In the final installment, the Djinn is freed by a woman named Lisa. This sequel adds a twist: the Djinn must not only grant three wishes but also make Lisa fall in love with him "of her own free will" to trigger the end of the world. He possesses her lawyer to woo her. Lisa eventually realizes the deception and uses her final wish to kill the Djinn, ending the curse once and for all.

Be Careful What You Wish For: Revisiting the Wishmaster Complete Collection

Unlike the heroic genies found in Aladdin , the Djinn of the Wishmaster series is a creature of pure malice. Born from the void between heaven and hell, the Djinn seeks to grant three wishes to the person who wakes him. Once the third wish is granted, an army of Djinn will be unleashed to enslave humanity. The catch? The Djinn is a "monkey’s paw" entity—he fulfills wishes in the most literal, ironic, and violent ways imaginable. Wishmaster (1997): The Masterpiece

John Novak returns as the Djinn, but the premise is now a tragic romance: a paralyzed woman’s wish to walk again accidentally frees the Djinn. The film tries for a cursed-love angle that falls flat.

This feels like a non-franchise demon movie with “Wishmaster” slapped on the title.
