Wishmaster (1997) 
This was an interesting one. Very clearly directed by a special effects guy, the gore and nastiness front and centre and plenty to go around. I also really enjoyed the multiple horror cameos, in fact
Ted Raimi being crushed by a falling crate in the first 10 minutes was hilarious. The character designs etc, all very
'late 90s' and reminded me of Buffy which is not a bad thing, that whole era had a look and I liked it.
However, it's not all great. It was severely let down by a tedious performance of Alexandra by
Tammy Lauren. At first I quite enjoyed the
immediately 'at 11' craziness but then that reaction seemed to be the only thing she could do and for the next 60 minutes I dreaded her being on the screen, the film was 10 times better when she wasn't!
That all being said, I liked this. Interesting story, cool special effects, amusing cameo performances and the 90s aesthetic! I might save the sequels for next October though...
