It' a horrible horror movie, but it's the funniest film I've seen all year. If you like so bad it's funny movies like troll 2 or the room, you should watch this.

It is definitely not a scary movie, but it does have a good story and it certainly kept our attention throughout. Someone else said it is kind of like a "Mean Girls" movie and that is partially true. It is definitely a teen movie. All the main characters are in high school and it covers all the aspects of high school drama you can name. But, the basic story is interesting and we enjoyed the actors. Do not leave once the credits start rolling! There is a little more to the story along with the credits. Everyone else had left the theater and we were the only ones who were still there when this little tidbit came on. Perhaps they are setting up for a Wish Upon 2. Expand

It was such a fun film to watch, although not scary it was tense and comedic in just the right places. It's the perfect mix between final destination and mean girls

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fun horror movie!

This movie is what it promises to be. It's a great pick for horror movie night. It paces itself nicely, it dispenses karma, and it maintains an air of mystery and variation throughout.

This being said, some of it is just like Final Destination, but with clumsiness, and is almost blooper funny when it shouldn't be.

I'll probably watch this again on Halloween. It isn't a masterpiece, but it is really entertaining.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the more decent horror films of 2017

This is probably going to be one of the best horror films of 2017 however that's not saying much. I know this year there's the infamous Leatherface returning for what looks like one of the worst in the Texas Chainsaw franchise and in October the Saw franchise will release Jigsaw which most know will be a gorefest with very little story like most of them are. So I can appreciate that this film did try to do an original story unfortunately it's not that original. This was basically the Wishmaster meets Final Destination with elements of The Craft and The Possession all rolled into one. However since they are all good films I think imitating them wasn't a bad thing. I won't bore you with a summary as I'm sure you know what the movie is about I'll just say I think Joey King is growing into a fine leading lady. It was an all-around decent cast and storyline however I do think it would have been more interesting if the demon had actually made an appearance. The death sequences were a little too predictable and I'm not sure how I feel about the ending. While I liked that the ending made sense and I understand why it turned out that way I'm just not sure it was the best finale to the film.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Now this is a horror movie

Right from the start to cast, I enjoyed this movie quite a bit. You can really see a high school girl here and her mentality as she faces various dilemmas, and how her relationships with others progress. That side of vulnerability is so apparent, and that made this movie very enjoyable. Different concept, good jump scares, lovely music, and fantastic filming angles. I will definitely recommend this to everyone.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In the vein of Drag me to Hell

I don't know why this has such low ratings on IMDb, I gave it an 8. I'm a real horror buff and have seen most so I don't rate movies lightly.

Similar in concept to Drag me to Hell, I was riveted to the screen for the whole movie. Great story, great acting, and extremely entertaining. Not too much gore but many thrills to be found in this excellent tale. Do not miss!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wish Upon: Modern day monkeys paw

Wish Upon is a horror tale that tells the story of a mysterious Chinese music box that grants seven wishes, but at a price.

Starring the adorable Joey King alongside Ryan Phillippe and Elisabeth Rohm it's an original piece, though clearly influenced by the classic tale of the monkeys paw. Thankfully I like that old tale so I was excited to see what new twists they brought to the table, and quite frankly I walked away happy though some influence came from Final Destination (2000) as well.

It's a well constructed, suitably paced movie with a fantastic cast and more than a sprinkle of good ideas. I find Joey King very likeable, not only the fact that she's adorable but she's a competent actress with hopefully a great career ahead of her and it's about time Phillippe returned to form.

If you like alternative horror that doesn't rely on a dude with a knife, ghosts, big scary monsters or demonic themes then this may well be for you. There were elements that left me scratching my head but nothing that wasn't forgivable.

Well worth a watch for any fan of horror thrillers.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wish Upon is an unsettling horror thriller about a girl who is given a music box. The box caused her mother's suicide that she is unaware of throughout the film. You have 7 wishes & after every wish the box has to kill someone. After all of your wishes are used the box finds a way to dispatch you as well. The movie is very eerie in a clever style and the actors are ace as well. Ryan, Elizabeth and Joey add to the quality of the movie, the movie feels original, fairy taleish and it is highly engrossing, B+. Expand

ยิ่งองค์ท้ายของหนังนางจัดเต็มมาก ตัวหนังก็มีความลุ้นระทึกสไตล์ Final Destination (Movie) แต่...เสียดายหนังมันได้เรท PG-13 มันเลยไม่โหดสะใจ

อ๋อลืมบอก ผกก.คนเดียวกับ แอนนาเบล ภาคแรกที่แอดดูไม่จบเพราะน่าเบื่อมากกกกกกกกกก แต่เรื่องนี้เขาพัฒนาให้เล่ากระซับขี้น เพิ่มชีนลุ้นนิดๆ เพิ่งแค่ยังไม่สุดเท่านั้นเอง

ถึงแม้คนอื่นจะบ่านว่าเป็นหนังโง่ๆ แต่...สำหรับผมกลับได้อะไรกลับมาจากหลังดูเยอะเลย

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This summer's hit horror flick

This turned out to be the most enjoyable kind of horror movie - a clever story with some humor that links things together. It's not gory either and doesn't rely on cheap shock tactics.

A poor tomboyish girl who isn't popular and picked upon by the high school **** gets a present of a Chinese wish box that her dad found in a dumpster. It turns out to grant wishes but there is a price to pay for each wish granted. It's fun when she initially gets her wishes like fixing the school **** and getting money and the guy she likes. There is a gleeful anticipation to see how things will play out even when you can guess what's coming.

The likable cast is headed by Joey King - you can see her grow up in horror movies is the right kind of actress for this role - cute and likable. Ryan Phillippe plays her dumpster diving Dad. A notch above the Final Destination series. This should be this summer's hit horror flick.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wish upon features Elizabeth Rohm from Angel as Clare's mom, Ryan P from Cruel intentions as her Dad and Clare is played by Joey King from the conjuring 1. Clare is given a music box that her dad finds among a pile of refuse. She uses all 7 wishes that the box grants. What she doesn't know is that for every wish made, someone she knows has to die. A blood price has to be paid to the chinese demon inside of the box. Clare and her friend trace the lineage of the box with the help of his sister. They then discover that the box has a murderous past. Anyone that had the box died or committed suicide. The box also says in Chinese that the demon claims the soul of every person who uses it. Wish upon is very eerie & I enjoyed every second of the movie. Another movie similar to this is The Possession from 2012. In that movie a young girl is possessed by a jewish demon AKA a dybbuk that lives in the music box. These 2 movies share the music box motif. However in The Possession, there is no wishing. Wish Upon is an impressive horror thriller because it was directed by John Leonetti. John released Mortal Kombat 2 and Event Horizon in 1997. The end twist is a nice touch and will shock you. Clare thinks that she will live and she forgets that her death is unavoidable. She is hit by an SUV, then she lands on another car breaking the windshield. In an extra scene after the credits, Clare's friend is shown by himself with the box. He is clearly considering using the box for whatever he desires. He says 7 wishes then the scene ends. Expand
