October 1, 2009Fun idea. I liked the orgy scene but a lot of the 'Wishes' didn't make sense, like the 'I wish I could escape' scene. Mindless fun.

February 15, 2009A malevolent Djinn released into modern times will rule the world if he can trick a woman into asking him to grant her three wishes. Fun enough horror outing that could have been much better if it put as much effort into the cat-and-mouse aspects of the wishing game as it does t...( read more)

October 18, 2008Despite the numerous plot holes, silly storyline and equal acting, I must admit this film has great special effects and a high fun-factor.

November 18, 2009Andrew Divoff (a.k.a Mikael from lost) made this movie worth watching. He is probably one of the best villains, but the movie suffers from cheap effects and a dragging plot. It makes no sense at times, but it has a lot of unintentionally hilarious moments.

October 31, 2009Mindless entertainment. But I really can't take a movie seriously when the bad guy reminds me of the villain from the Power Rangers movie.
