175. Wishmaster (1997)

April 7, 2014

The best thing about Wishmaster was all the cameos - Tony Todd, Kane Hodder, Ted Raimi, etc. Not to mention Robert Englund was one of the main characters and Angus Scrimm was the narrator, so it offered a veritable smorgasbord of horror talent. When an art collector orders a rare statue, all kinds of chaos ensues. Unbeknownst to the collector, a powerful demon called a djinn is trapped inside a gemstone hidden in the statue. An appraiser tries to get the value of the stone and ends up unleashing the djinn who then offers three wishes. Any time someone wished for anything, bad things happened (of course), and more often than not someone ended up dead. It was a pretty entertaining movie with some fun special effects and a great cast.
