The set-up is good, then the reveal happens and it goes off the rails into a fairly standard ending.

It takes quite a bit for me to not like a horror movie. This is one of the rare exceptions. The acting is bad, the story is an incoherent mess, and it's flat out not scary. Again, it takes a lot for me to say this about horror: do NOT waste your time on this one.

This movie was a complete disaster at best and that's putting it lightly. The plot the scare scenes just terrible. I think everyone gave it a chance because the creators of Final Destination were on this. This was a complete piece of 💩

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

Los Angeles Times

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.

Radio Times

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.

Rated: 3/5

The Digital Fix

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.

Rated: 5/10

VultureHound

It's a visually dull and narratively unimaginative take on a story that any horror fan has seen told dozens of times before.

Rated: 2/5

The result is satisfying because the horror is slowly constructed. [Full Review in Spanish]
