of course, his wishes do not come without a price. When the person who has awoken the Djinn makes a third and final wish, a doorway between a world of evil and the world as we know it opens, allowing the army of the Djinn free reign of the Earth and it's inhabitants. In this first film, a gem specialist named Alexandra comes across the huge fire opal in which the Djinn resides, and upon inspecting the opal awakens the Djinn (Andrew Divoff). As people's souls are being stolen, and lives are being taken by the Djinn, she investigates the Persian legends behind the creature in hopes of finding a way to defeat him and send him back into the confines of the fire opal. Will she prevail, or will human greed win her conscience and cause her to make all three wishes?In the sequel to the aforementioned film, a few people break into the esteemed Beaumont collection and steal some valuable pieces of art. In doing so, they sound alarms and are confronted by guards. In a hurried rush to exit the building, one of the thieves knocks over a Persian sculpture (the Ahura Mazda) and finds lodged inside a huge fire opal. Morgana (Holly Fields) grabs the opal, thus awakening to Djinn to again wreak havoc on the world. Cops arrive to find the Djinn disguised as a human, and arrest him for the robbery in addition to the murders of some of the guards. During his time in jail, the Djinn tempts several inmates into making wishes. It's up to Morgana to find a way to send back the evil she unintentionally awoke. Both of these movies are great, and are definitely some of the better films with Wes Craven's name on them. The effects are spectacular. From the very first scene in the first film, the viewer is cringing in disgust. At the same time, one must laugh at the sick and twisted way the Djinn fulfills peoples wishes. He epitomizes the infamous phrase "be careful what you wish for." There is certainly an excellent balance between gore, scares, and dark humor that is pulled off quite well in both of these films. For B horror flicks, the acting is also superb. Andrew Divoff does an excellent job playing a creepy, evil, twisted genie. There are some notable cameos as well by people such as the "Candyman" (Tony Todd) and Jason Vorhees (Kane Hodder), actors who any fan of the genre can appreciate. Both of these are great horror films that should be added to anyone's library, particularly if you are a fan of Wes Craven, or even just some great splatter/gore films. When you consider the fact that these are basically two movies for the price of one, I don't know why anyone wouldn't want to go ahead and purchase these films!

Summary: Not Your Basic Fairy Godmother
Review: Now this was a surprise. Even a quick examination of the cover and blurb for this DVD while convince you that you are holding a Class C potboiler that is most valuable as a vehicle for the consumption of popcorn. Ugly monsters, splattered people, and, of course, bad acting. This was exactly what I had in mind when I picked this up, only to discover that these films are a notch or two above schlock horror. In fact, they are actually great fun. The plots are nearly identical. An ancient Persian statue of Ahura Mazda is brought into the U.S. by a private collector, Raymond Beaumont (Robert Englund of 'Nightmare on Elm Street' fame). The statue's first hostile act is to fall of the boat onto Beaumont's assistant, and breaks into a zillion pieces. One of these pieces is a weird red gem that is promptly lifted by a dockworker and pawned. The jewel finds its way to an antique dealer and into the hands of Shannon Amberson (Wendy Benson). She has a friend run laser tests on the jewel, it breaks, and a demonic embryo creeps out, eats the friend and heads of into the night. An ancient prophecy requires that the demon, who goes by the name of Demarest (Andrew Divoff), must acquire souls by granting wishes, one to a customer. When he reaches the right number of souls he has to get Wendy to make three wishes he can grant, and then he can bring his fellow djinn into our world and turn us into walking lunch boxes. The basic difference between film one and two is that in the second film the woman's name is Morgana (Holly Fields) and her friend Gregory (Paul Johannson) has a part longer than 3 minutes. Otherwise, number two is a clone of number one. The surprise is that the acting is much better than it should be (Divoff is terrific), and the silly wish device is actually made to work by creating some really devious ways of granting a wish. The special effects are simple, but good, and the gore is kept to the amount needed to make sure that you know that this really is a horror movie. I don't think this series (there's also a number three) will ever reach cult status, but it is still gourmet popcorn eating fare. If you like funky horror movies, these films are for you.

Summary: Djinn are not imajinary beings...
Review: The Holy Quran speaks of jinn as one of two spicies to be held accountable for their actions on "The Day of Judgement". They are actual beings livng simultaneously on earth with human beings in an unseen parallel world. This film depicts some of the means by which human beings are deluded by illusions of wealth or power. It demonstrates how ones greed or lust for material things can be exploited through the whispers and suggestions of an evil entity becoming blinded to any possible consequences. In a Hollywood sort of way it demonstrates how ones lower desires can bring about ruination . It should definitely make you think twice about what you wish for.

Summary: Just for the menus and extra features alone I rate this a 5
Review: This is one of the better DVD's I have ever bought! The special features and behind the scenes stuff on the first one rivals any special features on any other DVD and the second movie has cool stuff too. The annimated menus are awesome! Somebody really put a lot of work into this package overall. It would have been easy to just make the movies with no menus and no features for the price but they really went the extra mile! The movies are great; very gory with a great story. I really reccomend that you buy this, especially for the great price!

Summary: Very well-done low budget horror film
Review: This is one of the most original ideas ever done in a horror movie. The first one had better special effects which helped it along a bit more, however, the acting lacking in some characters was made up for by the believable Djinn (played by Andrew Divoff) and a few other minor characters. I really enjoyed the few special effects that they had and the ones they used really had to be played back again because the more you thought about it the more spooked you got. I enjoyed this one almost as much as the first, the first had fewer laughs and more hooror in it.
