Wish Upon
A teenage girl discovers a box with magical powers, but those powers comes with a deadly price.
Why it matters
A gleefully dumb teen supernatural thriller that trades wit for wild, uneven fun — and a cautionary tale about wish fulfillment with teeth.
- Practical effects meet CG in a mix that’s more uneven than unsettling, but the death set pieces deliver some jolts.
- For fans of wish-granting horror like *Thirteen Ghosts* or *The Box* who don’t mind a messy script.
- Captures that late-2010s teen horror vibe with social media-flavored paranoia and a soundtrack trying hard to be cool.
- Not subtle, not smart, but occasionally inventive enough to entertain if you appreciate horror’s more ridiculous side.
