If there is a single reason to seek out Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies , it is Andrew Divoff’s performance. Divoff, who played the Djinn in the first two films, delivers a masterclass in malevolent charisma. His Djinn is not a mindless monster; he is a sarcastic, patient, and terrifyingly polite demon. With his gaunt cheekbones, gravelly voice, and a smile that suggests he knows something you don’t, Divoff elevates every scene.
