When her new husband is accidentally crippled, a woman finds that her friend has become possessed by the spirit of the Djinn and tries to hold off granting the third wish to allow his race to take over the planet as his love for her has become too great.This ended up being quite a disappointing entry in the series that's filled with way too many problems to overcome it's good points. The main point here is obviously the ridiculously lame and contrived love angle between the two, which is a unique plot, but goes nowhere with it. The initial meetings here before the possession is a series of long, dragged-out series of scenes petitioning for his chances which isn't all that fun to watch while setting him up as more of a creep than anything, while their own personal struggles don't endear them to this one either as there's very little fun about these scenes. Even after the transformation occurs, their continued arguing and hostility just makes for a dragged out experience here, an while there's the fact that the awakener actually casts the three desired wishes which is an original idea, but this one completely wastes this intriguing idea that drains all the horror from the story by adding in the love sub-theme. Not only is the seduction attempts completely lame and really intrudes on the big kills here, the last two-thirds of the movie is simply the Djinn trying to explain to the other Djinns why he cannot grant the third wish to open the gates of Hell, which is a totally laughable series of scenes as both the creature and also in his human form appealing against the creatures before whining and crying to let him finish. It actually gets boring waiting and waiting to see how it would play out trying to win her over, and this is such a detrimental negative to the film. Another gripe as well is that the wishes granted by the Djinn never really had any negative consequences like the first two as the Djinn never tricks anybody and, except for one, nobody actually got harmed while making their wishes which really defeats the whole purpose for being there. Lastly, the film really seems intent on going overboard here with too many extra-long scenes that go nowhere but really tend to eat up time here, including the unnecessary bonus kills as well as a Terminator plot who must kill her before the Djinn grants the third wish, but this is so clumsily inserted it sticks out so badly it's dropped as quickly as it's brought up in a clumsy sword-fight, just like the equally clumsy alley- fight that's just pitiful which manages to bring this down quite significantly. That said, there's some good stuff here in the fact that this one makes up for a lot of that by inserting far more nudity than any other entry in the series, which not only features their sex scenes and rather sleazy spying scenes but also the meeting place in a strip club comes to mind giving this one a lot more than expected. The only other feature that works here is the finale which does have some nice action scenes throughout as the true plot is revealed and there's dozens of creatures breaking through to prevent the escape only to be trapped back before in the same room again and including a fantastic burning- down-the-house segment. While it manages to contain some nice stuff along the way, this is easily the weakest in the series.Rated R: Nudity, Graphic Violence, several sex scenes and Graphic Language.

Since the third wish is never granted, or the Djinn dies before, I thought that this would be awesome because we finally get to see what happens when the prophecy is fulfilled. But I was so wrong. The prophecy wasn't even fulfilled, so the title is pretty much wrong.Out of 90 minutes, this has about 15 of unnecessary sex scenes which don't really add anything to the story. Not that I hated it, but it just wasn't needed and the time could've been spent on the story, like the Hunter thing, which I had no idea from where and why he came.Another bad thing was the special effects. They were just awful. I mean, this movie was made 4-5 years ago and it was like watching an 80s horror flick. Nightmare on Elm Street had better special effects than this load of rubbish.Just stay away from this horrible movie. If you were unlucky enough to waste money on renting the third, don't make an even worse mistake.

Lisa Burnley (Tara Spencer-Nairn) owns a boutique and lives with her beloved boy-friend Sam (Jason Thompson), who became crippled and very bitter after a motorcycle accident. Sam's lawyer Steven Verdel (Michael Trucco) has a crush on Lisa. The Wishmaster possesses Steven's body, and he tries to grant three wishes to Lisa, to release the Djinn demons and start the Armagedon on Earth. However, when she tells Steven: "- I wish I could love you for who you really are.", her third wish is a paradox, since it depends on herself to be granted. The Wishmaster unsuccessfully tries to seduce Lisa. Although having flaws in the story, "Wishmaster 4: The Prophecy Fulfilled" is a good sequel. I like this character very much, and the two first movies are excellent. In this fourth episode, there is a lack of humor in the deaths of The Wishmaster. Further, there is a character, Hunter, supposed to be good, but the guy decapitates an innocent woman without any reason. Lisa is the "Waker" that will fulfill the prophecy since she found the red stone. One who wakes a djin shall be given three wishes. Upon granting the third, an unholy legion of djins are freed through a doorway between the worlds upon the Earth. The actress Tara Spencer-Nairn has a beautiful body (specially her breasts) and is very gorgeous. Therefore, this film is not as bad as indicated in some IMDb reviews. My vote is six.Title (Brazil) "O Mestre dos Desejos 4" ("The Wishmaster 4")

When i rented the first Wishmaster when it arrived here in Sweden in '97, i thought it was a masterpiece and a new horror character was born: Andrew Divoff as The Djinn. around 2 years later i saw (at the same store) Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies and i thought YES and it starred Divoff again. but it was a bit disappointing - it wasn't as good as the first movie (how many sequels are?..) but Divoff was brilliant as always but the script was a little boring and it was almost the same story as the first one. about 2 years later i heard about a third one and i thought wow - it's gonna to be a trilogy..! and i hoped Divoff returned as the Djinn..but no, Divoff was replaced by John Novak and the third movie was not as bad as i thought it would be, Jason Connery (Sean Connery's son) saved the movie but Novak wasn't so bad at all either. then i heard about a fourth movie (was it going to be a big series ??) and i couldn't wait but sadly it never came to Sweden for rental so i purchased the UK release of the DVD and last summer i watched it and it was a big big disappointment...well the script was really bad (why name a movie the prophecy fulfilled when it wasn't ??..stupid) the biggest disappointment were that Divoff didn't return for this one either (maybe a great choice 'cause the script sucked). i hope Chris Angel won't be directing more Wishmaster, because he have nearly destroyed the Wishmaster series - the third was OK but no more, the fourth was awful really awful. Well if their is ever gonna be fifth movie bring back Divoff or do a "Wishmaster VS Wishmaster" (Divoff VS Novak). don't make the mistake i did - to buy this DVD.1/10
