Wishbone

About This Movie

So, "Wishbone" is one of those strange gems from '88 that sort of flies under the radar. Krista Lane’s performance as Madame Divine Bellew is worth noting; she brings a quirky intensity to a role that’s all about manipulation and desire through hypnosis. The tone has this offbeat charm, blending a sort of gritty realism with supernatural elements—definitely not your standard fare. The pacing feels a bit uneven, but that just adds to its peculiar vibe. It’s interesting how it explores themes of transformation and love, even if it doesn't quite land every time. The practical effects are minimal, which keeps focus on the characters and their bizarre interactions, making it distinctive in an era of flashier productions.

"Wishbone" is somewhat rare on physical media, with limited releases over the years. It's an interesting piece for those who appreciate obscure cinema, often overlooked by mainstream collectors. The film's unique premise and off-kilter performances have generated a niche interest, making it a curious addition for anyone diving into the more eccentric side of late '80s films.
