Peter Bradshaw Guardian A low-budget scarer like this could have worked. The script lets it down. Rated: 2/5 May 20, 2020 Full Review Noel Murray 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. Jan 25, 2019 Full Review Kevin Harley 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 Feb 2, 2024 Full Review Maria Lattila 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 Aug 10, 2021 Full Review Tom Beasley 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 Aug 17, 2020 Full Review Luis Fernando Galván En Filme The result is satisfying because the horror is slowly constructed.

Ricardo d Mais um filme que trata sobre desejos, mas com uma qualidade muito ruim. O que salva é a participação da atriz de Kate. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/23/24 Full Review Twiggy H Pfft..dull and weird, very amateur-ish. So awful to make a fake prop then try and smash together completely different and random cultural/non-cultural references as a *cough* 'explanation' as to what the fake prop is, but then wrongly 'explain' bullshit about 'the univverrsssee' and 'balllannnce' *eyeroll* ..punching someone in the face with a big happy smile ISN'T 'ballllannnccee' and neither is having actors with crap lines going from overly chipper to stone-cold harsh to chipper again after each few words definitely ISN'T, but it certainly is annoying. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/14/24 Full Review Jeffrey P The set-up is good, then the reveal happens and it goes off the rails into a fairly standard ending. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/24/24 Full Review Firas A 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/15/23 Full Review Michelle L Bad. Just bad. Terrible dialogue and acting. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/26/23 Full Review EMONEY 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 💩 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
