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.

Little of it makes sense, but the djinn's powers of deception are quite humorous and the look of the picture is unexpectedly impressive. Go to Full Review

Zaidan Muhammad K @Trevorzidan 2d Yo first time watching this is absolutely awesome experience and like its good I'm not even joking nor glazing it really is also since it's 1999 films you could probably know the quality but I don't care it's still is amazing one See more Caleb L Oct 5 An absolutely incredible film full of amazing kills, a showstopping performance from The Djinn and a sense of pure fun. It's just a shame that this film didn't come out in the mid to late 80's where it likely would've been better perceived initially. See more Alexandra R Sep 29 This is my favorite horror film because some parts are funny, it doesn’t feel realistic and because one of the characters has my 1st name in the movie! 🎥 🍿 See more Jonathan N Sep 12 This is just my personal opinion: I found this very boring to watch. Not engaging and not interesting. See more Theo E Aug 30 A Haiku Review: Much strawberry jam Was wasted in the making Of this genie film See more thiago s @Thiagostone Jul 1 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Read all reviews
