The Final Wish (2018) Reviews

• Poor on every level

  I believe I read some people connected to the Final Destination films had a hand in this, but the only connection I see is the word "Final" and Tony Todd in a very small role. He's a good actor and so is Lin Shaye, at least they're pros, but the other actors in this are awful, I mean "reading off a cue card" bad. The script stinks, the plot is the too-often done "be careful what you wish for", the editing is bad and the direction is so amateurish you can almost hear the director yell action. The lead character is completely unlikable. The camera work is unremarkable. While Michael Welsh is particularly uninteresting in the lead , Melissa Bolona deserves a special mention for some of the worst acting ever committed to film. Some of her dialogue is delivered as if her mouth were numb. This movie has absolutely no redeeming qualities, except maybe for a chuckle or two I got from how bad it was. 2 stars for 2 chuckles.

• not good and simply boring

  I love movies in horror/mystery category. And i am actually not very harsh critique when it comes to mysteries. But this one is not good. Was too slow, boring, and wasn't even sure in the end what is the twist. Just no, you can skip it unless you really have nothing else to do.

• A horror film for Lifetime fans

  5/10 ???????????????????? Well this isn't an actual lifetime movie but that's the total vibe this movie has from start to finish. Cheesy jump scares of things that aren't there but as soon as the camera angles change they pop up out of nowhere. The actors are formidable a few you've seen before but have no idea what there names are. Categorized as a horror but a 10yo. could sit thru the film and never have to cover their eyes filled with fear. The plot of the movie is kinda reminiscent of other films like "The Brass Teapot" but not hardly as good. It follows a lawyer who's struggling to get a job, When his father dies he returns home and uncovers an old urn with mysterious powers. The pace of the movie is kinda slow but not that bad most made for TV movies are predictable as this one definitely is. All in all the movie kept my attention for the most part and if your looking for family friendly horror this one will be right up your alley.

  I rarely leave reviews on movies, unless they are terrible. This one is terrible. Definitely some shill reviews around here.

• Lazy filmmaking.

  Lazy screenwriting, god awful acting, and poor special effects. The makers of this film had no intent in putting any sort of effort into making even a mediocre average film. The film is worse than a low budget slasher film. If I could give it negative stars, I would. Negative -10
