"Rising from a glut of who cares horror schlock, this wonderfully perplexing piece of confusing, unintentionally funny horror is a strange blend of nonsensical plotting, dialogue, and acting.
Set around a high-school girl who finds a creepy box with Chinese writing on, she soon finds out it grants wishes ...but at a price! Yes, it's another interpretation of the 'you get your wish but someone dies/it happens in a weird manner' sub horror genre.
Fortunately for anyone who enjoys so bad it's good films, this is constantly climbing the 'what is happening' cliff before we reach the 'but why' summit.
Cue bizarre dialogue, phone interactions, and friendships. Characters are introduced and killed off Final Destination style because we need some sort of apparent stakes; sub plots zoom in and out with all the subtlety of a sneezing elephant, and the motivations and actions of our protagonist contradict themselves scene to scene just to have an excuse for the plot to move towards its convoluted ending"
