The story opens with a young couple, Lisa and Max (Tara Spencer-Nairn and Jason Thompson), purchasing their first house and generally mucking about like lovers.
Skip to three years later, and Max has lost the use of his legs in a motorcycle crash. His bitterness and regret has caused a serious rift in his relationship with Lisa, who’s finding herself drawn to their lawyer, Steven (Michael Trucco). He feels the same way, and tries to impress Lisa by giving her an ornate case – but she’s spooked by something after a jewel is dislodged. Yep, you guessed it: The Djinn was housed in there, and, after killing Steven and assuming his identity, he’s back on the prowl. But unlike the previous installments, the Djinn actually succeeds in compelling his waker to make three wishes; however, the third wish proves to be more problematic to grant than the Djinn would have liked.
Overall, Wishmaster 4 never quite makes it up the level of the original – due mostly to the continued absence of Andrew Divoff in the role of the Djinn and as such I would not recommend a purchase.
