TU PUNTUACIÓN

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.

Curiosidades
The film is loosely based on W.W. Jacobs' short story The Monkey's Paw (1948).

Pifias
When Clare goes to chase the intruder the second time, her father comes out with the beard that he had shaved off in the scene prior, though it seems at least 3 days have passed since Ryan's conversation with her in hallway and the next time we see him, the beard is back again at the tire change.

Citas
Ryan Hui: Hold up, you dig on multiverses?

Créditos adicionales
Mid-way through the credits, Ryan goes to bury the box. When he takes it out of his backpack to put into the ground, he looks it over and says to himself "7 wishes?" possibly hinting at a potential sequel.

Versiones alternativas
The director's Unrated Version is one minute longer than the Theatrical Cut, it has more gore and it is only available on the American Blu-ray.

Wish Upon: Modern day monkeys paw

Wish Upon is a horror tale that tells the story of a mysterious Chinese music box that grants seven wishes, but at a price.

Starring the adorable Joey King alongside Ryan Phillippe and Elisabeth Rohm it's an original piece, though clearly influenced by the classic tale of the monkeys paw. Thankfully I like that old tale so was excited to see what new twists they brought to the table, and quite frankly I walked away happy though some influence came from Final Destination (2000) as well.

It's a well constructed, suitably paced movie with a fantastic cast and more than a sprinkle of good ideas. I find Joey King very likeable, not only the fact that she's adorable but she's a competent actress with hopefully a great career ahead of her and it's about time Phillippe returned to form.

If you like alternative horror that doesn't rely on a dude with a knife, ghosts, big scary monsters or demonic themes then this may well be for you. There were elements that left me scratching my head but nothing that wasn't forgivable.

Well worth a watch.

The Good:

Fantastic cast

Solid concept

The Bad:

Dreadful cover art

Couple of loose ends
