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.

Desson Thomson Washington Post Includes an all-star horror cast. Jan 1, 2000 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

Theo E A Haiku Review: Much strawberry jam Was wasted in the making Of this genie film Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/30/25 Full Review thiago s 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 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/01/25 Full Review Blobbo X Blobbo found entertaining. Be careful what wish for. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/26/25 Full Review Audience Member Good premise, poorly executed and even worse acting. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/20/25 Full Review Oscar A Pues, no se, para su tiempo debio ser excelente, no es lo mio pero vere la saga. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/25 Full Review Logan D After a Djinn is accidentally released, his victim must figure how to eliminate him. I'm not surprised RT has such a low rating by critics but the audience has also rated it poorly. This is a throwback to 80s horror. Cheesy and gory. As the Djinn, Andrew Divoff chews the scenery and Tammy Lauren is a likeable heroine. The film also possesses two remarkable set pieces sandwiching the film on each end. Also of note is the cast features many genre icons and actors such as Robert England, Tony Todd, and Kane Hodder. Fun film! Sorry I missed it's original run. Obviously underrated, IMO.
