With the release of this big turd, there may not be much hope left for the horror genre. "Wish Upon" is just awful. Unoriginal, unscary, unmoving; well, it's just as I stated: AWFUL.
Really whiny poor girl finds a Chinese "wish box." As this movie would have it, she's also taking a high school course in Chinese. She can make out just enough of the calligraphy on the box to realize she will be granted seven wishes. What she can't translate, however, is the grave warning on the box. Oooohhhhh, I'm scared. Anyway, she wishes away, people die, but she still keeps wishing. After using her final wish, she thinks she's in the clear...but she's wrong.
The movie failed on just about every level imaginable. It might work for a group date of 13 year-olds, but it won't scare anyone else. Hell, it's not even a given it would scare the 13 year olds.
Rated PG-13 for a better box office, this one is a complete waste of time.
