A teen horror flick that's a step above its peers, Wishcraft fuses a slasher movie with a "be careful what you wish for" story line. Bret (Michael Weston), a smart but unsociable high school kid, receives a strange box in the mail. A note tells him the contents will give him three wishes; naturally, he wishes for a date with a cheerleader (Alexandra Holden) he has a crush on. His wish comes true--but just as his new life is beginning, someone is murdering the popular kids in strange, inventive ways. Wishcraft isn't novel or surprising, but what's unusual is how well written, smartly directed, and solidly acted the movie is. The dialogue sounds genuine; the characters have more than one dimension; clichés are kept to a minimum. It won't win any awards, but if all B movies were this good, we'd be living in a much more entertaining world. --Bret Fetzer

Product Description
Brett is one of the outsiders at his school. A little too bright to be popular, that doesn't stop him from having the biggest crush on the cheerleading Samantha, who's a little too popular to take him seriously. When Brett receives a mysterious package that contains a totem with the ability to grant its owner three wishes, he discovers that dreams can come true - with a vengeance. Suddenly Samantha is holding him so tight its cutting off his circulation, and her non-stop adoration is not his only problem. Someone is systematically slaughtering the rebels and the jocks - and the cheerleaders. Misbehave? Hit the grave. Now Samantha is primed to be the killer's next target. A perfect victim for a killer in search of perfection - and the only thing that might save her is WISHCRAFT.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good!!!, June 30, 2003

By	Thomas - See all my reviews

This movie caught my eye in the video store!!! The cover was really interesting!!!And I was going to put it back because it was never out in theathers, and so I thought that it was going to suck! But on the other hand, It didnt!!! Its like 1996's "The Craft" meets 1999's "The Faculty" The cast are great, the story is excellent, and the directing is stylish!!! I dont know why this wasnt released in theathers! But it should of been out in theathers!!! This movie is a MUST-SEE!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars good movie, June 3, 2003

By	amy lynn (pennsylvania United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

suprisingly good movie - i thought this one might be like the other teen slasher flicks but i was wrong. it was a unique film .i thought the killings were clever in the way they had diff ideas and it wasnt just ur average killing with knife like in most horror movies the killings were creative and the special effects were cool, the killings actually looked real and the story was pretty cool idea, the whole plot and the charcters were also good. The movie is about this guy who gets sent a mysterious (( totem )) sent to him in the mail and he takes it to a shop to find out what its worth and what it is and in the process learns some information about the powers it holds. When he goes home he makes 3 wishes and it leads to a series of events and mysterious killings start happening and noone knows who is doing the killing and you never think it is that person that is actually doing it- i was suprised at the end. so this is a unique film its dif than ur average teen slasher like i said-its very creative , unique original film and i recomend it- it was fun to watch.
