Wish Upon [2017] [PG-13] - 3.7.

The music box, the first successful device that could play a musical tune, was probably invented in Switzerland around 1770. Early music boxes were designed to play music using flat metal prongs that were plucked by a revolving metal cylinder. Eventually music box makers developed a flat disc to play the music.

Wish Upon 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.

This is a film that is too complicated and too packed full of extras that it doesn't need. It's a visually dull and narratively unimaginative take on a story that any horror fan has seen told dozens of times before. A low-budget scarer like this could have worked. The script lets it down.

No, it's not really a horror film, I'd call it more of a strange supernatural thriller. BUT, it deserves about a 5.5-6.0 rating, it is above average, on the whole.

I want parents to know this movie is not meant for children under the age of twelve.
