i must have seen a different film!!
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
If you're a teenager, that is. Had some good ideas but wound up being a little goofy. One of those movies where you see the bad reviews and think people are just being biased. Its entertaining but only because it's pretty bad.
Viewer be warned, this is not a parody movie. Even half way through the movie there were so many hilariously stupid, cringeworthy and cliche moments that I thought it might be a parody, but unfortunately it is not. I highly recommend this to anybody who has seen more than one horror movie in their life and has even the slightest eye for bullshit, as it is often hysterical just how stupid it manages to be. Don't trust a single positive review for this movie, but if you enjoy so-bad-it's-good movies then by all means watch it.
When I see this film it reminds me of films such as The Bye Bye Man because it may have been bland but deserved a 5.7/10. The plot was simple, a teenage girl finds a wish box, 7 wishes, 7 deaths. The cliche thing is the "Be Careful What You Wish For" part because after watching the trailer you'll already know her life will fall into a spiral. The soundtrack at times also sounded off. Some characters didn't reveal much context and were there, some were not. But that is why I liked the movie. The movie didn't focus much on the side characters but just the main character with the box, you can clearly tell throughout the film what she's going through which makes it that the more special to pull off. This is both psychologically gripping and dramatic. I hope you enjoy it as much as i did...
Here's The Lowedown on "Wish Upon" (PG-13 - 2017 - US)...You dig on multiverse?Genre: Horror/Paranormal My Score: 5.8Cast=7 Acting=6 Plot=8 Ending=7 Story=4 Scare=4 Jump=3 F/X=7 Creep=7 Twist=5A teen girl discovers a magical box that will grant her seven wishes. As she uses her wishes for personal gain, bad things begin to happen to those around her."When the music ends, the blood price is paid." If you see this, one thing will pop into your mind..."Final Destination". I was anticipating the death scenes and they were pretty good...if only they had a little more imagination. This is one of those films that really needed to be rated R to make it a lot scarier. Throw in something out of "The Craft" and you have a movie with very little originality. It's not a bad watch...I just can't give it much more than a meh.
