Wishmaster

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Wishmaster searches for horror in the exploits of a supernatural being -- one whose powers, alas, evidently do not include the ability to summon a compelling script.

An extravaganza of bad special effects and worse acting Go to Full Review
Chris Hewitt (UK) Empire Magazine Jan 1, 2000
watching with friends, especially the sort you open with a ring-pull, as it's more likely to raise shrieks of laughter than horror. Go to Full Review

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

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

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. Go to Full Review

Feb 26, 2019 A fun enjoyable movie with gore that looks good although the cgi looks outdated its a fun movie too check out
Kylo R Nov 16, 2018 Dont care what anyone says, I bloody loved this film!!!!!
Ron S Sep 2, 2018 I seen this movie before but its been a long while. Look Wishmaster is not the greatest movie ever but its not too bad to watch infact if you just sit back and relax and take it for what it is you might enjoy this movie. It wasn't as bad as fans and critics made it out to be. I thought the storyline was smart I enjoyed watching the djinn trick people into making wishes that would actually come back to haunt them in the long run. The acting wasn't the best but for this type of movie it just needs to be decent and the acting was decent enough. The character the djinn was pretty awesome he was different from your Freddys,Jasons and Michael Myers. Its very hard to find a horror movie thats just gonna blow you away mostly because the star of the show is the Killer but Wishmaster dosen't do too bad of a job here . This movie was not made to win any Academy Awards but if you can take this movie for what it is you should enjoy this movie See more
Jun 27, 2018 Classic with ambitious effects and a hellish ending sequence. Of course it's a little silly at times, but it delivers the 90s low-budget horror vibes that many of us love. Also, the villain appears very devilish. See more
Kylo P May 29, 2018 Like Troll 2 or Miami Connection, this is further proof that extreme sincerity mixed with extreme stupidity can be a potentially wonderful combo. With an array of eye-rolling dialogue, over-the-tippy-top performances, convoluted lore, and some surprisingly effective gore effects, Wishmaster deserves to be among the best of the "so-bad-it's-good" genre.

Rey G May 11, 2018 Seriously ?? I can't understand the low reviews... it's not breathe taking but it holds its own SO..... get off ur high horse ?? try not hurting urself realizing ur like the rest of us just only too critical and just try to enjoy a movie ??!!!
