The gore is scaled back, the wishes become generic, and the djinn is now just a leather-clad demon with a bad attitude. The Wishmaster 1–4 Complete Collection is a time capsule of late-‘90s/early-2000s horror economics. It shows the birth of a cult hit (the first film), the glorious, trashy sequel, and then the sad, contractual-obligation final entries that feel almost like parodies of the original. Yet even the bad ones have moments: Wishmaster 4 introduces a “reverse wish” plot and a tragic romance, as if someone accidentally wrote a CW drama.
