The first of the Wishmaster sequels shorthanded to "the ones without Andrew Divoff" Wishmaster 3 is... bad. I can't say if it was a new direction they were trying, because (blog post) the setup is generic as fuck and the pacing god (blog post) awful slow. What direction were they going for? Straight to hell?
