The evil Djinn is awakened by a female thief, Morgana, during a botched robbery.

If Morgana asks him for three wishes, then his race, the Djinn, can take over Earth, killing all humanity.

one of best horror movies of the 90s!

Man.....this movie is so cool.....I just bought recently, and the more I watch it, the more I like it, it rules! and I keep watching it, at least every couple weeks.....and the reson I keep watching it is not because of the gory scenes or the great spceal effects....it becuase of one thing.........ANDREW DIVOFF!!!........he is just awsome......I love is little evil grin, his voice, his comments....everytime he is on the screne....when i see him, no matter what he is doing or saying, I just cant help but Laugh!!!.....everytime I see his grin, I cant help but grin too!....he is so funny, no matter if he is saying something not funny, just his vioce, and how he says it, and how he looks when he says it, makes me laugh!....seriously every single scene he is in the whole movie, I just cant get that grin off my face!......every line he has says I think is so funny!.......but....aside from that, I think this is one of the best movies to come out in the last 10 years.....this reminds me of the glory days of "A Nightmare On Elm Street" this movie could have came from the 80s in my oppinoin, the Wishmaster could be The Freddy Kuerger Of the 90s! I hope they make many more of these movies..........so, forget about any of these new 90s crappy wanna horror movie....and go out right and buy this movie!..............Wishmaster rules!
