Joey King in Wish Upon (2017)
Twelve years after discovering her mother's suicide, Clare is bullied in high school, embarrassed by her hoarder father, and ignored by her longtime crush. All that changes when her dad comes home with an old music box whose inscription promises to grant its owner seven wishes. While Clare is initially skeptical of this magic box, she can't help but be seduced by its dark powers, and is thrilled as her life radically improves with each wish. Clare finally has the life she's always wanted and everything seems perfect - until the people closest to her begin dying in violent and elaborate ways after each wish.

    Entertaining Horror Movie
    Wish Upon moved along at a decent clip, had some good revenge horror and basically kept my attention through to the end, which isn't bad considering most horror movies don't make it past 5 minutes of watching before I turn them off. Definitely some poor editing, but acting was entertaining and production quality was high.
