Viewers may find some marginal entertainment in the Wishmaster series' fourth entry, which attempts to cast its perverse anti-hero, the Djinn, in a sympathetic light. However, silly plot developments and childish splatter effects undo whatever interest is generated by the premise. This time around, the Djinn is summoned by a woman whose boyfriend was crippled in an accident. He assumes the form of her lawyer and offers her the standard three wishes, two of which bring her a healthy settlement and a boost to her sex life. However, the Djinn¹s generosity comes with a price: when he grants the third wish, more Djinn will be released from Hell to bring destruction to Earth. But in order to do this, he must make the woman love his true form (a horned demon). This nominally intriguing idea is bungled at every turn by hamfisted scripting and performances, making Wishmaster 4 a must-see for series completists only. --Paul Gaita

3.0 out of 5 stars If Wishes were Fishes..., October 25, 2002

This review is from: Wishmaster 4: The Prophecy Fulfilled (DVD)

I think one of the divine laws of filmmaking is that no theme lasts forever. Thus 'Wishmaster 1' was novel and interesting, then the producers added some sex and more special effects and created 'Wishmaster 2,'etc., etc. Of course, each step of the way, the plot becomes a bit more repetitious and diluted. I picked up 'Wishmaster 4 - The Prophecy Fulfilled' more out of curiosity than from any hope of seeing a blockbuster horror film. And for the first 30 minutes I got exactly what I expected, same old, same old....

Lisa (Tara Spencer-Nairn) is the attractive operator of a lingerie shop whose marriage is about to self-destruct. Her husband Sam (Jason Thompson) is deeply embittered by a motorcycle accident that took away his ability to walk or take an active role in the marriage. Worse, the couple has been completely frustrated in their attempts to achieve a financial settlement. Their lawyer, Verdel (Michael Trucco), has been working at no charge, or they would have had to give up long ago. Verdel, however, has a strong yen for Lisa. When a broken present reveals the jewel of the Djinn, the formula is complete.

In no time at all the Djinn (John Nowak) permanently borrows Verdel's face, and sets about granting Lisa's wishes. For those of you who are newcomers, fulfilling the third wish will free all the Djinn from their imprisonment and let them take over the earth. Much to my surprise, only a third of the film was gone when the old standard plot was exhausted and the I suddenly realized that I was on the verge of finding out what happens when the lady actually makes the wish number three.

Not satisfied with just one new plot twist, Director Chris Angel pulls a few more out of his hat to rescue a film that initially seemed utterly unremarkable. Not that this would ever set any box office records, but it has its moments. And excitement junkies will be glad to know that it earns its R rating. After four times at bat, actor John Novak has his part down pat, and the others are competent if uninspired. So if you are looking for something light to have with the popcorn, this might be just what you wished for.

3.0 out of 5 stars Much better than I thought, but not enough Victor Webster :(, September 22, 2002

I'm not a huge fan of horror movies, but I HAD to get this one, since it has Victor Webster from Mutant X in it. It came out in England a few months ago, so, nerd that I am, I bought a multi region DVD player just so I could watch it! lol Well, this and Mutant X which comes out on DVD in England TOMORROW! Yay!
As for Wishmaster 4, it was MUCH better than I thought it would be! The picture quality was excellent, the acting was good, and so were the special effects/makeup. Since I never saw the first 3, I don't understand why Hunter (Victor's character) was only woken after the second wish was made, and why he wasn't (I assume) woken in the other movies. Victor looks PHENOMENAL in this, but his part was WAY too short, boo hoo. Liked the special effects on his voice as well. The fight scene between him and the Djinn was good, but again, too short. Would have liked to have had some extras on it, as it's just the movie, but ah well... Would have given it another star if it had extras, and another if it had more Victor! lol Hey, what can I say, I love the guy... :)

If you are looking for an absolutely horrendous sequel to the Wishmaster this is it. I haven't seen the third installment of wishmaster but thought the first two with the original actor who played Wishmaster were great. I picked this sequel up figuring it was wishmaster and wouldn't be that bad...boy was I wrong. It was like a mix between Power Rangers and Japanese Anime/old-school Godzilla. Not only is the acting horrible but the story is too. What happened to the good quality old school horror that was good even if the story was horrible it was a decent movie worth seeing...the Prophecy Fullfilled is not and I will say DO NOT waste your mney...it is disappointing.
