... View MoreMuch better than the awful third outing. Wishmaster 4 does have a lot going for it, even though it doesn't have the means to execute all of its ideas. Wishmaster 4 sees the third wish get made, but it's a wish that causes conflict within the Djinn. A woman wishes to love him for who he is, which contradicts the whole of a wish. This is an interesting set-up and it also brings around other Djinn waiting to be released, causing even more conflict. One of the main characters happens to be a whiny cripple. One the kind that I'm sure mostly exist in films. It's an annoying character and hurts the romance stuff that's going on. The action isn't particularly well shot, which is a shame since we have some Djinn hunter and a sword fight or two. The gore is pretty nasty at times, so overall, this is the same old dumb fun.
... View MoreLisa Burnley (Tara Spencer-Nairn) owns a boutique and lives with her beloved boy-friend Sam (Jason Thompson), who became crippled and very bitter after a motorcycle accident. Sam's lawyer Steven Verdel (Michael Trucco) has a crush on Lisa. The Wishmaster possesses Steven's body, and he tries to grant three wishes to Lisa, to release the Djinn demons and start the Armagedon on Earth. However, when she tells Steven: "- I wish I could love you for who you really are.", her third wish is a paradox, since it depends on herself to be granted. The Wishmaster unsuccessfully tries to seduce Lisa. Although having flaws in the story, "Wishmaster 4: The Prophecy Fulfilled" is a good sequel. I like this character very much, and the two first movies are excellent. In this fourth episode, there is a lack of humor in the deaths of The Wishmaster. Further, there is a character, Hunter, supposed to be good, but the guy decapitates an innocent woman without any reason. Lisa is the "Waker" that will fulfill the prophecy since she found the red stone. One who wakes a djin shall be given three wishes. Upon granting the third, an unholy legion of djins are freed through a doorway between the worlds upon the Earth. The actress Tara Spencer-Nairn has a beautiful body (specially her breasts) and is very gorgeous. Therefore, this film is not as bad as indicated in some IMDb reviews. My vote is six.Title (Brazil) "O Mestre dos Desejos 4" ("The Wishmaster 4")
... View MoreWhen i rented the first Wishmaster when it arrived here in Sweden in '97, i thought it was a masterpiece and a new horror character was born: Andrew Divoff as The Djinn. around 2 years later i saw (at the same store) Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies and i thought YES and it starred Divoff again. but it was a bit disappointing - it wasn't as good as the first movie (how many sequels are?..) but Divoff was brilliant as always but the script was a little boring and it was almost the same story as the first one. about 2 years later i heard about a third one and i thought wow - it's gonna to be a trilogy..! and i hoped Divoff returned as the Djinn..but no, Divoff was replaced by John Novak and the third movie was not as bad as i thought it would be, Jason Connery (Sean Connery's son) saved the movie but Novak wasn't so bad at all either. then i heard about a fourth movie (was it going to be a big series ??) and i couldn't wait but sadly it never came to Sweden for rental so i purchased the UK release of the DVD and last summer i watched it and it was a big big disappointment...well the script was really bad (why name a movie the prophecy fulfilled when it wasn't ??..stupid) the biggest disappointment were that Divoff didn't return for this one either (maybe a great choice 'cause the script sucked). i hope Chris Angel won't be directing more Wishmaster, because he have nearly destroyed the Wishmaster series - the third was OK but no more, the fourth was awful really awful. Well if their is ever gonna be fifth movie bring back Divoff or do a "Wishmaster VS Wishmaster" (Divoff VS Novak). don't make the mistake i did - to buy this DVD.1/10
... View MoreLet's get down to the basics here: I've seen all four films and can tell you that this is a third sequel in every aspect; perhaps in the sternest form of the word sequel. The film is something fresh, something new and definetly something funny.If you're expecting to see the exact same thing as you did in the earlier films, go watch something else. Don't waste your time or money watching this film.This content of the film is completely new to the entire franchise. Don't get me wrong, as the basic premise is true as it can ever be: the waker has three wishes and at the end of the third wish of the waker, the Djinn race is freed. Of couse, the Djinn has to find the waker first. However, this particular installment of the film seems to have navigated further and further away from it's horror roots and now seeks to challenge the philosophical questions of love, desire, lust, God, money, wealth and death.I found the dialogue in the film that was directed toward God in bad taste, but that's just me. I also found myself laughing so hard at most of the film and its subject matter - it was hilarious! I can only hope that the humor was the intention.So why would film makers bother making a film like this? Perhaps they know how much people are obsessed with the Djinn and they want to tackle good and evil down to the bare roots and show a soft side of the Djinn. Maybe not - I really don't know. But there was a point where you feel really encouraged to root for the Djinn and hate the classical "good guys".However, I will repeat by saying that this film is not for everyone. Hardcore fans of the series will hate it. Open minded individuals familiar with the series will appreciate it for what it's worth. And most definetly, anyone who's ever been afraid of watching a horror film should use this film to break them into the genre. The sexual nature of the film isn't for children, but it's certainly horizons away from being scary.Overall this film is an enjoyable, pleasant film to watch. I recommend this film to anyone who wants to watch a horror film that will make them feel like a million bucks. I also recommend this film to heterosexual couples. Enjoy!
