Wish Upon is a hollow, unintentionally funny horror film filled with causal Orientalism and predictable gore.
As would her hilarious, supportive best friends and her next door neighbor.
It succeeds at neither.

Wish Uponisnt, however, devoid of total enjoyment.
We know from the beginning that the Chinese wish box is killing off innocents left and right.
It takes Claire a bit longer to put the pieces together.
But at a certain point in the film, Claire begins to value her wishes above human life.
Not even her smart, well-intentioned friends (Sydney Park andStranger Things Shannon Purser) can help her.
After all, it doesnt seem to care much about the story its telling either.
