Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies

If you've read my review of Wishmaster then you'll know that I really enjoyed it. This sequel was just as good.

Again, it was interesting to see what people wished for. And that evil Djinn caused havoc everywhere-in jail and particularly at the casino towards the end. The wishes were truly great in this film but I won't spoil them for you. I was quite amused by what happened to a lawyer in the film.

It's rare that a horror sequel is good as the first but this was. The Djinn came back and was twice as nasty (if that's possible). This was a great film which I urge any horror fan to 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.

***

Not as good as the first one, but still a better horror sequel than most horror series. The Djinn is still a scary villain and the deaths are still creative. I don't even want to watch Wishmaster 3 or 4 because Andrew Divoff isn't the Djinn anymore, and he is what makes the first two films fun.

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?

This is yet another re-watch, ,I have seen this movie 3 times now, as I saw this before seeing the original.

I really loved this movie, I found it to be a lot of fun but not as fun as the Original.

This as some really nice gory deaths, which I really liked, effect are so fun to watch and some were just playing weird, even for the Wishmaster series.

Andrew Divoff is outstanding playing the Wishmaster, his face just give you the creeps.

The lead actress went bit over the top with some of her acting , some of cast were really bad in this, the most of them were decent, they could have done better.

I loved the last scene in the movie, thought it's was so funny!,

I didn't like some of the effects , near the end, I don't think it fitted well with other gory effect, that worked really well with the rest of the movie.

Not as good as the first , still a fun to be had in this gory sequel.
