Wish Upon (2017)
Dir- John R Leonetti
An unpopular teen girl is given a mysterious Chinese box that grants her seven wishes, but little does she realize that each wish comes with a terrible price. Directed by John R Leonetti, Wish Upon stars Joey King and is inspired by the classic horror short story The Monkey's Paw by WW Jacobs. Although director Leonetti changes the story, the essential premise remains in this modern take. The pairing of Ryan Phillippe and Ms. King as father and daughter make for a believable family unit as Ms. King tries to make a better life without realizing that the cursed box will only bring misery. While the film's PG-13 rating does temper the violent deaths, there are still enough thrills to entertain the younger audience; this film is clearly intended.
