GL84 When her new husband is accidentally crippled, a woman finds that her friend has become possessed by the spirit of the Djinn and tries to hold off granting the third wish to allow his race to take over the planet as his love for her has become too great.This ended up being quite a disappointing entry in the series that's filled with way too many problems to overcome it's good points. The main point here is obviously the ridiculously lame and contrived love angle between the two, which is a unique plot, but goes nowhere with it. The initial meetings here before the possession is a series of long, dragged-out series of scenes petitioning for his chances which isn't all that fun to watch while setting him up as more of a creep than anything, while their own personal struggles don't endear them to this one either as there's very little fun about these scenes. Even after the transformation occurs, their continued arguing and hostility just makes for a dragged out experience here, an while there's the fact that the awakener actually casts the three desired wishes which is an original idea, but this one completely wastes this intriguing idea that drains all the horror from the story by adding in the love sub-theme. Not only is the seduction attempts completely lame and really intrudes on the big kills here, the last two-thirds of the movie is simply the Djinn trying to explain to the other Djinns why he cannot grant the third wish to open the gates of Hell, which is a totally laughable series of scenes as both the creature and also in his human form appealing against the creatures before whining and crying to let him finish. It actually gets boring waiting and waiting to see how it would play out trying to win her over, and this is such a detrimental negative to the film. Another gripe as well is that the wishes granted by the Djinn never really had any negative consequences like the first two as the Djinn never tricks anybody and, except for one, nobody actually got harmed while making their wishes which really defeats the whole purpose for being there. Lastly, the film really seems intent on going overboard here with too many extra-long scenes that go nowhere but really tend to eat up time here, including the unnecessary bonus kills as well as a Terminator plot who must kill her before the Djinn grants the third wish, but this is so clumsily inserted it sticks out so badly it's dropped as quickly as it's brought up in a clumsy sword-fight, just like the equally clumsy alley- fight that's just pitiful which manages to bring this down quite significantly. That said, there's some good stuff here in the fact that this one makes up for a lot of that by inserting far more nudity than any other entry in the series, which not only features their sex scenes and rather sleazy spying scenes but also the meeting place in a strip club comes to mind giving this one a lot more than expected. The only other feature that works here is the finale which does have some nice action scenes throughout as the true plot is revealed and there's dozens of creatures breaking through to prevent the escape only to be trapped back before in the same room again and including a fantastic burning- down-the-house segment. While it manages to contain some nice stuff along the way, this is easily the weakest in the series.Rated R: Nudity, Graphic Violence, several sex scenes and Graphic Language.

fedor8 You gotta love B-movie nonsense… "Fear the djinn", says the briefly-lived narrator. I thought he was referring to alcohol, and I for one think that the trials and tribulations of a gin-based AA group would make for a great horror film… comedy. Though not quite as funny as this crap.If the Gin can force/hypnotize people to cut out their own tongues then why doesn't he simply force them to make three wishes every time he wants a soul? Instead, he goes through all this trouble. But being nothing more than a sort of poor man's Satan, I guess the Gin does have a LOT of time on his hands… He really has nothing better to do than turn bartenders into pimples on strippers' bare behinds.The Wishmaster can't fulfill the 3rd wish because… of LOVE. Yes, love seems to create all sorts of loopholes and difficulties in the Djinn Resurrection Manual. Demonology is apparently such a complex, tricky subject, so full of semantic traps, childish word-play and cheap logic-twisting that even the demons themselves – who had an eternity to flip through its pages and learn the damn rules - bicker like Tasmanian devils over the fine points regarding how best to unleash the Armageddon onto 6 billion morons. But with these incompetent incubii around, even Armageddon wouldn't live up to all the hype, I imagine.Lisa sticks with her wheelchair-bound boyfriend, Mr.Grumpy. Nothing seems to cheer this guy up. He wins 10 million dollars in a legal settlement: still grumpy. He gets the use of his legs back: still grumpy.Two demons meet for a forest duel: so how do they fight? First they draw swords like a couple of sloppy internet nerds, and then practice a few martial arts moves. I mean, if you happen to be an all-powerful demon and you feel you must copy human fighting styles then at least use nuclear weapons, stealth bombers, or something a little more impressive like that.The budget was so low that they couldn't afford Lisa fake nails that would avoid looking as if they'd fall off any minute.Two waitresses appear in very small roles. They are both sex-starved. But I forget that this is a soft porn horror film… The cast looks like it's been hijacked from the set of an American TV soaper – or your typical US porn set, if there's a difference between the two.But no matter how dumb it is, it's not quite as inept as W2. That's impossible. I wished for a turd as bad as that one, but apparently the Wishmaster was too busy flirting with his next blond "victim". "Nib Shugaroth Baheem".

whitedragongirl As I read the comments of this movie, I was not quite sure if I should watch it. I did not watch parts I, II and III but that was not needed to follow the line of the movie. But I was glad I did watch it. There was not too much gore and the right amount of action. The demon does not look really scary. And surprisingly nicely mixed with romance and even some humor. Acting was also okay. Its about a girl, whose boyfriend had a motorcycle accident and cannot walk. The girl gets involved with the djinn who has invaded the body of the lawyer that works for her and her boyfriend. By trying to grant her wishes he wants to set free other djinns. So if you like horror-movies and your girlfriend does not, this is one to watch. It is not a top-movie but quite okay to watch. Not really worth renting but if its on TV just give it a try.

extreme_superstar1 I'm a fan of horror movies, and I've seen quite a few of them. When I first heard of this new movie called Wishmaster,and got a chance to see it, I was thrilled. good movie, good story,and enough gore to make it a decent horror movie. Then, the sequel followed, and I was happy with that one too. Then, i saw the 3rd and fourth ones. Boy, were those a waste of money to rent. Not only did the story make no sense,but whoever wrote these pieces of cinematic garbage paid no attention whatsoever to the previous entries,and changed the rules of what the Djinn could and couldn't do. And then making him a love-struck demon who was torn between loving the heroine,and not opening the gate between realms to free his race upon the Earth,as he was trying to do in the last three entries. Then after seeing the credits after 90 plus minutes of this drivel,and seeing that is was made in Canada, I knew that the series was dead. The only really good horror movies made in Canada were Scanners,and the original Black Christmas. These are embarrassments to the series,and the first two are the best,and will always be,and are movies that you can watch over and over again.
