The evil Djinn is awakened once more, and must collect 1001 souls to begin the Apocalypse.
2 years after “Wishmaster” was released we finally got the sequel fans were waiting for, surprisingly it was a direct to video release.
The first feature film had gained quite a fanbase since it release which is why it was so surprising this sequel didn’t get a theatrical release but at-least we got to see the series carry on.
Luckily we also see Andrew Divoff return to reprise the role of ‘The Djinn’ and we also get a better lead female actress with Holly Fields, no disrespect to Tammy Lauren but Holly is just easier to watch and not as stiff.
Jack Sholder takes over director duties for this sequel, I’d liked to have seen Robert Kurtzman return and carry on the story but Sholder did a decent enough job. His past work before the film easily speaks for itself with the likes of “Alone In The Dark “, “A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge” and more.
I must admit that I much preferred the plot in this sequel to it’s predecessor, it had a real intensity to it. I know a-lot of people may disagree with me but I think this is a sequel that was more fun to watch than the original.
“Wishmaster 2 – Evil Never Dies” is most definitely worth your time if you enjoyed the first film, for those of you who wrote it off a long time ago, give it another shot!
