Reviews for Wishmaster
Top Criticwatching 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.

Top CriticGruesome, nasty and mean-spirited, with emphasis on gory, gooey special effects.

A lukewarm stew of supernatural horror, mythical fantasy and gratuitous gore.

Makeup 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.'

It will be of interest to none but goreheads, who are likely to find the gore rather cheesy.
