Wishmaster 3: Beyond the Gates of Hell

I haven't seen the first couple WISHMASTERS -- apparently they play rather close to the traditional notion of the "supernatural wish that takes an unexpected turn" kind of thing. It's essentially a morality tale. Here, though, the wishes are pretty pro-forma, as are the nasty twists: just an excuse to show a lot of gore. Not a bad amount of gore, at that: the director makes wise use of his budget. The plot is obvious, the solution to the problem pretty easy to spot early on. The characters are all annoying crybabies, especially the men. There's too many fake scares. The Wishmaster ill-advisedly becomes Sean Connery's son sometime during the proceedings, generally not a good idea as Jason Connery looks like a prematurely balding college professor, not a Demon From Hell. There's some nudity, though, which is good. Generally not worth paying much for, but if you find it for a couple of dollars, the way I did, you might be amused by it.

This was the first Wishmaster film I watched on TV and I liked it, it actually got me into the Wishmaster films. I like Andrew Divoff's performance as the Djinn because he gives him a real creepiness while John Novak gives the Djinn a Freddy type character but I still like it. The only disappointment was that we don't see the Djinn as much as the previous films but it still doesn't make a really bad film. Jason Connery tries hard to live up to the Djinn's performance when his in human form. Wishmaster 4 is slightly better than Wishmaster 3 but check this one out if you're looking for something to watch on a night.

The fist movie i saw at the cinema and enjoyed the second wasnt as good but the excellent Andrew Divoff made it still worth watching.this third movie does not have the star of the first two movies.its like having freddy played by someone other that Robert Englund.Jason Connery is no match for Divoff.I dare say that Divoff didnt like the script,i know i didnt.the acting was lame the fx even worse.i own the first two on dvd but this rubbish will not grace my dvd shelf.

This movie was a real disappointment. Without the presence of Andrew Divoff playing the Djinn, every other good aspect of the previous two movies seem to have left with him. There sincerely isn't anything good I can say about this movie. The plot is full of holes, the acting is very, very bad and the special effects, well, let's say they're even worse than the acting. Moreover, it's boring, boy is it bo-ring. My advice is to leave this one on the shelf and watch the first two movies instead, they really can't be compared to this stinker. Avoid! 1/10

what this movie needs is a good screenplay, but no they stuck with this piece of crap. on a review i did before on the movie ripper(good=7/10), i said a movie needed to be bloody, gory and fun, they got the blood and gore they just need fun, and that ruined the whole movie, and it's sad because i'm a fan of a.j. cook and horror movies, this just didn't work, sorry a.j. but i must tell the people to skip it. Bad=4/10 (sorry a.j.)

Now after seeing the first 2 'Wishmaster' movies, I had high expectations for this movie. Apparently, they were too high...what hurts this movie, is that it's a total 360 turn from the first 2 movies. What this movie tries to be is a 'Scream' & a "I Know What You Did Last Summer" movie...which isn't saying too much, since they were mere silly movies, than horror movies. Too many just average actors & no pazzazz to it. Jason Connery as the human form of the Djinn isn't convincing. Andrew Divoff, who played the first Djinn character, was great. Such evilness to him. If you're a fan of the first movies, go see it, but don't expect a horror movie.
