Divoff still kills it as the Djinn, and though Wishmaster 2 is far superior to either of the films in the franchise that follow it, instead of taking everything that worked about the first movie and expanding upon it, Evil Never Dies takes only half of the things that worked in the first film and then does less with them.

Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.
