The Worst Film Ever

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

OK, so I had insomnia, and this was basically the only thing on TV at the time. It was one of the most horrid and predictable piece of you know what that I have ever seen. I mean many horror movies are just bad, but this was absolutely awful. Frankly, I am surprised that a woman wrote the screenplay. Because it sure seemed like the person who came up with the idea (yes I realize that someone else could have written the treatment for it) was a male loner who was rejected by all the popular girls, and chose to write a story where attractive girls get slashed up and/or slaughtered, as some sort of sadistic symbolic payback. Although, I suppose that's not that uncommon in horror films, good or bad.Then there was of course the ridiculous insinuation about subliminal messages able to persuade people to murder others. It mentions rightfully that the military stopped using them in the 60s. What it doesn't tell you is that subliminal messaging was likely abandoned because it basically has no effect. There is supposed to be suspension of disbelief when watching films, but in this case, it just makes for extremely horrible melodrama.I am not really into horror films, but I can tell what a bad movie is, and this is a perfect exemplar of a horrible movie, regardless of genre.

This is the sort of horror movie made by people who've either seen EVERY horror movie ever made, or have NEVER seen one in their lives. Spliced (aka The Wisher), is derivative of the best (but mostly the worst) bits of at least a dozen 80's slasher flicks. Mary (the heroine) is a medication-popping, horror movie junkie who has nightmares, is prone to sleep-walking and gets sent to the school counselor. Oh yeah, the other kids don't like her much either. The Wisher (the killer) is a hood-robed, pasty-faced, horror movie cliché with glass finger-knives. Is the killer a real person, is he a supernatural entity or is he just in Mary's head? The film throws so many "twists" and red herrings at the viewer that you just know the final explanation won't make any logical sense. When the BEST thing about a film is Drew Lachey (Nick's brother) as the pseudo-creepy wannabe boyfriend, you know you're in trouble!

A pretty silly and badly-acted horror flick that is stealing generously from other cult hits of the genre. Ron Silver is OK in this movie and the only one except Liane Balaban who have some acting capability but he seems uninterested in a minor role. Everything in the movie is very predictable there are still some highlights that makes the movie worth watching. Saving the movie from rock-bottom is some nice gore, a quite creepy bad guy and of course gorgeous Liane Balaban's extremely hot body! She is also bra-less throughout the entire movie which is totally awesome. Some other nice babes and boobs also adding to the viewing pleasure.

Watching wisher is a wastage of time.The coincidences shown in movie are unbearable.The actress should join some acting course.I don't know why at the climax she ran to her home only to download the movie WISHER to see the end, where she knew killer was waiting for her,she could have simply asked about the end from others who had watched it( they showed that it was a huge hit and all the people of town had watched it) or ran to some safe place and where the hell her mother and sister disappeared.It was almost hair pulling to see a thin,weird guy as villain doing all the impossible damages.The most funniest scene sparing room for a SEQUEL!!!!
