Im not being ironic when I say I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Wishmaster is essentially a retelling of the great early 1900's story The Monkeys Paw (as popularily spoofed by The Simpsons) mixed with some genie imagery, and it is nothing if not a refreshingly ambitious horror movie. The movie itself is so convinced by its own awesomeness that it actually becomes somewhat awesome. It's as though t... read more

Maybe cliched and a somewhat poorly acted heroine but it’s acting (besides the heroine Alexandra who wasn’t acting good), effects, scares, kills and Andrew divoff will not disappoint.

There is no bias in any way against horror. Quite the contrary, and have always actively made an effort not to show any bias against any genre (likewise with towards too) in order to be fair-minded. Even if there are more films that aren't my cup of tea in one genre. Horror is not my favourite of all the numerous film genres, but do still highly appreciate it. It has its fair share of classics wit... read more

Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 90’s (1929 movies items)

" Arguably, one of the most underrated horror movies from the 90’s, Wishmaster certainly is an over the film, which makes it even more fun. And the Wishmaster is wonderfully creepy, with Andrew Divoff delivering a great performance as well. Critics didn’t care for the film, and audiences still liked it anyways. And there are cameos from Ted Raimi, Robert Englund, Tony Todd, and Kane Hodder, too! With great makeup effects! And a soundtrack that featured “Listen to the Heart” by Motö"

Even if there are more films that aren't my cup of tea in one genre. Horror is not my favourite of all the numerous film genres, but do still highly appreciate it. It has its fair share of classics with some deservedly iconic characters but has an equal number of misfires.

Was not quite sure what to make of 'Wishmaster'. Was reasonably entertained, it will be said, and there are good things that stop it from being a mess, but would hesitate to call it a good film let alone a classic as there in my mind are a good deal of things to criticise it for. Can see why there are people who hav” read more
