The Final Wish (2018) is currently streaming for free on Hulu. The story centers on a struggling lawyer who returns to his small hometown after the death of his father. However, things take a dark turn when his father's ashes are placed in an urn haunted by a malevolent jinn. What drew me to this movie was its excellent cast, featuring Lin Shaye (Insidious), Tony Todd (Candyman), Michael Welch (Twilight), and Melissa Bolona (Acts of Violence).
The plot unravels nicely, and the eerie atmosphere is well-executed. The film leans more toward creating a creepy, unsettling mood rather than relying on outright scares. The way the subplots connect is satisfying, and Lin Shaye's performance is a standout, making the film worth watching just for her portrayal. While this isn't a "great" movie, it's enjoyable enough for a single viewing.
I'd rate it 5/10.
