History Film / WishUpon

* TooDumbToLive: Most of the characters who die from the wishes end up dying from their own stupidity. Standing on a chair while using a chainsaw to cut down a branch?! [[WhatAnIdiot Really?!]]

* EvilElevator: [[spoiler:Meredith]] is killed when the elevator she is suddenly plummets. It stops and she uses the opportunity to call for help. The door opens and she is about to step out, when the elevator syddenly drops again and plunges all the way to the bottom of the shaft.

%%* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: Paul]]

* ArtisticLicensePhysics: [[spoiler:Unless the car was practically ''blasting'' towards her, there is ''no way'' Clare would've been launched up ''several feet in the air'' when she got struck, ''let alone'' in that small of a parabola.]]

* EquivalentExchange: Every time a wish is granted, someone has to die.

* EquivalentExchange: Every time a wish is granted, someone else dies.

A 2017 horror film by Broad Green Pictures, about a girl named Clare whose father finds a mysterious music box that grants 7 wishes. Although skeptical at first, Clare soon finds out the music box does indeed have power. Naturally, she begins using it to gain her heart's desire. However, every time she makes a wish, [[JackassGenie someone else gets hurt in order for the wish to come true]]. What's more, everyone before her who has ever owned the music box (and no doubt used its wishes) died under mysterious circumstances...

* AlphaBitch: Darcie Chapman. She tends to harass Clare, leading to her wishing that Darcie would rot.
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: Clare's wish to go back in time to get rid of the box has the added effect of bringing back everyone who died previously. Too bad the CruelTwistEnding kicks in and Clare herself dies in their place.]]

* BodyHorror: Clare's first wish makes Darcie Chapman rot alive.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Clare was just a little girl when she witnessed her mother's suicide.

* EveryoneHasStandards: [[spoiler: Darcie might be a bitch, but she's still horrified when she accidentally kills Clare with her car at the end.]]
* EvilDetectingDog: Clare's dog is shown snarling at the music box both when Clare gets it and when [[spoiler: her mother throws it into the garbage]].

* GenericDoomsdayVillain: The demon possessing the music box. It spends the entire film inside the music box granting wishes, never speaking or appearing in person. Even when it [[spoiler: claims Clare's soul in the end]], the demon itself never appears in person. Despite being the driving evil force behind the story, it's more of a plot point than a character. The only time it displays any character is when it [[spoiler: breaks its rule of only killing people close to the owner to kill Gina before she can warn Ryan and Clare]].

* HopeSpot: Twice: Once when [[spoiler: Clare uses her sixth wish to undo her mother's suicide]] and another when [[spoiler: Clare uses her last wish to go back to the day she found the box and have Ryan get rid of it. Too bad making her last wish still dooms her..]].

* JackassGenie: Zigzagged: Surprisingly, with the exception of Paul becoming too obsessed with Clare (even so, he never attempts to rape her), the wishes are all granted the way that the user wants them too (for example, when Clare wishes that her dad would stop embarrassing her, he simply did just that instead of dying so he could no longer do so, and when she wishes that she would be the most popular girl in school, her own popularity is simply boosted instead of the other students all dying or something.) However, for every wish that is granted, someone close to the wisher dies. There is also the fact that, when Clare wishes that her mom had never killed herself, the music box kills [[spoiler: her father]] of all people.
* LiteralGenie:

* LyricalDissonance: The entire first trailer plays the music box's unsettling tune.
** Also, the moderately upbeat "Careful What You Wish For" by Wayfarers playing in the end credits, directly after [[spoiler: Clare's death]].

Although skeptical at first, Claire soon finds out the music box does indeed have power. Naturally, she begins using it to gain her heart's desire.
