Summary: Wasn't bad!
Review: Hey anyone who saw the first one will obviously say it was better. I didn't find it too scary, but then again i don't scare easily. It contained alot of gore scenes which is why i gave it a 3 star rating otherwise i still think the first part is much better see. i advise everyone who hasn't seen the part one to get of their (_|_)'s and go rent it right away.

Summary: A laughable "horror" of a film
Review: I bought Wishmaster/Wishmaster 2 and I was not disappointed at all! They were horrible, and that is what I expected. It was the best ten dollars I have ever spent! I have yet to watch Wishmaster, but Wishmaster 2 was absolutely aweful! I spent most of the time watching it laughing at what was supposed to be dramatic or frightening. The special effects were a waste of money and the acting was just about the only scary aspect of the whole film. If you love HORRIBLE movies, this cheap find is definitely one for the collection!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the top characters of all time
Review: I first saw this movie (part 1) about six years ago and the part that I remember vividly is the scene in the first fifteen minutes, between a homeless man and a retail store manager. The argument between them was one of the most classic scenes I have ever seen in a movie. I don't want to write too much about it because I don't want to spoil it, but that actor who played the homeless man is awesome! I was flipping through DVDs at the video store the other day and I saw this one, and picked it up immediatley. The rest of the movie was great, but this part alone is worth having...and watching over and over again. Share it with friends! Play it on their answering machine!

Summary: SUCH A DISSAPOINTMENT!
Review: I first saw this movie on HBO a couple of months ago, and it was such a dissapointment. I liked the first, but the second was just lame and shouldn't have been made at all. It gives the first a bad rap. I can't believe this movie wasted my time! I wish i could give it a zero! oops I forgot I have to be careful what i wish for! LoL, the point is rent the first one! Not this one. I made the mistake of buying it. The acting was also really really terrible. The movie wasn't even scary as the first! Didn't even come close to the original. The cursing was just awful. every five seconds there would be a cuss word! It was the most awful horror movie i have ever seen! some cursing is alright but there should be a limit! And it was also way too gory! NOw i know why Wes Craven didn't present this one!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: REALLY COOL
Review: I like these movies. They are so much fun and it is hard not to enjoy them. The DVD package is also very good. There are animated menus and loads of bonus stuff. This is well worth the money and I suggest you buy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love both of these.
Review: I own the double feature DVD. I bought it for a low price.
It's nice that you could get two movies for such a cheap price and both movies have nice features. Wishmaster is one of my favorites. It's scary and gory. Be careful of what you wish for.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: this sequel kicks ***
Review: I saw this movie on HBO and I thought it was a worthy sequel. Although not as good as the original I enjoyed it I recommend this movie only to hardcore horror fans.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Wishmaster goes to prison
Review: I'm not sure I saw the original Wishmaster, but I do like this one. People in prison make some of the most creative wishes. I love the one with the lawyer. It does seem a little slow in some parts and it is Sooo gruesome. The irony is very good though. Feel free to email me with any questions.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: "I Can Smell Your Fear......."
Review: In the first Wishmaster movie, we are introduced to the Djinn, an evil genie that has a great amount of power, yet it can only be used in the form of granting wishes. Of course, his wishes do not come without a price. When the person who has awoken the Djinn makes a third and final wish, a doorway between a world of evil and the world as we know it opens, allowing the army of the Djinn free reign of the Earth and it's inhabitants. In this first film, a gem specialist named Alexandra comes across the huge fire opal in which the Djinn resides, and upon inspecting the opal awakens the Djinn (Andrew Divoff). As people's souls are being stolen, and lives are being taken by the Djinn, she investigates the Persian legends behind the creature in hopes of finding a way to defeat him and send him back into the confines of the fire opal. Will she prevail, or will human greed win her conscience and cause her to make all three wishes?

In the sequel to the aforementioned film, a few people break into the esteemed Beaumont collection and steal some valuable pieces of art. In doing so, they sound alarms and are confronted by guards. In a hurried rush to exit the building, one of the thieves knocks over a Persian sculpture (the Ahura Mazda) and finds lodged inside a huge fire opal. Morgana (Holly Fields) grabs the opal, thus awakening to Djinn to again wreak havoc on the world. Cops arrive to find the Djinn disguised as a human, and arrest him for the robbery in addition to the murders of some of the guards. During his time in jail, the Djinn tempts several inmates into making wishes. It's up to Morgana to find a way to send back the evil she unintentionally awoke.

Both of these movies are great, and are definitely some of the better films with Wes Craven's name on them. The effects are spectacular. From the very first scene in the first film, the viewer is cringing in disgust. At the same time, one must laugh at the sick and twisted way the Djinn fulfills peoples wishes. He epitomizes the infamous phrase "be careful what you wish for." There is certainly an excellent balance between gore, scares, and dark humor that is pulled off quite well in both of these films. For B horror flicks, the acting is also superb. Andrew Divoff does an excellent job playing a creepy, evil, twisted genie. There are some notable cameos as well by people such as the "Candyman" (Tony Todd) and Jason Vorhees (Kane Hodder), actors who any fan of the genre can appreciate.

Both of these are great horror films that should be added to anyone's library, particularly if you are a fan of Wes Craven, or even just some great splatter/gore films. When you consider the fact that these are basically two movies for the price of one, I don't know why anyone wouldn't want to go ahead and purchase these films!
