Wish Upon is a 2017 American supernatural horror film directed by John R. Leonetti (Wolves at the Door; Annabelle) from a screenplay by Barbara Marshall (Viral). It stars Joey King (The Conjuring), Ryan Phillippe (I Know What You Did Last Summer) and Ki Hong Lee.
Twelve years after discovering her mother committed suicide, 17-year-old Clare Shannon (Joey King) is being bullied at school, embarrassed by her manic, hoarder father Jonathan (Ryan Phillippe) and ignored by her longtime crush.
All that changes when her father comes home with an old music box whose inscription promises to grant its owner seven wishes. While Clare is initially skeptical of this magic box, she can’t help but be seduced by its dark powers, and is thrilled as her life radically improves with each wish.

Clare finally has the life she’s always wanted and everything seems perfect – until the people closest to her begin dying in violent and elaborate ways after each wish.
