Avis à la une
Andrew Divoff reprises his role as The Wishmaster in this sequel . He once again gives a great performance . The rest of the cast is fairly forgetable though.
The main problem with this sequel is that it has a very low budget so while some of the effects work well alot of them just look too cheap to be convincing . Recommended only because of Andrew's great performance.

A new twist to the Wishmaster story in that the Djinn must gather 1000 souls before granting the waker the three wishes. Andrew Divoff returns as the Djinn which is a perfect role for him. Divoff looks so evil with the voice to go along with it. When granting a wish, his reply is an unemotional "done" which can cut right to the hearts of many people that make a wish. In the first film the waker was a likeable woman but in this one it is a woman that kills when committing robbery. Someone that is not likely a person that can defeat the Djinn. She enlists the help of a priest which was her one good choice in life. The Djinn goes into a prison for 200 souls. Where can a Djinn get another 800 souls? A place where people wish for something that they don't have. A place that people are so concerned about wishing that they do not realize that their soul is now required? This place is so logical that when you realize it, it becomes a place where you better not wish. Who knows if an evil Djinn is waiting for you?
Wishmaster 2 was very good for it to be a straight to home video sequel to a theatrically released first movie in a series. It really surprised me. I thought it was going to suck, because the first one was so good. Anyway, this film has more great death scenes as the first one. If you liked Wishmaster then you'll love Wishmaster 2. It captures the same elements that part one did. Though it is not as excellent as part one, it surely aims up there and almost hits the mark like the first one did. A must see.
Campy, Tongue-In-Cheek sequel brings back the Wishmaster from the '97 original. Remains entertaining enough from beginning to end, and has a wider sense of humour, with campy situations replacing the original's gore. Andrew Divoff's performance as the Wishmaster is a must see, he alone makes the film worthwhile.

Unlike the first Wishmaster, there are no Horror Icon cameos here, which is kinda disappointing but then it's also something of a relief because there's a chance that any cameos they DID have might have been wasted...on the plus side, the movie does have Vyto Ruginis - who's always fun to watch - AND the incredible icon that is Tiny Lister Jr - in a relatively unique role for him as a prison guard rather than a random thug-type character. The real draw, however, is of course Andrew Divoff doing exactly what Andrew Divoff does - knowing his role, knowing his character, and committing fully to what that role and that character need. I will never knock back a chance to see this man work, and it's a shame he's not widely regarded as being on the same level as Robert Englund, Kane Hodder, Tony Todd and the rest, because he IS on their level, his movies just don't have the wider appeal that everyone else's do.
The story is...meh...but then you're not REALLY here for a top-tier story, you're here to see Jack Sholder and Andrew Divoff work the magic that they work so well. So it's not really that big a deal that they change the lore so much from the first movie I guess - mainly in the number of souls the Djinn needs to collect - because it's secondary to everything else. And everything else works pretty bloody well.
It could have been better, but...

Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesAndrew Divoff, who plays the djinn in human form in this film and in the first Wishmaster film, does not blink when his eyes are visible. He does not blink even during scenes that his eyes are visible for 2-3+ minutes.
- GaffesThe first victim of the Djinn wished he'd never been born and his wish was granted. That should mean that his girlfriend and everyone else who knew him should have their memory of him wiped clean. She should not be grieving for him.
