Joey King in Wish Upon (2017)
Twelve years after discovering her mother's suicide, Clare is bullied in high school, embarrassed by her hoarder father, and ignored by her longtime crush. All that changes when her dad comes home with an old music box whose inscription promises to grant its owner seven wishes. While Clare is initially skeptical of this magic box, she can't help but be seduced by its dark powers, and is thrilled as her life radically improves with each wish. Clare finally has the life she's always wanted and everything seems perfect - until the people closest to her begin dying in violent and elaborate ways after each wish.

    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The film is loosely based on W.W. Jacobs' short story The Monkey's Paw (1948).
    • Goofs
      When 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.
    • Quotes
      • Ryan Hui: Hold up, you dig on multiverses?
    • Crazy credits
      Mid-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 versions
      The 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.
