Got what I asked For

Having seen these movies, I was glad to order them. They arrived as 1 dvd in which each side of the disc has a film. Works great, good quality, very happy with purchase.

Compared to the 3rd and 4th wishmaster, these are more violent than sexual.

What's Not to Like

I have seen all four releases on TV and bought this set 1&2 because as far as I'm concerned Andrew Divoff is the Wishmaster and the only one who can play the role. Watching 3&4 without Divoff as the Wishmaster is like watching paint dry. Great job Andrew.

Andrew Divoff is a Great and Talented Actor
Added 2/23/2009

I really enjoyed this movie and the original Wishmaster. I think Andrew Divoff is an extremely talented actor in both films. I think that if he were cast in the other Wishmaster movies, they would've been bigger hits. Keep up the great work Andrew!

Pretty good horror franchise
Added 1/31/2009

More like a 3.5 than a 3, but not an option.

This is one of the campier slasher franchises and is reminiscent in a lot of ways of 60s and 70s horror comics, especially the Spectre. Criminals get killed in interesting and creative ways, mostly to keep an 'R' rating. The genie grants wishes, but they all go horribly wrong.

The acting, aside from Divoff (who is really, really good), is generally passable (and even has some genre celebrity cameos), and about average for the genre. The special effects are kind of *meh* aside from the occassional sequence compared to other horror franchises from the same time period, but the writing and dialogue is generally competent (though not really original), and is even above average in the case of 2 (the better of the two films).

If you like slasher films, you'll like this one too. It's pretty good. Aside from the Final Destination series, this has some of the most creative and complicated death sequences around.

If you like horror movies, you'll certainly like it. If you like campy horror films, add an extra star to the review and buy it before it goes out of print, you'll love it.
