    Wishmaster 3 is an unnecessary third film in this dull series. Poorly written and directed, the film feels tired and uninspired. Chris Angel's directing is sloppy, and it shows on-screen. The film doesn't display anything original or refreshing and instead adopts the gore factor ... read moreas a tool to try to save it from mediocrity. Unfortunately, it backfires. This film is yet another pointless sequel that doesn't work, and basically ruins what the first one tried to do. The film is stupid, and not worth your time. There's nothing makes this film interesting and worth watching, and with every other low-budget straight to DVD film, it suffers because the filmmakers don't put any effort in trying to create something watchable and ultimately memorable. This is an awful film that has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. This is simply put a needless second sequel to a film that didn't need any follow-up, especially poorly thought out films that are plainly misses the mark at delivering effective horror. This is a standard low-budget affair that relies on the standard straight to DVD formula. The filmmakers clearly don't care how the film would look. The result is a film that is a mess from start to finish, a poorly executed film, one that really doesn't deliver anything worthwhile. Avoid this third film if you can. There are far better films than this one, and this ends up just being a stupid sequel that never should have been.

    Divoff is out and our new Djinn loses his charisma, sense of humor, and imagination. You felt as though Divoff's Djinn could come up with the weirdest deaths, these ones are pretty basic. One man asks for the two women he most desires to love him. They end up just scratching him ... read moreto death. It confused me. One great opportunity has a guy say "Blow me!" We all know what our previous Djinn would have done. AT least this time the protagonist is more likable, but we don't see these films for the leading lady. It's similar, run of the mill stuff, but less gory and less fun.

    OH man. The plot holes from the other two movies grew exponentially in this piece of crap. A chick wishes for her files to light on fire, and instead she does (and not any files). Another guy wishes to have 2 girls fall in love with him, and they come and rip him to pieces (wt... read moref?). Pretty much the wishmaster no longer grants wishes in a "be careful what you wish for" tone, now it's a "i'm going to kill you. It might have something to do with your wish" tone. LAME. I fast forwarded most of this garbage.

    This one was alright. The best part about it was A.J. Cook. I know I sound like a broken record, but I really think they should stop continuously making sequels.

...there's no real originality or distinctiveness separating it from other low-budget creepers. Full Review

The film seems to realize its need to obscure the cast and narrative early on and does so initially with some welcome nudity and plentiful, albeit amateurish, gore. Full Review
