This film essentially begins with an attractive woman by the name of "Lisa" (Tara Spencer-Nairn) voluntarily taking care of her boyfriend "Sam" (Jason Thompson) after he suffers from a motorcycle accident which has left him paralyzed from the waist down. To that effect, it's during this time that a mutual friend named "Steven Verdel" (Michael Trucco) agrees to lend his services as their attorney and files a civil lawsuit on their behalf. As time goes on, Steven gradually falls in love with her which ultimately leads to him giving her a gift that he had purchased a little while earlier. What he doesn't realize, however, is that the gift just happened to have the jewel which contains the essence of an evil "Djinn" (played by both John Novak and Michael Trucco) who is somehow brought back to life once Sam puts the jewel in his office safe. Quite frankly, I'm not sure how this action served as a catalyst, but once revived, the evil djinn quickly goes about seeking to fulfill three wishes from Lisa which will usher in Armageddon upon the entire world. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just that, unlike the first three movies in this series in which the Djinn desperately tries to obtain the third wish from his main victim, he actually accomplishes his primary objective in this one. An interesting step forward, in my opinion. Unfortunately, the special effects were clearly inadequate when other supernatural creatures were introduced, and things went downhill fast from that point. That being said, although this film wasn't quite as bad as its immediate predecessor, it still wasn't nearly as good as it could have been, and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
