Wishmaster II: Evil Never Dies

Wishmaster 2 is a sequel that deserves all the credit it can get. A well-written, imaginative, scary, gory, and well-acted horror movie. With some great sequences of horror action, and humor, I have to say this is a credible sequel.

After a robbery of an art museum, and the breaking of the statue the Wishmaster was condemned to in the first, the burglar finds the jewel and takes it out. But as we know, whoever releases him, gets to take him home to mommy and daddy. Well in this one it's kinda like that, but after the burglar releases the Djinn, she is a she named Morgana (Holly Fields) who isn't the purest girl around. The Djinn (Andrew Divoff, once again in a great role) takes human form, and confesses to the crime of what she did.

He goes to jail, only to learn he needs 1001 souls to take over the world. Like the first, Morgana can see if he kills anyone, and what his world when they die looks like. A terrifying one at that. When she learns of what is happening, and what has happened, she does her homework, and discovers what a Djinn is, and how to destroy it. With her wild look and attitude, she has to purify herself, and team up with a priest to destroy and condemn the Djinn to his jewel for good.

With some terrific performances, and a funny one where a man wants his lawyer for (beep) himself, the Djinng grants this wish, and the lawyer does so but not in the way u think. Very funny, I laughed for a long time. Andrew Divoff plays his character very well once again, and has a great time doing it. Holly Fields (I'm sure in her debut) does a credible job as the tortured woman, who has to destroy it.

It does have a little more plot than the first, but unlike the first, there isn't much gore till the end, to which is a showstopping finale, and an incredible one at that. It does however have more special effects, and gore towards the end, and stays entertaining through out with great humor, and lots of style, to make this a good sequel, as far as sequels go.

I must say, unlike again the first, this one went into more of the Djinn is a demon, to which he's not, hes an evil genie, whose granting backfires, lol. But don't let me fool you he is evil, and bad too. One big thing I noticed with this one, was that the Djinn was more elaborately made, and had more spikes, circles, and gadgets on him. He did however look more scary, adn talked with a scratchier voice. But watch the movie for yourself, if u didnt like the first u won't like this, if u loved the first you will.

Rated R for horror violence and gore, strong language and some sexuality.
