The film was executive produced by Wes Craven, and is the only film of the Wishmaster series with his name attached.

The film stars Andrew Divoff, as The Djinn, and Tammy Lauren. The film was followed by three sequels, Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies (1999), Wishmaster 3: Beyond the Gates of Hell (2001) and Wishmaster: The Prophecy Fulfilled (2002). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
