GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Freaktana A Major Disappointment

callanvass A troublesome woman named Morgana (Holly Fields) botches a robbery attempt, getting her boyfriend Eric and an innocent security guard killed in the process. To make matters even worse, Morgana awakens the ancient Djinn, ravished four souls to rule the earth. The Djinn takes blame for the murder in human form as Nathaniel, getting Morgana off the hook. Morgana succumbs to her guilt, electing the help of former flame, now religious Gregory (Johansson). OK, I fully admit that this can be cheesy fun at certain junctures. That doesn't mean it's a very good movie. Believe it or not, half of this movie is played for laughs. It doesn't know whether to take itself fully serious or be comedic. The Djinn going to prison storyline was admittedly amusing in doses with some funny jokes. But it felt a bit out of place as well. Think along the lines of Nightmare on Elm Street II: Freddy's Revenge when it comes to this movie, only not as entertaining. The gore is where this movie really delivers, but it is rather obtuse at times. I'm talking some really outlandish things. Ever seen someone literally "F" themselves before? How about somebody violently being forced through a jail cell? If that doesn't wet your appetite, we also get the finale in the casino, which is fun times. The oddest thing has to be a woman crapping out a bunch of gold tokens. The acting is decent. Andrew Divoff is fun as the Wishmaster. The makeup is starting to get too elaborate and corny, but he fires off one-liners with the best of them, "He needed to chill out" Holly Fields is excellent as the lead. She's a bit unsympathetic at times, but she ultimately won me over with sheer talent. Paul Johansson is a bit bland as the religious love interest. That was a major complaint of mine. They could have gone really deep with the love story between Morgana & Gregory, but it was done in a haphazardly way. It was far too rushed for me and the potential was there for something memorable. I didn't care for the contrived "happy" ending either. I didn't buy it at all, it was forced. This could have been a memorable sequel if they played their cards right. What we get in lieu of that is a passable STV sequel that ends up being completely run of the mill. It is fun in a cheesy way at times, just make sure you prepare for a lot of stupidity4.9/10

GL84 Freeing the dreaded Djinn from inside his prison, the only surviving member of the art-thief group who freed him must stop his rampage through a prison collecting souls which makes him grow stronger before he can inherit the world.This here turned out to be a bit better than the rather routine and run- of-the-mill sequel it could've been. As in the first one, this continues to provide the goods here as well with some cool deaths and some nice gore mainly in the manner in which the wishes from the genie are granted, which are turned into their most malicious and makes for a really fun time here. From the harvesting done here in the prison settings to the encounter with the Russians once freed, this goes through some great gags here of corrupting the wishes exactly like the original where the wishes turned out to cause such vicious, violent deaths from getting pushed through steel jail-cell doors, being skinned alive and having their bodies switching with others after giving their wish to corrupt so there is an ample amount of gore in here, much more so than the first one, and is indeed the goriest one in the series. Also, there's some good stuff here giving this one a lot to like more in the numerous, constant action scenes here which comes along nicely throughout here as the film moves very fast and showcases all sorts of fun scenes here. The opening jewelry robbery is quite nice with the actual stealing and the police intervention capturing the guy, the fine prison riot where he takes over the whole prison, capturing them and imprisoning the two into the interior of the stone where the Djinn holds them in a freakish scenario that's quite impressive, though there's the centerpiece scenes here in the massive, lavish casino as the different games and contraptions get supernaturally charged and begin flying through the air taking them out or even just destroying them outright in even more gory attacks throughout here which makes for a really enjoyable sequence here. By resulting in these grand set-pieces, including the rather freaky visuals that tends to pop-up when he goes for a kill mixed alongside these other scenes, this all comes off really nicely here, and really carries the film. Loaded up with some more dark humor in the quips and some rather impressive facts about their back- story found in the investigation scene, and it manages to overcome its mild flaws somewhat. The main problem with this is the fact that the majority of the film consists of the genie running around granting the wishes that are obviously doomed and the ones who have come before him are clearly knowledgeable of this part, yet there's no reason to continually feature scenes showing them completely unaware of his past and then meeting an unjust end simply for his power to grow. This facet is run through its course far more than expected and makes this feel way too familiar and similar when these are repeated throughout the film. The only other flaw here to this one is the really lousy special effects for everything other than the dead bodies, for the CGI here for the locusts during their casino attack is just pitiful or the transformation of the Djinn into his different identities being rather obvious changes here based on the lame flashing effects done to signal that change, though there's other small examples here. These here are the film's main problems.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Brief Nudity, a sex scene and pervasive drug use.

gavin6942 The Djinn breaks free of his prison inside the Ahura Mazda statue during a burglary resulting in a shoot-out. He confesses to the burglary and murder, despite obviously being innocent. Why? Because inside the prison walls, plenty of men have desires just waiting to be fulfilled...This film picks up exactly where the first left off, with Andrew Divoff reprising his role as the Djinn. The gore effects seem slightly nastier here, at times appearing almost like something from a Cronenberg film.It was written and directed by Jack Sholder, probably best known for directing "A Nightmare on Elm Street 2" in 1985 (14 years prior). I hate to say it, but in many ways this film exceeds Robert Kurtzman's original vision.Of course, some liberties are taken with when the Djinn can use his powers, but I suppose that is not new. And after Andrew Divoff left the series, I don't even know why they kept making sequels.

Rautus Wishmaster is a unique horror film because it uses the genie legend but makes it evil, another good thing about it was horror icons like Robert Englund, Kane Hodder, Tony Todd and Reggie Banister was in it. Andrew Divoff did a good performance as the Djinn.Now the sequel, like most follow ups their direct to video because it may not live up to the first film. Wishmaster 2: Evil Never dies is not that bad really, Andrew Dvoff returns as The Djinn and does a another great performance as him, the gore effects are nicely done. The plot is kind of odd since the Djinn needs 1001 souls before he grant three wishes from the waker when before he didn't but that doesn't matter.A good film with some decent gore affects. Check it out. 8/10
