Showing 24 Critic Reviews 80. Wish Upon: Modern day monkeys paw Wish Upon is a horror tale that tells the story of a mysterious Chinese music box that grants seven wishes, but at a price. Starring the adorable Joey King alongside Ryan Phillippe and Elisabeth Rohm it's an original piece, though clearly influenced by the classic tale of the monkeys paw.
Wish Upon is a hollow, unintentionally funny horror film filled with causal Orientalism and predictable gore.. Wish Upon is actually not that bad It's not great, but for those of you who decided to watch it based on the RLM review let me say it's a pretty generic 2010s horror film and aside from one or two slapsticky deaths there's really nothing laughably bad in the film
