WISHMASTER
Une créature mythique, le Djinn, a été tirée accidentellement de son sommeil millénaire. Pour assouvir sa soif de pouvoir éternel, le Djinn doit convaincre une personne de faire trois voeux et seule la réalisation du troisième souhait lui permet d'acquérir les forces démoniaques nécessaires à l'accomplissement de ses maléfiques desseins. La jeune femme qui l'a éveillé et qui a étudié les légendes et les mythes liés aux anciennes civilisations sait que ses voeux pourraient déclencher un horrible cauchemar. Tout en affrontant le Djinn qui fait peu à peu régner l'enfer sur terre, elle doit à tout prix trouver le voeu qui pourra la sauver...

I haven't seen Wishmaster since I was a kid, I always enjoyed it back then, so I was nervous showing it to some friends that wouldn't withstand the test of time. It totally did though. Sure Wishmaster's pretty dumb and it can't keep its story straight, but those practical effects? Bellissimo.
Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go.

This ain’t the Barbara Eden kind of genie
Through a priceless gemstone, a malevolent djinn (Andrew Divoff) is released in Los Angeles where he harasses people by answering their wishes. Tammy Lauren plays the protagonist, Wendy Benson-Landes her sister and Robert Englund a collector of idolatrous artifacts.
“Wishmaster” (1997) is inventive comic book horror with a thought-out script that features a villain/monster that is actually interesting for a change. The Djinn is superbly done and diabolically charismatic. Meanwhile Tammy Lauren is reminiscent of a younger Linda Hamilton. She’s likable and spirited, but doesn’t do much for me personally; and the role of Wendy Benson-Landes is too small to note. The flick isn’t helped by its gaudy low-rent vibe and bland cast, but it entertains well enough with amusingly horrific effects, fun cameos and a unique concept.
As of 2002 it birthed three sequels.
The film runs 1 hour, 30 minutes, and was shot in Los Angeles.
GRADE: B-
