Vestron Video Collector’s Series Granting Your Greatest Wish With the Wishmaster Collection 4-Film Blu-ray Set
Sure, a steelbook special edition fully loaded collector’s edition Blu-ray of Popcorn is nice and all but how can that news possible top Lionsgate’s surprise announcement today that they’re dropping a four-film Blu-ray collector’s set of the Wishmaster franchise at the end of March.
Why do I hear cricket’s chirping? Stop that! It’s Wishmaster, people! You’ll get hi-def upgrades of the Robert Kurtzman-directed theatrically released “Wes Craven Present…” original and the Jack Sholder-written/directed direct-to-video sequel and whatever the last two are that even evil djinn himself Andrew Divoff couldn’t bother to come back for. Honestly, I’ve never seen 3 or 4. To be even more honest, I forgot 4 even existed at all.
But I’m sure this franchise has its hardcore fans who will be clamoring for this set so let’s recap what you get?
WISHMASTER (1997): Magically powerful. Supernaturally evil. The ancient entity known in human legend as the Djinn can grant a person’s wildest dreams. And in the process, it unleashes your darkest nightmares.The moral of the explosively terrifying, special-effects-powered, horror-fantasy spectacular: Be careful what you wish for!
WISHMASTER 2: EVIL NEVER DIES (1999): When the legendary monster, the Djinn, is re-released, he begins his reign of terror, plunging the earth into horror and chaos. As the Dijnn 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.
WISHMASTER 3: BEYOND THE GATES OF HELL (2001): 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.
WISHMASTER 4: THE PROPHECY FULFILLED (2002): The unspeakable evil of the soul-devouring djinn rises again in this fourth electrifying installment of the unstoppable. Wishmaster horror legacy! But now, as a host of new victims see their most nightmarish wishes come true, the world faces the ultimate demonic terror; an onslaught of multiple djinns hell-bent on destroying everything in their path!
Lionsgate will be releasing the Wishmaster Collection to Blu-ray via their Vestron Video Collector’s Series on March 28th.
Supplements (if any) have yet to be announced.
