Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
Alistair Olson After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
callanvass For three years, Lisa & Sam have a very healthy marriage, full of love and prosperity. This all changes when Sam gets into a motorcycle accident, confined to a wheelchair. Sam feels that Lisa pities him and treats Lisa like dirt, feeling sorry for himself. Lisa gets close with Steven Verdel and gives Sam even more to complain about. When The Djinn is unleashed and takes over Steven Verdel's body, The Djinn falls in love with Lisa and things get complex when Lisa's third wish is a paradox "I wish I could love you for who you really are" I'm gonna give this movie a lot of credit. I really wanted to like it badly and I did to a certain extent. For a STV sequel, this really tries to be more than just a STV sequel that wants to pick up some quick cash on video. They turned a meaningless STV sequel into something that is perfectly watchable, yet limited at the same time. It's very ambitious for the low budget and there is many story lines that are intriguing, so the fun factor is definitely here at times. Lisa and Sam's love storyline is legitimately tragic and well done. The writers put a lot of emphasis on this storyline and manage to keep you engaged with it. It does enough to make you wanna root for them to get back as a couple. Unfortunately, it doesn't fully manage to do that because of one sole reason. Sam's abrasive attitude is almost impossible to get behind. I'd be bitter if I couldn't walk as well, but there was no excuse for him to treat Lisa the way he did. This woman goes above and beyond for him and it still isn't enough. If that's not enough, Sam gets to walk again after a wish from Lisa and he is STILL whiny and ungrateful. Get over it and man up! Nothing would please this guy and it got on my nerves after a while. The Djinn himself is a little too corny. His makeup is laughable and John Novak is no Andrew Divoff. This movie has a mean streak. As much as I complained about it, Sam getting to walk again, only to have it taken away from him? Wow! Talk about cruelty. The violence is strong in this one as well. A tongue is ripped out, a face is cut into, a nose is cut off, a woman gets decapitated with a sword. We also get sword impailings, fingers broken in graphic detail and more. Tara Spencer-Nairn is well known for her role in Corner Gas, but she's also a pretty solid actress. I loved her as the lead. She's sympathetic, likable, vulnerable, but strong-willed. Horror fans will love her. Michael Trucco is suave in human form as the Djinn. Jason Thompson does well, but his character is so abrasive and whiny that he is very unsympathetic, as I explained above. I thought the ending was a tad anti- climatic as ellFinal Thoughts: I liked this movie for what it was. It doesn't exactly pull of what it's trying to do, but it deserves to be lauded for the effort. Not everyone will feel the same way as me, but this is far from the STV trash that people say it is. It's very flawed and nothing special, but the effort is there. It's worth a watch5.4/10
complications123 It's never good news when sequels are filmed back to back, but I truly love getting as deep as I can in many of these horror franchises. Before anyone gets their feathers ruffled over the 5 I'm giving this film, realize that I'm rating with the context in mind. This is not stacked up against every movie ever, or even every horror movie ever. In the world of straight to video sequels, I think this 5 is well deserved.Most of this movie is taken up with this sort of love triangle, which for some reason I found instantly vested in. Of all the mutations of relationships presented in horror movies, I thought that what the main girl and her handicapped boyfriend struggled through was conceivable and plausible. In many ways, this movie is more of a love story with horror elements than the other way around. There's some real sensitivity going on with this woman, and I spent most of the movie sympathizing with her and wondering where her emotional entanglements would lead her. This may not necessarily be a good thing when one is looking for a decent horror movie, but it caught my attention nonetheless.Sadly, about halfway through the film this potential gets completely wasted as the Djinn tries to figure out exactly what human love is. This concept in and of itself could have been inventive to play with, but instead it turns into this sort of muddy quest of enlightenment for a decidedly malevolent creature not of this world to understand a thing or two about mankind.On the horror front, the kills are pretty unoriginal and uninventive in becoming with all the sequels. Nothing new is added to the Djinn mythology, and the god-awful idea of Michael the angle sadly resurfaces from the previous film. And he's more of a vigilante or mercenary of god than any sort of angel. The thuggish demeanor and black and white personality of the angel leaves the Djinn the more human of the two. The film makers did a decent job of building up emotional suspense, but there aren't enough conventional horror elements to add up to much shock or surprise.For the "prophecy" to have finally been "fulfilled" it would have been gratifying to see a bunch of Djinn causing general destruction and mayhem, but nothing of any grandeur or finality is attempted. It's better than the second sequel, but we've got a long way to go to revive the cleverness and freshness of the Djinn. Oh, and if anyone even thinking of making another film reads this, please cut out all that god and man and earth and Djinn and fire and void s***. Everyone's heard it a thousand times, and it doesn't ever hold a bit of relevance to, well, anything.
JoeB131 Finally hitting the lowest level of Direct to Video Hell, the Wishmaster is consigned to this awful mess where at someone said, 'Meh, they'll still rent it, even if it's crap." The notion is that after finding a Djinn Gem in even a cheaper box than the first three movies, (props cost money, kids!) the Djinn takes over the body of a lawyer who tries to seduce one of his clients, the typical hot babe who always ends up freeing the Wishmaster in movies like this.The Wishmaster then proceeds to kill off everyone in her life by getting them to make foolish wishes. Apparently the "I need 1001 souls to power the gem" rule from the second movie no longer applies.The movie also contains a disjointed narrative where a "Hunter" is released from a statue if the third wish is made. But in this case, the third wish made is unfulfillable, so you have a paradox they shove bad car chases and action scenes into as filler.I really hate the "hunter" character, because first, he kills innocent bystanders as well, and second, in the climatic fight, he turns into kind of a big wimp.The best thing to be said about this movie? It was the last one in the series.
Claudio Carvalho Lisa Burnley (Tara Spencer-Nairn) owns a boutique and lives with her beloved boy-friend Sam (Jason Thompson), who became crippled and very bitter after a motorcycle accident. Sam's lawyer Steven Verdel (Michael Trucco) has a crush on Lisa. The Wishmaster possesses Steven's body, and he tries to grant three wishes to Lisa, to release the Djinn demons and start the Armagedon on Earth. However, when she tells Steven: "- I wish I could love you for who you really are.", her third wish is a paradox, since it depends on herself to be granted. The Wishmaster unsuccessfully tries to seduce Lisa. Although having flaws in the story, "Wishmaster 4: The Prophecy Fulfilled" is a good sequel. I like this character very much, and the two first movies are excellent. In this fourth episode, there is a lack of humor in the deaths of The Wishmaster. Further, there is a character, Hunter, supposed to be good, but the guy decapitates an innocent woman without any reason. Lisa is the "Waker" that will fulfill the prophecy since she found the red stone. One who wakes a djin shall be given three wishes. Upon granting the third, an unholy legion of djins are freed through a doorway between the worlds upon the Earth. The actress Tara Spencer-Nairn has a beautiful body (specially her breasts) and is very gorgeous. Therefore, this film is not as bad as indicated in some IMDb reviews. My vote is six.Title (Brazil) "O Mestre dos Desejos 4" ("The Wishmaster 4")
