This is a fantasy movie where a Chinese "Wish Box" is at the center of everything that happens in the movie.
The main character in the movie is a teenager, Clare, (played by Joey King) and at the beginning of the movie, her mother wraps this wish box, throws it away in a thrash can and commits suicide by hanging herself in the attic.
Then, a few years later, Clare's father brings her this wish box which he finds. Neither of them have any clue about the box and it has ancient Chinese writings all over the box. Clare tries to read and understand but even her school teachers mention that the writings are in ancient Chinese and only a scholar can help.
Clare only is able to make out that its some kind of wish box and makes her wish but is unaware of the price that has to be paid
As the movie progresses, she understands that the box grants 7 wishes and the price of each wish is to be paid by blood - its not explained how it selects who to kill; someone around Clare is chosen and killed
After 7 wishes, it consumes the soul of the wisher and if the wisher disposes the box, all wishes are reverted (not the lives taken by it though)
Clare tries to cheat the box by making her 7th wish to go back to the morning when she got the box but eventually gets killed by an accident
Verdict: Average movie.
