Reviews

fairlesssam A high school student (Brett) receives a mysterious package in the mail that holds some kind of mutilated animal genitalia and states it grants three wishes. After initially throwing it straight in the bin Brett has a change of heart as the school dance looms and digs it out again.Making wishes triggers a string of 'Scream-like' murders by a cloaked figure, which come across as somewhat supernatural, on other students. So not only do you have the mystery of the package but also a whodunit.It's not the greatest movie but it's quite fun.
MartianOctocretr5 A better than average horror movie which has some elements of teen slasher movies, sinister magic practices, and a mystery killer that is stalking a small town.Some of the conventions of these kind of stories are tossed in as familiar clichés: teacher's pet nerd who likes popular cheerleader, loudmouth idiot jock, smart alek classmates, frustrated science teacher, useless bureaucrats, and other familiar personality types. But the film works somehow in its own weird way. The nerd is sent a magic object (you won't believe what it is), and a note stating he has 3 wishes. He uses the wishes just as you might expect. At the same time, vicious murders of some students commence, and follow the usual teen slasher flick methods.The movie introduces too few characters to effectively conceal the identity of the killer, and also betrays the identity with too many clues. Random scenes that make no sense, and are obviously to establish the motive for the murders. The acting is actually pretty decent for the leads (nerd & cheerleader, although the nerd's bug eyes were annoying to look at), but acting of supporting roles are at a kindergarten level.Fair, and OK if you have nothing better to do.
movieman_kev A nerd gets a bull penis in the mail one day, which grants him three wishes. Meanwhile a killer is on the loose. The acting is ok, I guess. Except I didn't really care for the nerd's nerdier friend at all. The ending managed to be both silly, corny AND stupid at the same time. Meatloaf seems to make REALLY good movie role choices (Fight Club, Rocky Horror, Wayne's World, etc..) or pretty bad ones (pretty much any other movie, including this one)My Grade: C- Where i saw it: Cinemax
Da reel Mikestar This film has to be one of the best teen horror films I have ever seen! It impeccably combines different genres, such as horror and thriller, into one movie, and the result should be uneven, but due to the excellent execution, it is not! What starts off as a stereotypical teen-angst story of a nerd being in love with the prom queen quickly and furiously mutates into a horror film about a boy with three wishes, and how he chooses to use that power.The ending is great, and truly a surprise. What is the biggest surprise is the fact that no one saw it coming - when you think the film is headed in one direction, it is actually going in another! A great horror movie, well worth seeing!
