Fast-forward to 2021, and the horror landscape has changed significantly. The franchise's return was met with excitement from fans, who eagerly anticipated the next chapter in the Wishmaster saga. Wishmaster 2 - Evil Never Dies was directed by Joe Lynch, known for his work on horror films like Hostel: Part II and Krampus. Lynch's vision for the sequel was to expand on the mythology of the Djinn, while maintaining the core elements that made the original film so beloved.
