Wow, what a disappointment. I usually like everything pretty, sparkling and singing, but this movie annoyed me through the roof. Way, WAY too much music episodes and singing. For reference Frozen has 32 music pieces in it's soundtrack. Wish has 51! It is way too much. First part of the movie felt like it was ongoing music kabaree with only short transitions between songs. Songs were not very catchy either.

Characters were not too annoying, so I watched the whole movie. But there wasn't anything special either. The goat and the star were cute and had some funny moments, but rest of them were blah. I didn't root for them, I was only looking at them.

On positive note, I liked the animation. There was this stylish vintage feeling on the picture that worked, and I hope to see something similar in the future.

It's not completely new idea to make the whole movie through screens, but I was happily surprised how well this movie managed to do it. You can tell the budjet is not big, but it doesn't matter, in fact I think in some cases smaller budjet gives the makers more artistic freedom and it shows at the end result.

I normally don't get scared at all with scary movies, so I was glad to feel some little tingeling at times with this one. That is a very good sign! I liked the way this movie played with zoom-meeting features like backgroung photos and filters. Actors did a good job and I enjoyed the creepy atmosphere.

So, If you need a semi good movie to roll in the backgroung while you are studying or working, this is your choise! Nice little horror flick with nothing too annoying or too disturbing.

Extra points goes to the end credits/scrolling the contact list. I didn't first realize the movie ended and I'm looking at end credits :D.

I just wanted some boring low rate movie to run in the backround while I work, and I thought that this was it. It started like typical movie of this genre. Littlebit foolish and basic level acting, running and limping in the woods while baddies chases the pretty young white girl etc. But then I was happily surprised when the movie introduced the chaotic good character. It was a turnpoint. There was actually nice chemistry between the two lead actors. Jay Paulson and Hermione Corfield seem to really click and it made the whole film. So even tho this movie ruined my good working rhythm it was quite nice watch. This proved once and again why it is so important that the characters feels real to the audience. Of course script was still somewhat predictable, acting was nice but not suberb, but the spark between the lead actors really rased the level of this movie.
