After inadvertently freeing an evil Djinn from his gemstone prison, an auction house gemologist fights to bring his rampages to an end, as they include stealing the souls of the hapless humans whose wishes bring them to ironic early ends. Heavy on the computer-assisted effects, with some mitigating touches, such as Ted Raimi in a cameo and Englund as a stodgy art collector. Craven acted as Executive Producer, but later removed his name. [More]

Reviews for Wishmaster
watching with friends, especially the sort you open with a ring-pull, as it’s more likely to raise shrieks of laughter than horror.
What ensues is a pageant of special effect set-pieces where innocents are flayed, morphed and disfigured beyond belief and in extreme close-up.
Gruesome, nasty and mean-spirited, with emphasis on gory, gooey special effects.
