Description

Horror goes to extremes with Wishmaster 3: Beyond the Gates of Hell, the goriest installment of the hit franchise yet. When Diana, a beautiful coed, discovers an ancient gem inside a mystical Persian case, she unwittingly releases the mercilessly evil "Djinn." The gut-slinging demon uses fiendish trickery to take the form of a professor in order to slice, dice and burn his way through the university staff and its students. If he can overpower Diana, his "waker," and grant her three sick and twisted wishes, the very gates of Hell will open up and engulf the world in eternal damnation. With help from the man she loves, she must impale the bloodthirsty demon with a sword from Heaven to save herself and the entire world.

Terrible. Even if you like the Wishmaster, this one is tough to watch..........2007-03-30

Easily the worst of the four Wishmaster films. Andrew Divoff doesn't play the Djinn in 3 and 4 (wisely, I'm afraid) and the film suffers for it. At least he is entertaining to watch even if nothing spectacular happens. It doesn't even seem like they tried at all to make this movie any good. They ignore most of the mythology of the first two movies, and the actors involved are downright awful. Do yourself a favor and pretend they never made this one...

NOT AT ALL ENOUGH FOOTAGE OF THE DJINN DEVILISH MONSTER!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-03-30

What ruined this movie was the fact that the Djinn(who looks like a devilish monster)was only shown for about 8 minutes(or less)throughout this entire 90 minute movie.(I did add up the minutes).And for most of the time,the Djinn was transformed into a blonde guy with beard and mustache that looked SO BORING!!!!!! When I watch a horror movie,I want to see a hideous looking monster for a good amount of time not only for 8 MINUTES or less!!!! Especially of the fact that the Djinn in devilish monster form looks extremely realistic and frightening.Too bad they didnt show much more of him in this hideous form.Im very upset.

The worst of the series.......2007-01-26

Other reviewers said it but I had to see it for myself. This is the worst of the series. The first two Wishmasters starred Andrew Divoff as the Djinn and had a different director. This installment features John Novak as the Djinn and there is a new director. Novak's performance is not bad at all. I actually liked him a lot. He is different than Divoff, but not necessarily better or worse. The trouble with this movie is that it deviates from the Djinn's usual duality of Djinn/Nathaniel and instead he becomes a totally different person for the whole movie. The character he takes over is dull and unemotional and totally not witty at all. Everything I love about his usual alter-ego is missing here. Aside from that, it is set on a college campus, which is always a recipe for disaster (or at least for cheesy plots). By far the worst part of this movie is when the heroine invokes St. Michael and he takes over her boyfriend. Geez! In some spiritual circles, St. Michael protects you by sending evil back from whence it came, so it made sense to me that she invoked him and I thought for a minute that this movie might improve, but when he took over the body of the boyfriend and turned out to be a total nothing, all hope sank for any plot improvements at all.

I give this movie 3 stars only for John Novak. He is the only redeeming quality in this movie.

I just saw this:.......2006-10-12

Because I own the combo-pack of 1 and 2 together that I paid the same price for ($5.99) but I only bought them because I love the makeup on Andrew Divoff (yes the second one was kinda lame and they used a different actor in the 3rd) the first and 2nd had Divoff and I liked the voice inflections that they did with his voice even though in the extras he sounds very similar to this but I did not understand why they sub-titled it 'Beyond The Gates Of Hell' - (Sword Of Jistice) - because there were no gates of hell in the entire film so I did not really understand that premise. I thought the scene of the woman puking up her stomach could have been deleted as it was disgusting and pretty much unecessary. It seems that they wanted a few people to toss thier cookies.
But now I think I might sell mine on Amazon now that I've seen it.
The only reason as to why I liked the first one was because it was directed by Wes Craven. The dialouge and some of the acting in this series was wicked clever.
So they killed the Djinn at the end of Beyond Gates The Of Hell with 'The Sword of Justice' so if the Djinn is dead then why did they make a 4th movie? They've never showed the rest of the legions from hell or the world between worlds where these demons are supposed to dwell in that poem, but as of this writing (10/11/06) I have no yet seen the 4th installment.

Very thin sequal.......2006-07-01

This is the weakest of the four in the Wishmaster series. I had forgotten how poor this was. If you have not seen the first two of this series, than this would movie would not bother you much. As a low budget sequal (such as the last few Prophocies and Hellraisers) I'm sure this was churned out in about 20 days of shooting and about 2 million dollars total to shoot. It meets all the expectations of a semi scary low budget horror/topless flashing girl thrill movie.

However, Since most people who see this have seen the other two, then you will find this Movie very poorly done. The finess of the Djinn character is lost due to the poor script. The way he gets people to to wish is not subtle, the rules set up by the other two are not really followed (1001 souls to collect, the "that which is eternal can not die" line, ect...). The acting affects at times are not congruent with the mood, again compounded by the poor script. And the story line of how they find the jewel in a fed-exed artifact, right out in the open is lame. 1000 years hidden in box out in the open, passing through many peoples hands, and in 5 minutes a curious college girl can find it. Not buying it. ALL in all, buy this movie for cheap, add it to the collection only for posterities sake if you are a collector, but spend no more than rental prices.

Description

In 1880, Auguste Rodin was commissioned to create a set of bronze doors for a proposed museum in Paris. The museum was never built, but The Gates of Hell became Rodin's most ambitious endeavor, taking over twenty years to complete.

During Rodin's lifetime, The Gates was exhibited only once, in plaster. In 1977, Rodin's intention of casting the plaster in bronze was fulfilled when American art collector and financier B. Gerald Cantor and his wife, Iris, commissioned a casting of the monumental work using the traditional and painstaking lost-wax process. When finished, it stood nearly 21 feet high and had taken more than three years to complete. This cast of The Gates of Hell was the first time in more than a century that such a large-scale lost wax bronze pouring had been attempted.

Wishmaster 2: When the legendary monster, the Djinn, is re-released, he begins he reign of terror, plunging the earth into horror and chaos. As the Djinn reaches his goal of a thousand captured souls, it is up to Morgana to stand between the world as we know it and a terrifying future beyond our darkest fears.

I really love the cover..........2003-11-30

Imagine a second-rate rip-off of Fulci's worst film of the 80's by a no name washed up director, without a lighting director or director of photography, without any of Fulci's talent or personal touches or even an attempt to copy them, absoutely no gore but, count 'em, 2 okay looking semi-zombies that immediately fall from one shot, painful miles of plot like mentally walking with a broken leg, with piles of 80s denim macho chesse, a final monster that looks like that thug turned huge muscle bound freak in Double Dragon: The Movie, only made by group on 8 year olds in an underground Vietnam sweatshop, on a straight from muffled audio VHS dupe, and that's this film to a T.

The one amazing thing about it is it looks to be shot on pretty good quality film and has a long, 'professional'-looking Hollywood end credit crawl. Almost makes one wonder what the film was originally entitled and perhaps more background info on it, The opening credits are intact, except for the title shot, replaced with computer graphics...
