Leofwine_draca WISH UPON is yet another high school horror flick with an entirely predictable storyline that you'll have seen play out a million times before in a million similar ways. A typical mildly obnoxious protagonist - who has no likeable element to her personality whatsoever - comes into possession of an ancient magical device which will grant her seven wishes. They do come true, but with macabre results. This is the kind of teen friendly fare that I generally dislike watching, with cheesy death scenes that feel like weak imitations of the ones in the FINAL DESTINATION franchise and a general generic and predictable feel. I was amused to see Ryan Philippe looking middle aged and playing the protagonist's father.

Ashleigh Miller I thought this film more showed a selfish teenager who just thought about herself which was frustrating. I do think however that the beginning scene with the mum's suicide was done well to foreshadow the movie however there was more questions that needed to be answered about the box.

pericle-95992 Maybe it was , but not like at the end, i was expecting something different like committing suicide like her mother did. still i give a 7 cause i feel some adjustments should have been made at the very start. I like the close up usage of the camera ,not in the violate scenes (that leaves more to imagination) but on the characters (something which is perfectly done on Annabelle Creation). Cgi scenes are missing from the movie. from one point of view is fine but i would love to see the ''beast'' 'the keeper'' ''the ghost'' ''the spirit'' (you name it) that thing which is behind that box in a parallel universe twisting and blending the death scenes scenario, maybe floating around Clare leaving her with anguish and axiety . i dont like the way Clare is crying . her face does not contort at all not in the sad not in the death scenes. Still she remains very sweet!! and sexy, but we needed some more drama maybe some more scenes of her depresion especially after her best friends death , Meredith. In general the scenario is clever and far way more attractive than horror movies where bunch of college students being slaughtered in the forest after nigts of booz and sex , wandering around with a stupid moving camera . I am satisfied enough with WISH UPON and look forward to see WISH UPON 2 if it comes on theatres soon. thanks and congratulation!! for the great work. :-))

spencergrande6 The most recent incarnation of the classic Djinni premise, though this one eschews that entirely in favor of a magic Chinese box with a backstory all its own not involving Djinn. I'm not sure why the locality and myth had to change or where this story even comes from - it's not nearly interesting enough to warrant changing up the formula and it's not like anyone cares all that much anyway. Just get to the mangling of wishes already!Then again, as a result of the changing of the mythology, there are now 7(!) wishes to be granted - 4 more for your guilty watching pleasure. Except that this time, wishes aren't always twisted around. They're applied strongly but hardly in a completely backwards way. The twist is that someone dies every time a wish is granted. That's it. It takes a lot of the fun out of the classic granted wishes premise. The PG-13 rating neuters it (I watched it unrated but it still felt PG- 13). It's just alright with a solid, interesting cast led by the natural and unassuming Joey King, an unrecognizable Ryan Phillippe and Sherilyn Fenn just for shits.
