Watch Wish Upon For Free

Purely Joyful Movie!

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

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.

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.

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)

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.
