Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film is loosely based on W.W. Jacobs' short story The Monkey's Paw (1948).
- GoofsWhen 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.
- Crazy creditsMid-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.
- Alternate versionsThe 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.

Featured review
Wish Upon is a typical teenager horror movie. High school kids will probably enjoy this flick more than adults. The only thing I liked about it was the different ways of dying in it. That was creative. But the problem is that there is no element of surprise at all. You all see it coming and that makes a movie without any suspense. And for a good horror movie you need a bit of suspense. The acting is what it is, just average. The story isn't that bad but with the lack of suspense it all feels a bit boring. I would probably have liked this movie more when I was sixteen but unfortunately (or not?) I'm not anymore. But there are way worse movies than this one that's for sure, but also way better, luckily!
