Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies
Evil has been summoned... again!
Reviewed by SirWiggle

The second movie in this series starts with the robbery of an art gallery. In this heist, the lovely Morgana finds the red stone that houses the Djinn and unknowingly releases him. As the Djinn starts to collect souls, she quickly realizes what she has done and tries to stop him with the help of her ex-boyfriend who is now a priest. The Djinn's mission is simple: collect 1001 souls and then get three wishes from the person who released him. If he's successful the race of Djinn will inherit the earth. Blah, blah, blah.

In the previous paragraph I gave you a lot of what happens in the movie and I did it for a good reason. There are hows and whys that I left out because I hate spoilers and because some of you might be interested in this flick. But the reason I gave so much information is because I feel as though everybody might be better off not seeing this ridiculous, horrible farce of a film.

There are so many core elements different from the first film that I have trouble calling this a sequel. This film could stand on it's own but I don't think anyone would want it to. The most notable change, and similarity, from first to second film is one of the main charcters, the Djinn. Divoff, who was great in the first film, is back as the Djinn but with a load of changes. The costume changed drastically, not for the better mind you, and the Djinn himself lost the swagger and appeal that made him so likeable and evil at the same time. In this film he's a bit wimpy and not very intimidating.

The story itself is choppy and there were minutes at a time when I thought to myself, "What does this scene have to do with the story at all?" If there was anything that I could pick out that made this movie at all watchable it would be that the woman who played Morgana was pretty hot. But that's all!

Do yourself and all of your friends a favor. Since this movie is for sale on a double disc along with the first, watch only the first film and enjoy it, because it's good. But then let the fun end right there and put the disc back in it's case. You can thank me, SirWiggle, later for saving that hour and a half of your precious time to do something or anything more useful.
