I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

The previous reviewers had it right when they said this movie is a crappy combination of two far superior horror movies - "Wishmaster" and "Scream".The movie is funny in terms of how awful it is, for instance the lead male character is supposed to be a high school boy, but he looks like he is in his late 20's or even early 30's! I swear I thought I saw a little grey hair in some shots. Its absurd. And most of the other supposed high school "kids" are also way older than they are supposed to be.There is nothing more jarring and breaking of realism in a movie than characters where the actors don't fit the roles they are supposed to be playing. Also, the movie doesn't know what it wants to be, a cutesy teen romance or a violent slasher movie.Note to horror fans, the kills are not good, there are very few of them, the gore is wanting, and a lot of the movie consists of silly dialogue and no action.Even the basic premise is a rip off of the movie "Wishmaster", where the characters get three wishes. However, where "Wishmaster" had incredible special effects with an awesome creature and a intelligent, intriguing storyline, "Wishcraft" has none of the elements. ENDING SPOILER The main villain turns out to be not supernatural at all, but an old washed up history teacher at the high school.The only bright spot is Alexandra Holden, who plays the hot cheerleader and the prettiest girl in the school who the male character lusts after. She is good in the role, and it is clear she actually has talent and a brain, and compared to the other actors she comes across as the only professional among a bunch of amateurs.Not recommended even for the most die-hard of horror fans.

Wishcraft is funny, enjoyable and at times quite tense. It's a slick well made movie that will appeal greatly to anyone in to teen Horrors. The dialogue is snappy, the characters are funny without being too cheesy or caricatured, and the plot is well written.However, some of the movie didn't sit right. For one someone obviously took offence at one or other of the incredibly tame death sequences (most in fact cut away ages before anyone dies anyhow) or the fact that someone gets called a 'mother****er' at one point because it got an 18 certificate despite a sum total of about only 10 or 15 seconds of on screen violence and one swear word. I've seen harder 12s. I feel a lot of people will avoid it imagining it to be more hardcore than it is, or buy it expecting a horror-show and be disappointed.That's part of what happened to me. I saw 30 seconds of this on Sci-Fi one night, which was enough to make me check it out, and as a movie I enjoyed it greatly, but I felt the horror element was way too light to really think of it as much more than a teen comedy with horror elements. Most of the movies I normally watch are a lot more intense than this, and I was under the impression from the part I saw that this would at least sit next to Scream in terms of scariness and horror, if not going the full Halloween/Fri 13th slasher hog, but it really is much more comedy thriller than slasher movie.As such it's really entertaining, but I can't help feeling that it'll disappoint those seeking anything more. I don't think it helped I watched The Convent the night before which is just as funny but delivers hardcore gore, less asinine teens and real scares to boot. Wishcraft's a cool film, and firmly recommended to the more relaxed horror fan, but those who crave insanity will probably find it slow-paced and too user-friendly.

I was flipping through the channels once, when I came across this movie. Had I known what it was about,I would have skipped over it, but I noticed that parts of it were filmed in my home town so I decided to watch it. Damn this movie sucks! I usually don't enjoy the teen slasher flick genre, but this one makes all those I know What you did last summers, and Urban Myth movies look great. It is a b movie so i shouldn't expect much, but none of these actors and actresses could act! And some of it just didn't make sense. However, this movie held my attention because of the wonderfully awful dialouge. Lines like "Hey man, I know stuff!", and "thats not my bowling ball!!!!" as well as the wimpy Bretts' whines and whimpers made me laugh so hard, I couldn't change the channel. Definitely wouldn't recommend watching it, but if there is NOTHING else on TV, and you don't feel like reading, playing videogames, playing outside, going out with friends, or doing anything else that would keep you away from your TV, then watch it.

This teen slasher obviously lacks a decent amount of story, since i dropped in halfway & still managed to reconstruct the whole story ( not in the least because all of it was retold in the form of a confession that the Nerd is making to the Pretty Girlfriend ). Whatever. In spite of some good elements, it turned out to be a typical, ordinary member of the genre. In order to sit through it, these are the good elements : - Alexandra Holden - a girl being hung by use of a traffic light - a guy being crushed with a bowling ball - a cool killer outfit - a katana - Viking dart - a teacher handing us our comeuppance
