Leave your thoughts about Wish Upon.
| Boston HeraldStephen SchaeferIf a bit too familiar with echoes of Final Destination and Carrie, Wish Upon delivers the gruesome goods. |
| FilmDrunkVincent ManciniA reasonably fun combination of The Box and Final Destination, in which the protagonist takes far too long to understand the basic premise of the movie. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe splatter is deployed cautiously and sometimes wittily, the story moving briskly from wishes granted to costs exacted with the help of familiar faces (including a warm Sherilyn Fenn as Clare’s surrogate mother) and a sympathetic lead. |
| The Patriot LedgerDana BarbutoIt's as if the filmmakers were brainstorming ideas for the Dumb Ways to Die app and came up with a dumb movie instead. |
| AV ClubA.A. DowdThe real shame is that Joey King got yanked into this cut-rate crap. |
| EmpireKim NewmanA little reticent in gore gimmicks for the Final Destination crowd, but considered as a middle school between Goosebumps and Clive Barker, it’s just the haunted lottery ticket. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfPerhaps Clare should've have wished for new editors as well. |
| NewsdayRafer GuzmanIn this somewhat disappointing summer at the movies, Wish Upon offers a welcome glimmer of magic. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekThough it's actually well-made from a purely technical standpoint, the grim efficiency of the execution can't overcome the essential silliness of the premise. |
| ForbesLuke Y. Thompson...at the risk of supernatural consequences for my saying this, I wish we had better. |
