About this movie

Twelve years after discovering her mother’s suicide, 17-year-old Clare Shannon (Joey King) is bullied in high school, embarrassed by her manic, hoarder father Jonathan (Ryan Phillippe) and ignored by her longtime crush. All that changes when her father 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. Clare realizes that she must get rid of the box, but finds herself unable and unwilling to part with her new-and-improved life – leading her down a dark and dangerous path.

Ratings and reviews

If you think Wish Upon is a great horror film then you're obviously a teen or a fan of Joey King. There are few redeeming qualities in this movie, the main character is a horrible person. The kills are lame and nothing is really all that scary. This one is worth skipping and not worth your money. Watch the trailer and you've seen the entire film.

Possibly the best horror movie I've ever seen. **SPOILERS** After she goes back in the end, i love how she still dies cause going back was her 7th wish, so it killed her. Millions of jumpscares, some unique deaths, and a great ending with an unexpected death. Love it.

It was... Pretty good
