SnoopyStyle Mary (Liane Balaban) loves horror movies. She is sleepwalking and her father forbids her to watch them. "The Wisher" is a big horror movie and Mary goes to see it with her friends, Debbie and Kara. She gets sick before finishing. A man dressed as The Wisher causes Mary's father to crash his car and die. After more of her offhanded wishes come true, she suspects that Brad (Drew Lachey) is the Wisher. He seems to be hanging around her a lot. Campbell (Ron Silver) is the school counselor trying to help her.This is a poor horror effort. It's not completely unredeemable but it's not good. The idea is nothing new. There is one big explosive car stunt. The kills are not that good. Nothing is scary. The Wisher isn't that scary. The acting skills are limited except for Balaban and Silver. The final resolution is nothing special and seems like the obvious thing to do right away. That's why there is no tension in the plot at all. The final option should have been the first option.

George Salazar I love this movie! I was renting movies with my sister and she wanted to get this one but I said no because I thought it would be stupid but I'm really glad she got it! This film is scary, classic, thrilling, fun, and intense! When I first saw it I was scared out of my mind. Their are a lot of intense scenes and a lot of scary and classic stalking moments. And all of the intense scenes are highly unexpected and jump up and scream scary! I'm just really mad because the store I rented this at no longer carries it!:( And I can't find any store that sells it!:( Too bad. I highly recommend this film! It's really fun and classic and a huge suspenseful "what going to happen next??!!" thrillingly film! After I saw this I was too afraid to look out of my window and look up at my huge tree in my yard! I was also afraid to sleep so I left the TV on!

HumanoidOfFlesh Horror film enthusiast Mary defies her parents wishes and joins her friends to catch a glimpse of the scariest movie ever called 'The Wisher'.But five minutes into film,Mary becomes violently ill and leaves the cinema.She senses that something is wrong.Soon afterwards,someone dressed as The Wisher from the film begins to haunt Mary,stalking her and with each wish that Mary makes,The Wisher grants it,twisting it around to make it worse than what it really is."The Wisher" is an incredibly generic slasher flick that fails to generate even the slightest amount of suspense.The script is completely unoriginal and the action is rather dull.The Wisher of the title looks pretty crappy too.He's a cross between Freddy Krueger and the Creeper from "Jeepers Creepers",only with shards of glass instead of knives.The climax is awful as it doesn't make any sense at all.There is very little blood,so fans of splatter will be disappointed.So if you want to watch creepy and unsettling Canadian horror film try to find "Born for Hell" and "Rituals".Heck,even "Ginger Snaps" series is better than this turd.3 out of 10.

KHayes666 You know, when 3/4 of the females are hot in a movie, you can overlook the horrible plot and be entertained by the women alone....but in this movie the stench of the plot is too horrible to overcome.The overall plot completely rips off The Wishmaster and tries to rip off Nightmare on Elm Street. It seems the movie was made in two parts, the first part dealt with the main character sleepwalking and the second half was about the main character getting chased by a weird demon.By the end, the plot was so unbearable and nobody died. A lot of people were hacked by the monster but no one died, what is with that? The monster in the end was played by the young caddy from Happy Gilmore.Think about that, a singer from 98 Degrees saved a girl from the young caddy from Happy Gilmore. Horror has hit rock bottom 4 out of 10 for cute girls but the rest was horrible.
