Review of Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies (1999) by Andy C — 25 Apr 2010
Andrew Divoff continues to own, in this samey/samey sequel. It's ridiculous, going for laughs and gore, but never a scare. The moment someone says "I wish my lawyer would go fuck himself!" You know you're in for a treat.
It may not make any sense, but at least it was entertaining in a weird way. The film shouldn't be taken seriously, but it should at least create some rules for its mythology. It seems that the Djinn can now pick and choose which wishes he grants, and manipulates them in ways that don't make sense.
There's also too much God talk, from a terible Paul Johansson. To top it off, our heroine is a murderer. In a film like this, you're not going to be able to connect the audience with a complex character, so why bother?
