When James start Talking about Genie I thought of this quote for Dr.Doofenshmirtz "You know what I never understood? Genies. They tell you to wish for whatever you want but then they add some terrible twist. Like you wish to jump high so they turn you into a frog. Why? Who gains from that? The genie? Where's the benefit?"

[@KingOfGaymes]

The genie benefits from finding it funny I guess 🤔

[@LiathsVibes]

The point, like any mythological antagonist, is the moral lesson: nothing is free, everything gained comes with a price and the bigger the instant gain is, the bigger the price is. For horror sake, this version of the story results in the death of the wisher regardless what they wish for. So I especially appreciate the writers adding in the time-old example of a djinn wish gone wrong with the guys mum dying as the price for him to instantly gain $1M.

I love this movie, but I can't get over how the Wishmaster can twist the most straightforward wishes, yet he just gives in to the protagonist's wish to change the past. Like, he could've said, "Okay, the guy didn’t drink that day, but he smoked crack instead."

[@weeping_me362]

I think how much a wish can be twisted depends on the wording. Alex was very specific on the wording of her wish, the Djin couldn't really do anything else

[@coolnerdlll6053]

Kane Hodder, Tony Todd and Robert Englund being in a movie together was The Avengers before The Avengers, and they did it here before Hatchet. All they needed was Nick Castle and Gunnar Hansen and it would have been complete.

7:24-7:27 "He's no longer Kid Buu, he's Super Buu" Fun fact to any Dragon Ball Z Abridged fans. Cell's voice actor, Takahata101, has mentioned that one of his inspirations when doing the voice for Imperfect Cell was the Wishmaster. As well as the original Funimation's Cell voice, and Zorak from Spaceghost. I've never seen this film, but when listening to his voice, especially 8:47-8:56, I can definitely imagine it. Even in DBZA, they reference this film when Imperfect Cell says the line Wishmaster once said, "But if it's any consolation, that hurt like hell!"

You know what the messed up part is? The store clerk's eyes rolling back kind of implies she was still conscious so for at least like a day or so she was just frozen trapped as a mannequin unable to do anything not even scream.

[@LiathsVibes]

What creeps me out about that is we see her eyes rolling back when she finally dies, which implies they were still mobile while she was a mannequin. Or at the very least were still functioning. And not a single person noticed; imagine pleading to everybody with just your eyes and no one even sparing you a glance.

The scene where Kane Hodder tells the Djinn to "go away" and Divoff's performance.. his facial expression as he turns and the way he walks away like he's literally being forced to is just top-tier. And yeah. The "hurt like hell" line that everyone is mentioning. The whole dang movie is amazing.

As much as I love Kane Hodder being Jason Voorhees, it was both refreshing and surprising to see him without any makeup on to get in character.

So it found a way to harvest body parts from the realm-native beings to replace his own degrading ones, and goes into extensive sleep cycles to preserve energy between harvests. It's drawn to "fear" because, as a Djinn, it'd be drawn to humans who are in particular emotional distress cause those are the easiest to get wishes from

15:59 What do you mean, you only count the one person we know was on this plane!? You think it took off without a pilot?! A copilot? Not a single stewardess on board!? I say we were robbed of at least three kills!!! 😁

[@charlesfuzak]

That's what I was thinking. Even if the entire flight crew called in sick last minute, theres at least one pilot on there. Beautiful cabin crew 🌹 Scarlett Johansson💋💋

[@chrisspike3282]

Wait, people actually give a f about the number of kills?

This was the first horror movie to really scar me as a child and I've been waiting for you guys to cover this movie.

Praying for a continuation of the Stepfather series 🙏

The cinema snob reviewed every film in that series just to let you know

Thank you for covering Wishmaster! It's one of my absolute favorites!

[@itsPlasma06]

I love how James sounds so excited to cover this movie during the intro

[@splatter_proto]

God I love this movie, it used to play all the time on cable when I was a kid. I remember renting it with a friend and seeing the skeleton rip itself out of that dude's body; it had been cut out of the TV version and I was *not* prepared.

[@lucillewilliams2793]

i love this!!! please do the rest of the series. I thought for sure we were going to end up in an infinite wish loop at the let’s get to the numbers bit

so good

[@Tizzz250]

Yup. Why I love James.

I love the Fairly odd parents “IF I HAD ONE” meme

[@johnmorey720]

The final shot of the last movie, when she exits the house, wipes tears from her eyes, and walks into a new day and the rest of her life is... better than three of the other movies combined. It HIT me emotionally.

[@animeotaku307]

James said he didn’t care much for Alex’s storyline, but I disagree. The Djinn playing off her trauma and empathy for others made for a more tense story. And it was so rewarding when she was able to take a moment at the climax to figure out how to outwit him, in spite of her sister’s life being dangled before her.

[@johnmorey720]

@@animeotaku307 the fourth movie isn’t really well made overall, but that last shot was incredible. It captured how I’ve felt every time I have lived through harsh grief and finally had to move forward into life again.

[@LordNifty]

Yes! I've been hoping for a while that you would take a look at this movie; definitely one of the best horror films of the 1990s. One thing I really appreciate about is it has a female protagonist who legitimately outsmarts the villain to defeat him.

[@compatriot852]

Shame this series never got the love it deserved, It's full to the brim of great kills and effects

[@ErebusHellhound]

This is actually my favorite horror movie back in my days. I love cameos, and the performance of Andrew Divoff was dope as the Djinn. The sequels (except Wishmaster 2) dropped the ball hard when they had to replace him with another actor.

[@T1J]

was wondering how he was gonna handle the ending lol

[@cliffscott5195]

I had never heard of this. Now its one of my favorites. Thanks James! I wish for the Kill Counts to never end!

[@samusfan117]

16:01 According to the Kill Count, Nick's mom was a licensed pilot and the only staff member on the plane she was flying when it fell out of the air and crashed.

[@markdailey4519]

Exactly and u can’t fly a plane that size solo FAA require a copilot I think that one needs changed to at minimum 3 deaths
