An outta luck law student Aaron Hammond (Michael Welch) visits his grieving mom aft he finds out bah his dad's demise who was a collector of antiques. One of the item is a vase which can grant wishes cos of a jinn.
The Wishmaster (1997) had dealt with the similar subject,
Wish Upon (2017) again dealt with the similar concept with a bigger studio backing it n big star cast.
In my review of Wish Upon I had stated that fans of Final Destination will love it.
N now we hav The Final Wish which is written by Jeffrey Reddick, best known for creating the Final Destination (2000) film franchise.
What a coincidence.
But is The Final Wish better than Wish Upon? Well, without the backing of a big studio n without big star cast, this film managed to creep me out in few scenes n it does hold ur attention.
With Reddick as the writer, the film does maintain tension, suspense n the creepiness. Ther r few death sequences without any gore, ther is zero nudity, we get to c the luscious lips, Melissa Bolona bathing naked with the soap foam on her boobs n some weird n irritating noises n laughter.
The director is a bit novice here n the ending isn't that impactful.
The cinematography is good with the bright daylight outside the house which stands all alone besides two trees n a dark n sinister vibe inside the house with all the scary antiques, especially the chair.
The cast is decent with the likes of Tony Todd in a small role, Michael Welch, Melissa Bolona (luscious lips) n Lin Shaye. Of lately Shaye has become synonym with horror films.

The Final Wish
(2018)
It has the same creepy vibe of Final Destination albeit without the budget....
