Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I actually enjoyed the first 3 wishmaster movies.There isn't much to say about this movie. The person who wrote this just did not get the wishmaster and what made him interesting. Maybe this would be forgiven if the story was actually good but unfortunately it wasn't.If you are going to watch the wishmaster movies skip this one....it truly is the black sheep of the family.

For three years, Lisa & Sam have a very healthy marriage, full of love and prosperity. This all changes when Sam gets into a motorcycle accident, confined to a wheelchair. Sam feels that Lisa pities him and treats Lisa like dirt, feeling sorry for himself. Lisa gets close with Steven Verdel and gives Sam even more to complain about. When The Djinn is unleashed and takes over Steven Verdel's body, The Djinn falls in love with Lisa and things get complex when Lisa's third wish is a paradox "I wish I could love you for who you really are" I'm gonna give this movie a lot of credit. I really wanted to like it badly and I did to a certain extent. For a STV sequel, this really tries to be more than just a STV sequel that wants to pick up some quick cash on video. They turned a meaningless STV sequel into something that is perfectly watchable, yet limited at the same time. It's very ambitious for the low budget and there is many story lines that are intriguing, so the fun factor is definitely here at times. Lisa and Sam's love storyline is legitimately tragic and well done. The writers put a lot of emphasis on this storyline and manage to keep you engaged with it. It does enough to make you wanna root for them to get back as a couple. Unfortunately, it doesn't fully manage to do that because of one sole reason. Sam's abrasive attitude is almost impossible to get behind. I'd be bitter if I couldn't walk as well, but there was no excuse for him to treat Lisa the way he did. This woman goes above and beyond for him and it still isn't enough. If that's not enough, Sam gets to walk again after a wish from Lisa and he is STILL whiny and ungrateful. Get over it and man up! Nothing would please this guy and it got on my nerves after a while. The Djinn himself is a little too corny. His makeup is laughable and John Novak is no Andrew Divoff. This movie has a mean streak. As much as I complained about it, Sam getting to walk again, only to have it taken away from him? Wow! Talk about cruelty. The violence is strong in this one as well. A tongue is ripped out, a face is cut into, a nose is cut off, a woman gets decapitated with a sword. We also get sword impailings, fingers broken in graphic detail and more. Tara Spencer-Nairn is well known for her role in Corner Gas, but she's also a pretty solid actress. I loved her as the lead. She's sympathetic, likable, vulnerable, but strong-willed. Horror fans will love her. Michael Trucco is suave in human form as the Djinn. Jason Thompson does well, but his character is so abrasive and whiny that he is very unsympathetic, as I explained above. I thought the ending was a tad anti- climatic as ellFinal Thoughts: I liked this movie for what it was. It doesn't exactly pull of what it's trying to do, but it deserves to be lauded for the effort. Not everyone will feel the same way as me, but this is far from the STV trash that people say it is. It's very flawed and nothing special, but the effort is there. It's worth a watch5.4/10

As I read the comments of this movie, I was not quite sure if I should watch it. I did not watch parts I, II and III but that was not needed to follow the line of the movie. But I was glad I did watch it. There was not too much gore and the right amount of action. The demon does not look really scary. And surprisingly nicely mixed with romance and even some humor. Acting was also okay. Its about a girl, whose boyfriend had a motorcycle accident and cannot walk. The girl gets involved with the djinn who has invaded the body of the lawyer that works for her and her boyfriend. By trying to grant her wishes he wants to set free other djinns. So if you like horror-movies and your girlfriend does not, this is one to watch. It is not a top-movie but quite okay to watch. Not really worth renting but if its on TV just give it a try.

Let'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!
