Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

A psycho genie turns every wish put to him into an atrocity, until at long last Lauren tricks his nasty ass back into the lamp for good (unless, of course, he's required for a sequel). Englund goes all Peter Cushing, donning dressing gown and cravat to explain the plot, a simple-minded affair, structured around an explosion of body parts and giblets roughly every eight minutes. Wes Craven executive produced, a man without shame.
