Wishmaster (1997)
5/10
"I Dream of Jeannie"...the horror version
25 August 2006
After so many years of genies being funny, cute, and maybe even wacky (thanks, Robin Williams!), here's a malevolent one. The overall concept in "Wishmaster" - modern person unleashes ancient evil force - is pretty routine, but there are some really neat scenes. I think that we all have to agree that the coolest part is the party towards the end, especially with the statues.

So, although Wes Craven produced this in between the first and second "Scream", it didn't quite reach the standards set by those two. Still, it's a pretty fun romp, featuring a bevy of filmdom's horror stars (among them Robert Englund, Tony Todd and Kane Hodder). You just might want to think twice about making a wish after seeing this.

Just imagine what might have happened had Maj. Nelson released this genie instead of Jeannie.
