Wishcraft

The reason I rented this movie, was the feel-good plot. The geek gets the girl after being granted three wishes.

The movie is very standard feature, with some interesting blood and gore scenes. The love-story is much better, and there are some humoristic scenes that are worth watching.

If you want an interesting sci-fi movie about getting wishes granted, «Wishmaster» is better.

5/10

In WISHCRAFT, high school brainiac Brett Bumpers (Michael Weston) pines away for the beautiful cheerleader Samantha Warren (Alexandra Holden). One day, Brett receives a mysterious package containing a mummified bull's -insert favorite penile euphemism-, which grants him 3 wishes.

Upon making his first wish, Brett sets into motion a series of macabre and murderous events.

The story is a novel take on THE MONKEY'S PAW with several unexpected twists and gruesome turns. There's a lot going on, much of which only makes sense in the end. Both Weston and Holden are believable in their roles, making things all the more credible and creepy.

A superb horror-thriller for fans of the supernatural...

This movie really suprised me. I was expecting some lame cheesy rip-off of scream or soul survivor but actually it had elements of uniqueness. Easy plot, simple special effects , decent acting and a simple story line all make this film a winner . Don't expect it to smash box office records , but it should keep its head above water and maybe gain a few fans with its feel good ending...

The acting was very bad, the casting was horrible, it was not very good, I had trouble watching it, until the last 15 minutes. The principal photography was off and on. I was curious what the budget was for this film, I would like to discuss this film further with the principal's

A better than average horror movie which has some elements of teen slasher movies, sinister magic practices, and a mystery killer that is stalking a small town.

Some of the conventions of these kind of stories are tossed in as familiar clichés: teacher's pet nerd who likes popular cheerleader, loudmouth idiot jock, smart alek classmates, frustrated science teacher, useless bureaucrats, and other familiar personality types. But the film works somehow in its own weird way. The nerd is sent a magic object (you won't believe what it is), and a note stating he has 3 wishes. He uses the wishes just as you might expect. At the same time, vicious murders of some students commence, and follow the usual teen slasher flick methods.

The movie introduces too few characters to effectively conceal the identity of the killer, and also betrays the identity with too many clues. Random scenes that make no sense, and are obviously to establish the motive for the murders. The acting is actually pretty decent for the leads (nerd & cheerleader, although the nerd's bug eyes were annoying to look at), but acting of supporting roles are at a kindergarten level.

Fair, and OK if you have nothing better to do.
