In the beginning of the times, God created life into universe: light gave birth to angels, earth to men and fire to djin, creatures condemned to dwell in the void between the worlds. One who wakes a djin shall be given three wishes. Upon granting the third, an unholy legion of djins are freed through a doorway between the worlds upon the Earth. In 1127 A.D., in Persia, a sorcerer lures and traps a powerful Djinn in the stone of secret fire. In the present days, a drunken crane operator drops the valuable statue of Ahura Mazda over the assistant of Raymond Beaumont on the harbor, and one worker finds the huge and priceless opal red stone where Djin is seized. Alexandra Amberson, who works in an auction house, receives the stone for evaluation and accidentally awakes Djin. The evil creature is released later, charges the stone with people souls and feeds with their fears, while chasing Alexandra to force to make three wishes and unleash the demoniac fiends upon Earth.
Leave your thoughts about Wishmaster.
| Kalamazoo GazetteJames SanfordMakeup artist-turned-director Robert Kurtzman splashes around as much blood as possible to cover up the fact that 'Wishmaster's' script is about as consistently terrifying as 'Pocahontas.' |
| StarburstLuke SpaffordSome 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? |
| The Hollywood NewsKat HughesIt 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. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksGruesome, nasty and mean-spirited, with emphasis on gory, gooey special effects. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesIf you put Wes Craven's name on a dog turd, that doesn't make it a croissant. |
| Boxoffice MagazineDale WinoguraA lukewarm stew of supernatural horror, mythical fantasy and gratuitous gore. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovSends viewers screaming into the lobby demanding refunds. |
| User ReviewNick EArguably one of the best horror movies I've ever seen...scared the shit out of my grandpa diaper for sho! |
