This week, we are diving deep into the ancient, ruby-encrusted world of Wishmaster (1997)! While critics might have slept on it back in the day, the You Run Podcast crew is planting our flag: this movie is an absolute, criminally underrated 90s horror classic.
Directed by special effects legend Robert Kurtzman and executive produced by Wes Craven, Wishmaster delivers the ultimate playground of twisted logic and gruesome, practical VFX. We break down Andrew Divoff’s brilliantly sinister performance as the Djinn, that jaw-dropping statue-coming-to-life party scene, and the incredible parade of horror cameo royalty (Robert Englund, Kane Hodder, and Tony Todd, just to name a few!).
Special Guest Alert! 🚨To help us break down the legendary practical effects, we are joined by the incredibly talented special effects artist Alex Petty of AMPFX Studios! Alex gives us an insider's look at how 90s practical gore holds up today and shares his expert take on the movie's wildest transformations.
What did you think of the Djinn’s rules? If you're listening on Spotify, scroll down to our Q&A and poll to drop your thoughts! Is Wishmaster a masterpiece or a disasterpiece?
