The American horror movie The Final Wish takes a classic horror trope and puts a new spin on it. However, it only plays with it for a while, then falls into the typical horror cliches, it is saved only by the fact that It is shot with a nice, professional camera, and the movie does not look bad at all. Although attractive at first, what lies beneath is empty and uninteresting in both acting and screenwriting.

When it’s time to reminisce this year’s horror BESTs, The Final Wish will very probably be in several. The least likeable hero. The most overacting actress (the friend of the main character). The most idiotic editing. Even thought the film is not that bad in the visual sense (it’s clear that the budget wasn’t small, the photography is nice overall), the direction is very incompetent – the supposedly tense and spooky scenes are in fact funny. I’m sorry for Lin Shaye, but her character goes from nowhere to nothing. Another example of critics at Rotten Tomatoes being paid (currently it’s at 88%, with a 6.7/10 rating), in this case, a positive review can hardly be defended.
