Great Film overall

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Cinematographer turned director John R Leonetti brings us a horror film with a great premise, but not so greatly executed - mainly due to bland acting from a cast that appears not to have faith in the project. The acting is completely unconvincing and at times feel like a high school production. The premise is awesome, with the heroin being granted seven wishes, but with every wish someone dies (unbeknownst to her). All her wishes revolves around her and her alone, thus ending in tragedy. This had the potential to be so much better, but sadly the acting ruined the film. The ending was totally unpredictable and very good actually. Quite fitting, considering...

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.

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.
