Blu-ray Review: Wishmaster Collection

The phrase "made for fans, by fans" is often used to describe indie horror films, but it rarely applies on a studio level. Wishmaster is a rare exception, with a bevy of genre talent involved both in front of and behind the camera. It was followed by three sequels of diminishing quality. All four films are collected and presented in high-definition for the first time in Vestron Video's Wishmaster Collection Blu-ray set.

Wishmaster was executive produced by the late, great Wes Craven (A Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream), allowing the film to be advertised under the "Wes Craven Presents" banner. Special effects veteran Robert Kurtzman (From Dusk Till Dawn, Scream) assumed the director's chair, bringing aboard his prolific KNB EFX Group to handle the copious practical effects. One of his partners, Greg Nicotero (The Walking Dead), worked as second unit director.

The cast features Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street) chewing the scenery in a supporting role, plus cameos from Kane Hodder (Friday the 13th Part VII-X), Tony Todd (Candyman), Ted Raimi (Evil Dead 2), Joseph Pilato (Day of the Dead), Reggie Bannister (Phantasm), and Angus Scrimm (Phantasm) as the narrator. You can even spot the Pazuzu statue from The Exorcist.

Watching the horror icons act in normal roles is fun, particularly since several of them are killed off in a rare turning of the tables. It serves as a passing of the torch to Andrew Divoff (Lost), who plays Wishmaster's demonic djinn. The actor is well-deserving of the recognition, as he plays the djinn with great conviction, both in and out of the heavy make-up.

Peter Atkins (Hellraiser II, III, and IV) penned the script, naming characters after genre writers Jack Finney, Charles Beaumont, August Derleth, and Abraham Merritt; a subtle nod far easier to stomach than the tired cliche of naming characters after famed horror filmmakers. Jacques Haitkin (A Nightmare on Elm Street) served as cinematographer, while Harry Manfredini (Friday the 13th) composed the score.

Wishmaster is about a djinn, an evil genie of sorts. As in the the tale of The Monkey's Paw, the wishes he grants never come true in the manner intended. They come at a price; usually the life of the wisher. Divoff's performance is sinister with a hint of camp, not unlike Freddy Krueger in the early Elm Street movies, while his occasional turgid monologue brings to mind Hellraiser's Pinhead. Tammy Lauren (Homefront) stars as Alex, an auctioneer who becomes entangled in the djinn's plan to free himself and his demonic brethren on earth.

Hiring an experienced special effects artist to direct proved to be a smart decision, as Kurtzman was able to navigate the effects-heavy script with ease. Left to their own devices, he and the KNB crew created tons of gooey effects that still hold up in high definition. Their work is integrated with early visual effects, supervised by Thomas C. Rainone (Lord of Illusions). Some of the digital work is alright, though most of it looks rather crude 20 years later.

Wishmaster was released in 1997, but it was obviously produced before Scream single-handedly changed the horror landscape. While most subsequent genre efforts aped Scream's brilliant meta aspects, glossy production value, and hip, young casts, Wishmaster shares more in common with '80s horror movies. Because of that, coupled with a top-notch restoration, it doesn't feel as dated as most '90s films (Hodder's mullet notwithstanding).

The Wishmaster disc is a special edition in itself, loaded with extras. Kurtzman, Divoff, and Lauren reunited for a new audio commentary, while Kurtzman and Atkins' existing commentary - recorded for the LaserDisc release! - is also included. A third track features Manfredini being interviewed by Red Shirt Pictures' Michael Felsher for a half hour, discussing working with a larger orchestra (and budget) than usual, followed by isolated score selections.

A plethora of new video interviews are featured: Kurtzman and co-producer David Tripet; Atkins; Divoff and Lauren; Haitkin; and Englund, Hodder, and Raimi. It would have been nice to have them all edited together into one comprehensive retrospective, but there's a lot of good information shared as is. Extras are rounded out by a vintage making-of featurette, behind-the-scenes footage, trailers, TV and radio spots, and storyboard and still galleries.

Wishmaster's modest success was enough to warrant its first straight-to-video sequel, Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies, in 1999. Arriving while the budding DVD market was taking off, the budget was lower but not obstructively so. Divoff was the only member of the primary cast and crew to return. Hoping to replicate the formula, another genre vet was brought in to write and direct: Jack Sholder (A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge, The Hidden).

