BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

drdeathforpresident I tried; I REALLY REALLY tried to give this film a chance. In fact, I gave it three attempts and in all those times I could not finish this. The lead actress is a paranoid whiner. I just want to duct tape her mouth. Her friends have no personality. They are extremely dull. The wisher looks like a reject from a death metal band. Her dad is some sort of psychotic John McEnroe type. I DID WISH he would take a hike. There is no saving grace. Don't waste your time. If you do, don't come crying to me. Trust me, you have been warned. On the other side of the coin, if you like self torture and movies that suck with actors that cannot act (except for Ron Silver)than I do recommended this highly.

George Salazar I love this movie! I was renting movies with my sister and she wanted to get this one but I said no because I thought it would be stupid but I'm really glad she got it! This film is scary, classic, thrilling, fun, and intense! When I first saw it I was scared out of my mind. Their are a lot of intense scenes and a lot of scary and classic stalking moments. And all of the intense scenes are highly unexpected and jump up and scream scary! I'm just really mad because the store I rented this at no longer carries it!:( And I can't find any store that sells it!:( Too bad. I highly recommend this film! It's really fun and classic and a huge suspenseful "what going to happen next??!!" thrillingly film! After I saw this I was too afraid to look out of my window and look up at my huge tree in my yard! I was also afraid to sleep so I left the TV on!

idyltime-1 This flick is an attempted allegory and seems meant to mean something beyond the usual cheap, demented thrills sought by true slasher movie fans. So, if you're into breasty young things getting their bodies mutilated as some sort of cathartic reaction to changing gender roles, this film is not for you.On the other hand, if you like films that leave you in a "hmm..." state of mind, this is more your cup of tea. It is, unfortunately, hampered by an under-skilled director and some occasionally truly horrid editing, but the acting is well-done. Liane Balaban delivers well in the role, though it is not one that is BEST suited for her well-developed talent.

James Miller This film looks good, I enjoyed Liane Balaban as Mary, and all is perfectly fine for most of the film, but......*********** Many and Serious Spoilers ***********From the beginning, this film seems geared up for the supernatural, so that the final revelation (it was Shane in a costume all the time) makes a nonsense of all that has gone before....Okay. I'll buy the tree spelling MARY at the start – it was Shane in a tree hanging down some paper cut-outs to make a shadow, for some reason (well, he is mad). And I'll allow his unlikely plan to kill her dad - go to an intersection miles from her home, hope he's coming, and driving at speed, jump in front of the car, avoid being killed,and cause a fatal crash. He performs a similar trick later with the two girls, after presumably pressing his ear against the car window, on tenterhooks for Mary's next wish, smarting after failing to give her a winning lottery ticket or a blue gobstopper in the shop (he may have missed those wishes, although with his bionic ears that would be surprising). And I'll even allow his ability to wander around in full Wisher garb, in the background on a television report, dodging from tree to tree on the school lawn populated by hundreds of kids, outside cafes, to only be noticed by Mary……and much, much more……but why, oh why, and please somebody involved with the film or the script contact me, did the movie downloaded at the end have footage of the nutcase-only-thinks-he's-the-wisher approaching the house and attacking Mary on the lawn. Please – it's disturbing me that this could get passed the script stage, and that people do not seem to have noticed it. I shall have to go through the DVD with my finger on the still button, looking for a frame or two craftily inserted, and designed to render the audience insensible to the incoherent plot. A lazy scriptwriter's dream.
