So last night with a couple of friends I went and saw the film Wish Upon. And going into it I thought it was going to be a 2/5 movie but I was wrong! It did a lot better than I thought it would. So I'm pretty happy about that.
The movie stars Joey King playing Claire who one day receives a wishing box that grants 7 wishes but each time you make a wish someone dies. A simple plot but done effectively. Claire's friends June (Shannon Purser) and Meredith (Sydney Park) provide excellent comic relief to the film.
When I was watching it, I couldn't help but feel that I've seen the actress Joey King in some other film before... and by golly I was right! She was in The Conjuring!
One of the flaws of the film is that Claire does make some dumb choices along the way but you could attribute that to the box taking ahold of her, though I think she (the writer) could have done a little better with this.
I have to give congrats for the films pacing which was done nicely, and it really did make sense for the story.
The color scheme was done nicely and fit the overall tone of the film.
The music was average, not outstanding but not bad either.
This is a film that you would probably watch in october to get ready for Halloween. A decent flick that looks like it might have some rewatch value.
final score: 3/5
