Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story
Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
paulclaassen Cinematographer turned director John R Leonetti brings us a horror film with a great premise, but not so greatly executed - mainly due to bland acting from a cast that appears not to have faith in the project. The acting is completely unconvincing and at times feel like a high school production. The premise is awesome, with the heroin being granted seven wishes, but with every wish someone dies (unbeknownst to her). All her wishes revolves around her and her alone, thus ending in tragedy. This had the potential to be so much better, but sadly the acting ruined the film. The ending was totally unpredictable and very good actually. Quite fitting, considering...
dishon-94970 Could have been so much better if it wasn't for the bad acting and cutting away from gruesome scenes. It's supposed to be a horror movie. The box didn't only ruin the main characters life. It helped ruin the movie.
mormonnorman I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. The acting was good, story was entertaining, kept me engaged throughout. Not like most modern jump scare horrors, more of a story based movie.
spencergrande6 The most recent incarnation of the classic Djinni premise, though this one eschews that entirely in favor of a magic Chinese box with a backstory all its own not involving Djinn. I'm not sure why the locality and myth had to change or where this story even comes from - it's not nearly interesting enough to warrant changing up the formula and it's not like anyone cares all that much anyway. Just get to the mangling of wishes already!Then again, as a result of the changing of the mythology, there are now 7(!) wishes to be granted - 4 more for your guilty watching pleasure. Except that this time, wishes aren't always twisted around. They're applied strongly but hardly in a completely backwards way. The twist is that someone dies every time a wish is granted. That's it. It takes a lot of the fun out of the classic granted wishes premise. The PG-13 rating neuters it (I watched it unrated but it still felt PG- 13). It's just alright with a solid, interesting cast led by the natural and unassuming Joey King, an unrecognizable Ryan Phillippe and Sherilyn Fenn just for shits.
