- I somehow really wanted to like 'Wishmaster'. I had such high hopes for the film after the opening sequence with all those jaw-dropping practical effects and make-up guaranteed to make the viewer cringe in horror. Unfortunately, the film just got worse from there. The film revolves around an evil Djinn trapped inside a precious stone. Alexandra (Tammy Lauren) accidentally wakes the Djinn when cleaning the Opal. Although her back story was important for character development, I didn't find the character all that interesting. In fact, neither did I find any of the characters all that interesting. The acting also wasn't all that convincing. The biggest issue I have with the film, is the choice of lead actor: Andrew Divoff as the Djinn. With all due respect to the actor, he simply wasn't the ideal choice for the role. Think what Robert England did for 'Nightmare on Elm Street', or Doug Bradley for 'Hellraiser'. Divoff is too smooth looking to be credible as evil. I suppose they wanted him to be handsome behind a mask of evil, but even that didn't work for me. The film does dish up some good moments, but I wasn't impressed with 'Wishmaster' in general. The narration felt lazy, as did the filmmaking with it's shaky and shattering transitions, which gave the film a cheap look. I can commend the film of some truly crazy effects and visuals, which are definitely the film's highlight. Also note, this is a very brutal and gory movie. In closing, 'Wishmaster' is not entirely bad. Watch it for the gory effects; you might get a kick out of it. Oh, and be careful what you wish for... I wished for this to have been better.
- Wishmaster is a great horror film. The movie has a really cool concept that immediately intrigues you when you hear it. The Wishmaster himself looks really good and creepy especially with that creepy voice. The kills are really nasty and brutal and look really solid with some great practical effects. The cast does a really good job, especially the lead character; the movie also has a lot of horror legends making cameos in it. Overall it is a great movie that I definitely recommend.
Movie has no audio
There is no sound at all for this movie. Ads have sound, all other videos I've tried have sound. It's not my phone, nor the app, but the video file itself doesn't have the proper codec or never had audio added to the file beforehand. Sucks because I'd really like to watch this one.
