Wishmaster : Au-delà des portes de l'enfer

First of all,Wishmaster 1 and 2 were great movies,but Wishmaster 3 sucks ass!The one thing I didnt like about this movie,was that they ruined the whole concept of the Djinn,his make-up looks like it was from a low budget horror movie that came from the sixties or something.Another thing that they messed up on,was the Djinn's voice,it doesnt sound original anymore,it just sounds like a classic devil voice.When you look back to Wishmaster 1,you'll see that the plot is original,and that it was a masterpiece,but in part 3,the story is cheap and corny.In the first movie,the main character was smart,she used the three wishes to destroy the Djinn,in this one,they have to impale him with a sword from heaven in order to kill him,but really,that doesnt work at all!!The acting was very very crappy,none of the actors give any felling to the movie whatsoever.It seems like the director wanted to spice up the movie by adding lots of blood and gore,but really,all the gore effects look really bad,the scene where the Djinn slices off the professer's face,looks very crappy.I should also mention that the special effects was a joke.I'm serious about this,the movie made me depressed for a short period of time.I hate this movie with all my heart. I wish that every single copy of Wishmaster 3 would just banish into a crap filled sewer.I give this movie a 0 out of 10,I hate it that much.

Diana Collins (A.J.Cook – ‘Final Destination 2') unwittingly awakes the malicious Djinn (John Novak) who quickly assumes the identity of college professor Joel Barash (Jason Connery). The Djinn then enters a cat and mouse game with Diana in a bid to persuade her to make three wishes and thus condemning the world to an eternity of suffering.

This second sequel is the first movie in the series not to feature Andrew Divoff in the role of the Djinn. Instead, two people play the role, Connery plays the Djinn in human form and Novak assumes the character of the Djinn in demon form. Connery, to his credit, was not as bad a choice as I had first suspected. He managed to portray the Djinn with almost the right air of malevolence. However, Connery's near-powerful performance was let down by the performances of the rest of the cast. Even A.J. Cook, who put in a fairly good performance two years later in ‘Final Destination 2', really failed to impress as she came off as dry, unenthusiastic and generally monotonous.

The movie itself started off reasonably well enough but eventually degenerated into a tedious and overly dragging example of bad horror filmmaking. The plot became very predictable and the screenplay just did not flow well and left the film with continuous moments of pointless, and forced, dialogue. On top of this the script seemed to show little tangency with the previous instalments and, as with ‘Wishmaster 2', the `rules' of how the Djinn can interact with humans was changed. Also added were some unnecessary and (in many cases) ludicrous plot twists that made ‘Wishmaster 3' all that more difficult to watch. There was however some impressive (and plentiful) gore effects, though these were overshadowed by the overuse of cheap looking and unnecessary CGI. Chris Angel's direction was also of a very low standard as it showed little inspiration or creativity. In fact, the scenes stolen from the previous two instalments were robbed of any darkness that was evident in the other movies.

Overall this is a very poor movie and only just on the same level as the previous instalment. Up to now I have not been a fan of the ‘Wishmaster' franchise, and this movie has done nothing to change my mind. Fans of the original might enjoy this more than I did, though many may not be very accepting of the new Djinn. This movie is not one I would recommend and probably only worth watching if nothing else is on TV. Uninspired, poorly directed and generally dull. My rating for ‘Wishmaster 3: Devil Stone' – 3.5/10.

For the third time, the evil Wishmaster return with more evil and grotesque to wreck the life of more innocents. This time, his victim is a beautiful, innocent and studious teenage girl named Diana Collins who accidentally opened up the Djinn from his tomb and released him. After the freedom, the Djinn went into a murderous frenzy though her college campus and he is trying to find Diana to fulfill her three wishes. Whilst Diana is in the run, she must endeavor to prevent the Djinn and complete the heavy task to free the entire world from Hell's wrath. Really, really lame. Wishmaster was a pretty decent horror film, but part two was garbage and this...Well, words fail me. The acting is atrocious! John Novak is terrible as the Djinn! How he's starred in so many films I don't know. The gore is plentiful but unconvincing (Done by SOTA effects, there kind of like a poor man's KNB FX. They also did the effects for 'Amityville: Dollhouse')and the Wishmaster himself is looking as fake as ever. A very bad, unwatchable film. Proof that you don't have to go to film school in order to make movies. 1/10.

this movie is a disgrace to the Wishmaster series it falls into the new age teen thrillers unlike the first two that were purely and simplely horror without even bothering with teen relationships. Andrew Divoff will always be the Wishmaster to me.

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.)
