Wish Upon Reviews
Wish Upon feels like the offspring of Are You Afraid of the Dark? and Final Destination, yet is content to remain a C student and coast on the success of its parents.

"Be careful what you wish for Clare, the demon might come after your soul. Of course, I wanted the filmmakers to develop that concept a bit more."
| Original Score: 7.4/10 | Jul 13, 2020
Wish Upon is pure empty space, a nothing experience that tries to take the easy path to its scares.
| Original Score: C- | Jul 13, 2020
Though it's destined to be largely forgotten, "Wish Upon" is at least watchable.
| Original Score: C+ | Jul 1, 2020
I wasn't scared, amused, or otherwise peripherally entertained in any way by Wish Upon.

Wish Upon is not a bad attempt a horror-thriller, though it gets rushed in places.
| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Oct 10, 2019
'Wish Upon' is not a disaster, but it is a film that addresses terror in a so decaffeinated way that it is impossible to get into the story it is telling us. [Full review in Spanish]

...this is not a subtle or particularly original horror movie, but it is never, ever boring. In fact, it may be the most striking subversion of a well-worn trope in ages, despite also being almost admirably stupid.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Jul 16, 2019
You should see the film. It's really funny...oh boy, did they make this film.

Wish Upon is just entertaining enough to merit a recommendation. It won't win any awards, but you could do a lot worse at the theaters this summer (Transformers is still out).
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 31, 2018
Hanging with friends who utter phrases like 'selfish bowl of bitch sauce' and 'Sriracha hot' might be why the unpopular life is the only life to live.
| Original Score: 0/5 | Oct 10, 2018
Overloaded with inventive death sequences that will have the Final Destination films green with envy, Wish Upon is a great genre starting point for teens everywhere.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 29, 2018
...a disappointingly half-baked horror effort that could (and should) have been so much better.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 11, 2018
Wish Upon was garbage. It wasn't scary, or tension-filled, or even interesting.

Although Wish Upon claims to be a teen horror flick, it fails to engage you or for that matter, bring on the jitters thanks to below average acting by its lead actors, mediocre direction and a weak script.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 17, 2018
Wish Upon is awful, and even teases a sequel. I wish it into abstract hell
| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 6, 2017
Wish Upon may serve as a good introduction to horror movies for 13-year-old girls, but it will be a dull watch for anyone else.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 17, 2017
That's the nicest thing I can say about Wish Upon: It reminds me of one of the most unintentionally hilarious scenes ever filmed.
| Oct 14, 2017
Finding itself at a loss in how to deliver anything that even remotely resembles a scare or a chill, Wish Upon is uninspired and messy.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 30, 2017
It won't do much for grown-ups, but a camp slumber-party classic is born.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 15, 2017
