Screenwriter Peter Atkins did a terrible rip-off with this screenplay. The problem is, the guy's ripping off himself. This movie is a near carbon-copy of another movie he wrote called "Hellraiser III." (That one was actually a pretty good movie in my opinion.) It's like they said "we need you to write a movie by tomorrow" and he just pulled out that script and changed the cube to a crystal, the demon to a genie, and set the party scene (which is almost exactly the same in both movies) in a mansion rather than a night-club. Wes, you are such a good director, why can't you learn to produce?
