Wishmaster 2 is a cheaply made sequel to the good first film. This one feels rushed, without taking the time to get things right. In doing so, the filmmakers fail at delivering genuine scares, and instead give us a film that is more silly than frightening. This film is painful to... read more

Titillation fills in for fewer makeup effects as the first and so we've a couple of writhing-in-terror-in-bed-in-my-underwear scenes with Holly Fields and that's about it for this installment of the series. Many scenes of the bad guy standing around saying "fulfill the prophecy!... read more

Well it's not as good as the first I'm afraid, good to see Andrew Divoff back again as I think it was a new actor for the 3rd and 4th films. He hams up the Djin rather well, but the deaths are not as inventive as the first. I didn't think it was quite as gory as the first and it ... read more

"Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies" Well I guess bad movies don't die either. With the lack of shock, the funny scenes, the bad acting, the lame special affects and overall anti scariness, it seems this particular bad movie seems to live forever, but for all the wrong reasons.

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... read more

Pretty shameful compared to the first one. The plot holes multiplied 10 fold from the first one...there seemed to be a bunch of rules that all the sudden were different in this one. Way less neat special effects, not as funny or fun. And the two main 'good guys' were really lame.

Ugh. As good as the original was, this one is awful. It seemed like an excuse to find more ways to pervert wishes, but that's about the extent of this movie's merit. I didn't like the heroine and I especially didn't like the way she had to fall back on religion, rather than relyi... read more

Only half as good as the first Wishmaster movie, because the Djinn spends too much time in human form, and we have that awful prison setting. There's a good casino mass-slaughter scene which is as great as the original's cocktail party massacre.
Critic Reviews
disapointing sequel
A cheap, quick-fix horror sequel that methodically destroys its predecessor's shaky appeal.
