"Everybody needs help... even the devil."

Not as good as the first one, but still a better horror sequel than most horror series. The Djinn is still a scary villain and the deaths are still creative. I don't even want to watch Wishmaster 3 or 4 because Andrew Divoff isn't the Djinn anymore, and he is what makes the first two films fun.

hard to make wishing scary

Eric and Morgana Truscott (Holly Fields) break into a museum. Eric gets shot and Morgana escapes. A gem is split open and the Djinn escapes. It grants Eric a wish and he wishes to never have been born. The deadly wishes keep coming. The Djinn turns into his human form, Nathaniel Demarest (Andrew Divoff). Morgana is hounded by nightmares of the Djinn and seeks help from her ex-turned-priest Gregory (Paul Johannson).The problem with wishing is that it's not the most thrilling or intense in terms of horror. It does have some minor fun in twisting around on the wisher. It's not the most exciting first half. The movie does pick up when Morgana can't die. That's really the key. The Djinn should have done an exposition dump early in the movie which forces Morgana into trying and failing to kill herself. That would raise the stakes a lot earlier although it can never get that intense. Torturing Gregory is probably the most compelling part. Pooping out gambling chips is the funniest. The basic premise remains problematic.
