Twelve years after discovering her mother's suicide, Clare is bullied in high school, embarrassed by her hoarder father, and ignored by her longtime crush. All that changes when her dad comes home with an old music box whose inscription promises to grant its owner seven wishes. While Clare is initially skeptical of this magic box, she can't help but be seduced by its dark powers, and is thrilled as her life radically improves with each wish. Clare finally has the life she's always wanted and everything seems perfect - until the people closest to her begin dying in violent and elaborate ways after each wish.

Storyline

Trivia
The film is loosely based on W.W. Jacobs' short story The Monkey's Paw (1948).

Goofs
When Clare goes to chase the intruder the second time, her father comes out with the beard that he had shaved off in the scene prior, though it seems at least 3 days have passed since Ryan's conversation with her in hallway and the next time we see him, the beard is back again at the tire change.

Quotes
Ryan Hui: Hold up, you dig on multiverses?

Crazy credits
Mid-way through the credits, Ryan goes to bury the box. When he takes it out of his backpack to put into the ground, he looks it over and says to himself "7 wishes?" possibly hinting at a potential sequel.

Alternate versions
The director's Unrated Version is one minute longer than the Theatrical Cut, it has more gore and it is only available on the American Blu-ray.

Mixed feelings, but still worth seeing

This movie has it's ups and it's downs. There were some really great suspense scenes, while others where painfully obvious. I feel like they should've spend just a little bit more time on it, to work out the kinks.

Overall I would still recommend you to see it and don't give up on it too soon. There is some really great stuff in there. It's been a while since a movie genuinely had me on the edge of my seat, which completely made up for the bad parts.
