We've received a LOT of requests to cover this one over the years. Directed by F/X mogul Robert Kurtzman and produced by Wes Craven, this late 90s gem features a TON of 80s Horror Icons. Anyone who wanted an 'Expendables" version of Horror actors need look no further. This is what you want. Very few movies from this era had so many great practical effects. The Gore is superb. The Djinn was a fantastic new villain for the time, played by a deliciously charismatic Andrew Divoff. We hope you enjoy our Horror 101 Treatment of Wishmaster.
