![]() ![]() It is a fantasy horror directed by John Leonetti ( Annabelle) from a script by TV writer Barbara Marshall. Wish Upon fits snugly into the teen-scream category. The tortures of school life are a staple of movies blatantly aimed at the teen market, and they almost always offer up the same stock characters. Minutes into Wish Upon, I sank into my seat as I again found myself watching the school misfit being harassed by the various forms of high-school ghoul mentioned above. Since before Stephen King’s Carrie, the High School has been portrayed as a veritable hell on earth, populated by monstrous predators such as bullies, snobs, bitches, sexist jocks and their various gormless minions. After decades of watching horror movies, one can only come to the conclusion that one of the most horrific places one can find oneself is in an American High School.
