• -/10
• Directed by Robert Kurtzman

"Wishmaster" is a horror film produced with the involvement of renowned genre figure Wes Craven as executive producer and directed by Robert Kurtzman, a celebrated special effects makeup artist known for his work on iconic films such as "The Evil Dead" series. Kurtzman’s expertise in visual effects is evident throughout the movie, delivering a high standard of craftsmanship that enhances its chilling atmosphere. The film draws inspiration from the Arabian folklore concept of the "Djinn," reimagining these mythical beings as malevolent entities rather than the benevolent figures commonly depicted. In "Wishmaster," the Djinn manipulates human desires to fulfill its own sinister goals, creating a unique and unsettling twist on the traditional wish-granting narrative. This innovative approach not only distinguishes the film within the horror genre but also underscores its dark and captivating premise.
