mormonnorman I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. The acting was good, story was entertaining, kept me engaged throughout. Not like most modern jump scare horrors, more of a story based movie.
jerralagbayani 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...
smnmprtn The story is your prototypical dark, genie-in-a-bottle one, but without the hassle to make an interesting genie who explains and delivers the wishing-system. Instead, the genie happens to be a curse-like, omnipotent spell that fulfills wishes and forces sacrifices. And who gets their hands on such power? An unlucky, ordinary girl with a tragic past who is unsatisfied with her current social standing. Cliche, I know. Her garbage-diving dad finds a mysterious hexagonal jewelry box in a trash container. Claire Shannon, the ordinary girl, gets her hands on it and figures out that 7 wishes can be made with it. Since she thought she had nothing to lose, she decided to give it a test. Not surprisingly, the wishes work, but someone dies for each wish granted, Final Destination style. She wishes along until she realizes that her wishes are not without consequences, and then she out-wits the wishing-system designed to be nothing but doom, and gets away from the doom.I call this a chick flick because it is. Take a female lead with a miserable past and existence, give her a dead mother and an impoverished father, and make sure that she gets her fair share of bullying and contentment from other people, because reasons. She gets back at people who "are better than her" in the most torturous of ways. Give her everything (low-bar) that she wants, and then take it all away from her to make her a victim again. We must sympathize with her. Oooooh we must sooooo sympathize. Frankly, I totally hated her guts.And what about the implausibility of certain situations. For instance, the school hunk doesn't exhibit feelings of fear of rejection. He's confident he's got the upper-hand about their relationship she wished for. News flash for the women out there: A man who is in love with a woman, not lust, love, will not be confident at all. He'll act like a dork, regardless of how you rate him; it's about how he rates you. But since this is a female fantasy, and that most women prefer to be bottoms, he's purposefully haughty to be as attractive as possible. He has to "own" his social standing, and make her "feel small", because that how women like it. To me, this situation in the movie is unrealistic, and that is how I know this is a suppose to be a chick flick.I don't find the queen-bee bully compelling either. She's too over-the-top psychopathic narcissist to be believable. Or how about how the main character is so ashamed that her father is dumpster-diving that she walks up to him and greets him near school grounds, where everyone can see her talking to them, and take pictures of it. If I were in her place, I'd turn my head and walk away as if I didn't know or see the guy, social-media-age or not. The Final-Destination suspense scenes were decent. The one where you guess/hope who will be the next victim of her wishes was nice. You know, the one between the greedy friend in the elevator or the compelled, handy boyfriend fixing his car? Guess who I picked? High-five.In many ways, I feel like this story is more of a social commentary about how power corrupts. She lies, is callous, and even has schadenfreude. Even when she knows about the causal link between the deaths and her wishmaking, and even when she knows other people know about it, she still wants to make more wishes. Horrible movie secretly designed to be some sort of dark Cinderella/Alladin/Wishmaster/Final Destination story for women.
adonis98-743-186503 A 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. She discovers an evil entity lives inside the box and may be behind the gruesome deaths. Wish Upon might not be the worst horror film of this year but it's right up there, first of all expect the fact that it's even more unrealistic than i was expecting the death scenes were terrible and over the top especially the one in the bathroom. The acting is fine i'll give them that but the terrible death scenes and the plot in general took me out of it and the ending was even worse. (0/10)
