I'll start with the spoiler first: Girl has some sort of psychic connection with horror movies and after a few contrived scenes, she develops the ability to say "I wish" XXX would happen, and then it does. I wish she had made the wish for me to not spend my time on this terrible, terrible, terrible flick. Don't get me wrong--I am a fan of bad horror flicks. I am not a fan of this one. But, to be honest, I only made it halfway through. I had the movie on in the background while I was working. Perhaps during the second half of the movie, Wisher/Spliced became the Citizen Kane of B-horror films. But I doubt it. Citizen Kane had the suspense til the end; we found out that Rosebud was a sled. There's no suspense til the end of this movie; you'll find out that it sucks rocks early on.

OK, so I had insomnia, and this was basically the only thing on TV at the time. It was one of the most horrid and predictable piece of you know what that I have ever seen. I mean many horror movies are just bad, but this was absolutely awful. Frankly, I am surprised that a woman wrote the screenplay. Because it sure seemed like the person who came up with the idea (yes I realize that someone else could have written the treatment for it) was a male loner who was rejected by all the popular girls, and chose to write a story where attractive girls get slashed up and/or slaughtered, as some sort of sadistic symbolic payback. Although, I suppose that's not that uncommon in horror films, good or bad.Then there was of course the ridiculous insinuation about subliminal messages able to persuade people to murder others. It mentions rightfully that the military stopped using them in the 60s. What it doesn't tell you is that subliminal messaging was likely abandoned because it basically has no effect. There is supposed to be suspension of disbelief when watching films, but in this case, it just makes for extremely horrible melodrama.I am not really into horror films, but I can tell what a bad movie is, and this is a perfect exemplar of a horrible movie, regardless of genre.

Horror film enthusiast Mary defies her parents wishes and joins her friends to catch a glimpse of the scariest movie ever called 'The Wisher'.But five minutes into film,Mary becomes violently ill and leaves the cinema.She senses that something is wrong.Soon afterwards,someone dressed as The Wisher from the film begins to haunt Mary,stalking her and with each wish that Mary makes,The Wisher grants it,twisting it around to make it worse than what it really is."The Wisher" is an incredibly generic slasher flick that fails to generate even the slightest amount of suspense.The script is completely unoriginal and the action is rather dull.The Wisher of the title looks pretty crappy too.He's a cross between Freddy Krueger and the Creeper from "Jeepers Creepers",only with shards of glass instead of knives.The climax is awful as it doesn't make any sense at all.There is very little blood,so fans of splatter will be disappointed.So if you want to watch creepy and unsettling Canadian horror film try to find "Born for Hell" and "Rituals".Heck,even "Ginger Snaps" series is better than this turd.3 out of 10.

If the movie is bad, I'll say that it is bad. And here it come - "This movie is among the worst I have ever seen". What wastage of time and electricity.The story is plagiarizing from other horror movie, such as The Wish Master and Nightmare On Elm Street into this pile of (you know).The acting is horrible not to mention the dialogues, "I wish this, and I wish that". Tell me the truth have you ever used this phase "I wish you, shut up!!" what the hell what that? Everything is evolving around the simple word "WISH" (tell the truth, I hardly heard anyone saying this word for years).I don't probably have to tell you who the wisher is, cause 5 min into movie you'll know, so save yourself from it.Reason To Watch: · NoneReason Not To: · Everything in the world,Rating: 2/10 (Grade: F)
