A low-budget scarer like this could have worked. The script lets it down.

By the time "The Final Wish" gets to the much more effective suspense sequences - and the enjoyably perverse twists - it's too little and too late.

4/5

…horror in a classic mode, with care taken on character, atmosphere and a rather baroque appearance; these are classic tropes, but The Final Wish does something fresh with them, and the result should leave even the most jaded horror fans wanting more…

3/5

As a malicious spirit wreaks havoc, the film delivers a batch of cruel, clever shocks. While the demon might have been scarier left unseen, atmospheric visuals and a nifty final twist help make this a solidly moody chiller.

While Welch and Shaye are truly great, it's hard to forgive The Final Wish for all its narrative missteps. 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.

Creepy movie with good acting and i liked the story. It was not a big thriller but i enjoyed its creepy aspects and horror qualities. The jinn was kind of bloated in the face and seemed funny to see. Other than that. Simple and sweet

What were the critics smoking when they reviewed this movie. I don't think I've ever seen such a discrepancy between "expert" opinion and the viewers. This film is appalling.

i dont understand the high rating here. it is the most generic use of fake-out jump scares and reusing the same Tony Todd character he had in Final Destination. the djinn itself when revealed gave me a jump but still nothing else to give it the creep factor im looking for

88%? Really ? It was an awful awful awful awful and I can't stress this enough awful movie. it is lackluster unmotivated and a waste of time. I don't know who is giving this movie all these Stars but shame on you. I do not recommend this movie, if this was the last movie in the world I would throw it in the trash.

The Final Wish is obviously a low budget film but a good premise and decent acting make up for what it lacks in quality. The concept of Jinn is original and could've been turned into a great movie had it not depended on familiar horror tropes for scares.
