Back when Wishmaster came out the country was going crazy over the "i don't know who the real killer is until the last 5 minutes of the movie" genre. You know... Scream, I know what you did last summer, and all the other crap-fests like them. Horror wasn't horror... it was a damn Hardy boys book with a little bit of blood.
Wishmaster, in my opinion, is one of the greatest horror movies in a long time. There was blood, there was suspense, there were creepy monsters, great special effects, and no real campy humor. (although I'm still curious why there was a parody of Han Solo frozen in Carbonite when a guy becomes part of the wall in the opening scene.) And best of all, there wasn't any stupid teen situations screwing with the story. It was just Evil vs. Good... Who's smarter?
This is a must own movie. One of Wes Craven's best. Plus the cameos of past horror greats was a nice touch.
