Wishmaster 3: Beyond the Gates of Hell
[DVD Info]

Diana Collins (A.J. Cook) is a college co-ed who has bad memories of her parent’s death (which is a tragic car accident). One day she has to meet her professor, Joel Barash (Jason Connery…Sean Connery’s son!), at a museum to help with an exhibit. When he’s late Diana gets bored and fiddles around with stuff until she finds a stone box and in the box she finds a fire opal (surprise). With three little rubs she accidentally wakes up the Djinn (if you need to know what a Djinn is, see Wishmaster 1). After she takes off, Joel comes in and the Djinn asks him what he wishes for. “Two of the most beautiful women in the world, with me…right now.” After seeing some boobies, they rip him apart and the Djinn takes his face. Diane has it all figured out by the end of that night but her boyfriend and her two friends think she’s crazy and only go along with her so they can eventually convince her to get some psychological help. Will she be able to stop the Djinn before he kills everyone she loves?

The Wishmaster is always found in a museum.
Professors who want to get to know you better, actually want to sleep with you.
Slutty girls like to be called tramps.
Professors who hit on their students is normal...flattering even.
Talking about someone loudly in an echo-y library right in front of them...is the same as whispering...no one hears it.
Angels voices are synthesized.
Angels fight like WWF wrestlers.

"Thank you Professor. Return to sender!" ~Djinn.

Meeehh.

Well…I certainly wasn’t impressed by this movie. It was, for sure, better than Wishmaster 2…but not much. There were 6 Djinn related deaths (DRD) but none of them impressed me in any way. One was very disgusting…but I was eating when I watched it and that didn’t help. The special effects were really cheesy (it gets worse as they go), everyone over acted, the original cool djinn wasn’t cast (Andrew Divoff), and nothing spectacular happened. They replaced talent with a bunch of boobies. Some people like that. This movie wasn’t painful to watch (so it doesn’t deserve 2 run over cats) but I found myself talking through it. This movie did get bonus points for having a car flip over and then 5 minutes later have it spontaneously combust. Because of this, the jury gives this flick:

(BORED!)
