The Wisher (2002) dives into the psyche of a horror-obsessed teenager who's got a fascination that spirals out of control. The film's atmosphere is thick with tension, especially as Mary and her friends sneak out to watch the titular movie. It blends the lines of fiction and reality in a way that makes you question what horrors can truly manifest. The pacing does have its lulls, but when the creepy antagonist starts bending reality, it really gets under your skin. Practical effects are a highlight here, capturing a rawness that adds a layer of authenticity to the scares. Performances, particularly from Mary, feel genuine and relatable, which amplifies the chilling themes of desire and consequence. It’s a unique exploration of the impact of our obsessions.
