Wishmaster 3: Beyond the Gates of Hell (2001)

Terrible. Even if you like the Wishmaster, this one is tough to watch...
Easily the worst of the four Wishmaster films. Andrew Divoff doesn't play the Djinn in 3 and 4 (wisely, I'm afraid) and the film suffers for it. At least he is entertaining to watch even if nothing spectacular happens. It doesn't even seem like they tried at all to make this movie any good. They ignore most of the mythology of the first two movies, and the actors involved are downright awful. Do yourself a favor and pretend they never made this one...

NOT AT ALL ENOUGH FOOTAGE OF THE DJINN DEVILISH MONSTER!!!!!!!!!!!
What ruined this movie was the fact that the Djinn(who looks like a devilish monster)was only shown for about 8 minutes(or less)throughout this entire 90 minute movie.(I did add up the minutes).And for most of the time,the Djinn was transformed into a blonde guy with beard and mustache that looked SO BORING!!!!!! When I watch a horror movie,I want to see a hideous looking monster for a good amount of time not only for 8 MINUTES or less!!!! Especially of the fact that the Djinn in devilish monster form looks extremely realistic and frightening.Too bad they didnt show much more of him in this hideous form.Im very upset.

The worst of the series
Other reviewers said it but I had to see it for myself. This is the worst of the series. The first two Wishmasters starred Andrew Divoff as the Djinn and had a different director. This installment features John Novak as the Djinn and there is a new director. Novak's performance is not bad at all. I actually liked him a lot. He is different than Divoff, but not necessarily better or worse. The trouble with this movie is that it deviates from the Djinn's usual duality of Djinn/Nathaniel and instead he becomes a totally different person for the whole movie. The character he takes over is dull and unemotional and totally not witty at all. Everything I love about his usual alter-ego is missing here. Aside from that, it is set on a college campus, which is always a recipe for disaster (or at least for cheesy plots). By far the worst part of this movie is when the heroine invokes St. Michael and he takes over her boyfriend. Geez! In some spiritual circles, St. Michael protects you by sending evil back from whence it came, so it made sense to me that she invoked him and I thought for a minute that this movie might improve, but when he took over the body of the boyfriend and turned out to be a total nothing, all hope sank for any plot improvements at all.

I give this movie 3 stars only for John Novak. He is the only redeeming quality in this movie.
