Before making the cult classic, The Evil Dead, director Sam Raimi needed funding for the movie.  So what he did was he made this film as the prequel to his film The Evil Dead.  He made a short, 30 minutes in length, film and with the help of some of his friends, Bruce Campbell being one of them he made this film to make his other film The Evil Dead.  Bruce Campbell stars playing the character named Bruce.  Ellen Sandweiss is also in this film, you'll remember her as playing Ash's sister in Evil Dead.  This time she's playing Ash's girlfriend.   Scotty and Shelly are also in this film, though Linda is not.  The film is about a group of friends who go into a cabin to spend the weekend.  Well, Bruce and Ellen go out for a picnic.  While on their picnic Bruce digs up an Indian grave and finds a dagger.  Soon he is turned into one of the evil dead, so Ellen goes back to the cabin to warn the others, but it's too late.  Bruce makes it there and kills them all.  Now Ellen is the only survivor and she must survive the night and survive ...

Annie is in an abusive relationship.  When her boyfriend hits her she leaves and goes to her friends house, Stevie and Rose.  Stevie is a gothic girl with an interest in witchcraft.  When Annie arrives Stevie and Rose are in the middle of doing a documentary on witchcraft.  Stevie talks them into helping out with a fake seance, just to see what it's like.  While doing this seance they release something evil inside their beach house.  Now strange things are startting to happen.  There is this writting on the wall that says, "Witches Burn!"  And everytime they try and wash it off it reappears.  Now this evil that is inside the house is out to get them one by one.  This evil known only as Lilith. I had saw the first one this past Halloween.  I didn't find that one to be scary at all, it was more of a fun film.  Part 2 I have not yet seen, but I've heard that it is a better film and is scary.  Well, I end up seeing part 3 before part 2 and I must say that this was a good film.  It wasn't a cheesy, fun, flick like the first one.  ...

The Djinn from part 3 is back and this time he has a victim who will make three wishes.  Once the third wish is granted the Brotherhood of the Djinn shall awaken and the army of the Djinn will be able to walk the earth.  As the third wish is made a new villain called the Hunter is awoken and he wants to stop the Djinn by killing the one who awoken the Djinn.  Now the Djinn must grant her final wish, but it's not a wish the Djinn can grant easily because she wishes for true love and it's only something she can grant herself. The movie opens with a very familiar opener.  We get the same lines that Angus Scrimm spoke in the original Wishmaster at the beginning of that film.  That same line is the opening line of this film as well.  Soon we meet Lisa and Sam, they are two lovers.  Sam was in a bad motorcycle accident and he was left not being able to walk.  As Lisa goes to meet with her lawyer he gives her a diamond, in return she awakens the Djinn and then her world becomes a nightmare. I loved the first one ...

The third installment in the Wishmaster series brings us all new characters and a new Djinn.  This time the Djinn is played by John Novak.  Diana is a coed who unleashes the Djinn.  The Djinn then takes over the body of the student's professor and wreaks havoc on the student body at their college.   With all of Diana's friends dying off Diana calls on the angel Michael to help her defeat the Djinn. I was really looking forward to this one, I knew that Andrew Divoff wasn't going to be in it.  Andrew Divoff is the guy who played Nathaniel Demerest/The Djinn in the first two films.  Now he's been replaced by John Novak.  This one lacks the horror elements that the first one had and the cheesy comedy from the second film.  It tries to bring itself more like the original when the Djinn is in human form, making him act more human.  When Diana releases the Djinn it comes and kills the professor and takes the professor's face which makes it look like the professor.  Much like what happened in the first film when The Djinn became Nathaniel Demerest.  Though what this film was trying to do was make ...

Evil has been summoned once again when the evil Djinn is awakened by a burglar named Morgana during an art heist. When the Djinn takes blame for the crime, he's sent to prison where he grants wishes to prisoners in return for their souls, to ultimately structure an army to obliterate all humanity. It's up to Morgana to save the human race. As far as sequels go, this one wasn't that great, especially since it was straight-to-video.  It does the original no justice.  The one thing that I didn't like about this movie is that the Djinn doesn't act like Nathaniel Demerest, he just acts like something else the whole movie.  In the first one he could pass for human easily, in this one he doesn't.  Though it did have it's good points.  I really liked it at the end when he goes inside the casino and tells that woman, "You look a little full."  That part was pretty funny.  If you like cheesy sequels that don't live up to the original, then you will love this one.  It wasn't bad, so give it a try.  I give it 5 out of 10 stars.

After accedently freeing an evil Djinn from his gemstone prison, an auction house gemologist fights to bring his rampages to an end, as they include stealing the souls of the hapless humans whose wishes bring them to ironic early ends. Heavy on the computer-assisted effects, with some mitigating touches, such as Ted Raimi in a cameo and Englund as a stodgy art collector. This movie is often overlooked, but it is actually a good film.  It starts out when the Djinn is first put inside the gem.  The Djinn is freed and it goes in search of people to make wishes.  Though everyone he allows to wish, they only get one, but the person who unleashed him gets three and after that person makes their third wish the world basically ends.  The character who frees him is Alex Amberson.  My favorite scene in this movie is when he pulls out a gun and blows his brains out.  That part was hilarious.  One thing about this movie is that it has cameo's from horror legends.  Robert Englund, who plays Freddy in those Nightmare on Elm Street films plays Raymond Beaumont. Kane Hodder, who plays Jason in the Friday the 13th parts 7 ...