In typical horror sequel fashion, Wishmaster 2 brings back the presumed defeated villain with little attention to logic while altering the established mythology. This time around, the djinn is granting wishes in exchange for souls, as the prophecy requires 1,001 to be fulfilled. Divoff has more screentime but spends a lot less of it in the djinn makeup. For the bulk of the film, he's in prison in his human form before squaring off against Morgana (Holly Fields), a criminal with a heart of gold, and Gregory (Paul Johansson, One Tree Hill), her priest friend.

In spite of the drop off in quality, the movie still has its charms. There aren't any horror actor cameos, but a number of character actors populate the supporting cast, including Robert LaSardo (Nip/Tuck), Tiny Lister (The Fifth Element), and Bokeem Woodbine (Devil). While the first film was fairly light in tone, the sequel skewers more toward comedy, as both the plot and the performances are more over-the-top this time around. In one of the most memorable scenes, the djinn grants an inmate's wish for his lawyer to fuck himself.

A fun set piece at a Las Vegas casino helps stretch the budget, but Wishmaster 2's scope is noticeably smaller than that of the first. That includes the special effects, which were essentially the backbone of the original film. Anthony C. Ferrante (who has gone on to direct all of the Sharknado films) supervises effects on some clever death scenes, but they pale in comparison to KNB's sumptuous work.

Sholder sits down with Felsher for a fresh audio commentary. It's an interesting listen. I was surprised to learn that Sholder passed on the script for the first film but was interested in doing the second when he learned he could write it. A still gallery is also included on the Wishmaster 2 disc.

Wishmaster 3: Beyond the Gates of Hell and Wishmaster: The Prophecy Fulfilled were filmed back-to-back and then released straight-to-DVD in 2001 and 2002, respectively. Although Chris Angel directed them both, the scripts were pened by two different writers, so they each tell entirely different stories. Part 3 was written by Alex Wright (Seance: The Summoning), while John Benjamin Martin (Devil's Diary) penned Part 4.

While the two films share the same crew, the only connective thread on screen is the djinn. John Novak assumes the role, technically playing a different djinn than the one portrayed by Divoff. The makeup/suit looks fine, although it has even less screentime than in the previous films. There are a few decent special effects set pieces, supervised by Roy Knyrim (Sinister II), but the scope of both films feel minuscule even compared to Part 2. The films would likely be forgotten entirely (or never produced altogether) if they didn't have Wishmaster in the title.

Wishmaster 3 plays like a watered-down version of the previous films. The djinn takes the human form of college professor Joel Barash (Jason Connery), and he's on the hunt for Diana (A.J. Cook, Criminal Minds), the studious teaching assistant who releases him from his jewel. Despite his best efforts, Connery lacks Divoff's creepy stoicism. The film adopts a cheesy fantasy angle by introducing a character inhabited by St. Michael the Archangel (Tobias Mehler, Disturbing Behavior).

Wishmaster 4 introduces a bizarre love triangle between a conflicted woman (Tara Spencer-Nairn), her wheelchair-bound boyfriend (Jason Thompson, General Hospital), and their djinn-possessed lawyer, Steven Verdel (Michael Trucco, Battlestar Galactica). The romantic melodrama is better suited for a Lifetime movie, with a punch of Cinemax-style softcore nudity. Fantasy elements are present once again, with an out-of-nowhere angel (Victor Webster, The Scorpion King 4: Quest for Power) hunting the djinn and a trio of half-formed djinns awaiting their time to come to earth.

No new special features were produced for the latter two films, not that anyone was clamoring for them. The DVD extras - audio commentaries and behind-the-scenes featurettes - are ported over. Although I remain unimpressed by both efforts, Angel's passion on the commentaries (one for Part 3 and two for Part 4) made me appreciate them more. With each film shot on a tight, 16-day schedule, I can sympathize with his plight.

Wishmaster was a valiant attempt to create a new horror icon among the bland 1990s genre offerings. Its sequels prove a thriving franchise wasn't meant to be, but the original stands as a crowd-pleasing special effects showcase. The film looks better than ever on Blu-ray, and the lesser sequels can be seen as special features in this definitive three-disc set.

Wishmaster Collection will be released on March 28 via Lionsgate.
