Wishmaster/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Complete Monster: Djinn is the most sadistic Jackass Genie who greatly enjoys making people wish things and warping them into gruesome and nightmarish scenarios.
  • Motive Decay: In the first movie, Djinn is will unleash The End of the World as We Know It when the protagonist makes her third wish. In the second movie, he also has to collect one thousand souls before that.
  • Narm
  • Sequelitis: Second movie was acceptable, while 3 and 4 were Direct to Video sequels made simultaneously, discarded canon "rules", and didn't have the original actor.
  • So Bad It's Good: The acting in these movies is... dubious, at best.
  • Warped Aesop: Oh no! You have killed someone! How can you rectify this, in the eyes of God and for lost purity of your own soul so you can defeat a powerful demon whose release you had a part in? Well, first you must get rid of your self-image, start visiting an orthodox church, sever one your fingers and trick the demon to reset things in a way that the guy you killed is revived! Thanks, Wishmaster 2!
