I'm usually forgiving when it comes to B rate movies. Some are horrible and others are masterpieces. I would say this falls somewhere in between. I enjoyed it, but kind of chuckled when the monster was revealed for how cheesy it looked. However, since the movie had a small budget to work with, I can look past that. Overall, it was definitely worth a watch and I don't feel that I wasted my time at all. It is certainly better than some of the films that make it to the big screen. It's reminiscent of the Wishmaster series with a Djinn granting wishes that have twisted consequences in exchange for their soul. So if you enjoyed the Wishmaster series like I have, this is right up your alley.

The Final Wish (2018) was a movie I can across that is streaming for free on Hulu. The story focuses on a struggling lawyer in the city that returns home after his father passes away. Unfortunately for him, his family, and really the entire small town, his father's ashes are placed in an urn that is haunted by a jinn. This movie grabbed my attention because of the excellent cast that includes Lin Shaye (Insidious), Tony Todd (Candy Man), Michael Welch (Twilight) and Melissa Bolona (Acts of Violence). The story unwinds well and the creepy scenes are well done. The movie focuses on being more eerie than scary and the pieces of the puzzle within the subplots fitting together. Lin shaye delivers her character so well it makes the film worthwhile. This isn't a "great" movie but is worth a viewing. I'd give it a 5/10.

There were two reasons for why I decided to sit down and watch "The Final Wish". The first reason being solely that it is a horror movie, as I am a huge fan of the horror genre. And the second was that it had Lin Shaye on the cast list.

I had no expectations to the movie, so director Timothy Woodward Jr. had a clean slate to use for impressing me. However, it turned out that the storyline and plot for "The Final Wish" was subpar and less than mediocre, actually. The movie just seemed to run on autopilot and offered nothing new to the horror genre. Plus, the storyline was so predictable that you knew what happened well before it would transpire on the screen.

It should be said that the acting in the movie was adequate, despite the fact that the performers had very little to work with in terms of script, plot and characters.

I terms of it being a horror movie, then "The Final Wish" was frightfully devoid of anything even remotely scary or spooky. And when the big reveal was unveiled, it was just a shrug on the shoulder, because I had smelled it coming a mile away.

Did the movie had potential that wasn't utilized or exploited? No. Everything was put to use in the movie, just a shame that it was a bland experience and final product.

If you enjoy horror movies, then you should probably invest your time, money and effort in something else, because "The Final Wish" is a less than mediocre foray into the genre, offering nothing new or innovative.
