Wishmaster (1997) *
A genie from ancien Persia wrecks havoc in America. An average horror movie, neither scary nor witty, but prepostrously somber and serious. Forget Robin Williams and "Aladdin", this genie is a mean bastard. His victims are such morons (and their wishes so dumb), they get what they deserve. Even the final twist is disappointing.
