What to Know

Critics Consensus

Wishmaster searches for horror in the exploits of a supernatural being -- one whose powers, alas, evidently do not include the ability to summon a compelling script.

Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: D- Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Sends viewers screaming into the lobby demanding refunds. Rated: 0/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Peter Stack San Francisco Chronicle An extravaganza of bad special effects and worse acting Rated: 1/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a seemingly foolproof setup that's employed to distressingly erratic effect by Kurtzman... Rated: 2/4 Oct 30, 2020 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Little of it makes sense, but the djinn's powers of deception are quite humorous and the look of the picture is unexpectedly impressive. Rated: 6/10 Sep 25, 2020 Full Review Nathanael Hood Nate Hood Reviews The joy of Wishmaster [is that] it's a game to see if the audience can out-think and out-predict what the Djinn will do and how he'll do it. Rated: 7/10 Jan 19, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

James B Wishmaster is an amazing concept with top notch gore however the CGI isn't the best but the practical effects are extraordinary and the makeup is scary and the gore and the kills are creative. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review Emmanuel R I rewatched this again recently after last seeing as a child, and man I think it’s underrated. The practical effects are incredible! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/25/24 Full Review Ari B Extremely underrated. Definitely in my top 3 favorite horror movies. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/11/24 Full Review acsdoug D Sure, it could have been done better, but the premise is good and the deon djinn is pretty cool. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/18/24 Full Review Audience Member Cheesy but fun movie! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/17/24 Full Review lord b like a zombie movie is fun with violent humor in its frame..... with a bit of a plot spruce up could be better.... be careful what you wish for!! very D&D in that a wish to a demon is not as cool as you imagine and sometimes hurts you Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
