Trivia

Both the third and fourth film have been noted as going more of an Action-Fantasy route as opposed to a Horror-Fantasy genre style like the last two films. Both sequelshave also been noted for their Cinemax late night programming type vibes (cheesy acting, softcore style nudity, low budget filmmaking).

Goofs

The car's damaged right front headlight area appears to have fixed itself right before the car makes the leap and crash.

User Reviews

Shouldn't have happened...

Now after seeing the first 2 'Wishmaster' movies, I had high expectations for this movie. Apparently, they were too high...what hurts this movie, is that it's a total 360 turn from the first 2 movies. What this movie tries to be is a 'Scream' & a "I Know What You Did Last Summer" movie...which isn't saying too much, since they were mere silly movies, than horror movies. Too many just average actors & no pazzazz to it. Jason Connery as the human form of the Djinn isn't convincing. Andrew Divoff, who played the first Djinn character, was great. Such evilness to him. If you're a fan of the first movies, go see it, but don't expect a horror movie.
