Movie Info

In the tradition of Friday the 13th and other classic horror films, Make A Wish tells the story of a group of women who get together once again for an annual birthday camping trip. The common denominator in this group of gay and straight girls is Susan - all of the campers are exes of hers. All except Andrea, who is Monica's new girlfriend, and not very pleased to be dragged along on this ridiculous outing. Linda, now straight, left her boyfriend Steve pouting at home, annoyed that she wanted to

Manages to be insulting both to slasher movies and lesbians. Where's the gay rights movement when you need it?

Ms. Ferranti's direction is meandering and pedestrian, without a hint of personal style, and Ms. Johnson's script is riddled with implausibilities (no one seems too concerned when the members of the group start vanishing) and redundant scenes.

With its lukewarm gender politicking and clumsy performances, Make a Wish achieves only one real distinction: It has to be the dullest lesbian campout movie ever made.

just isn't made with enough skill -- or apparently much care at all -- to justify sitting through the whole thing

something akin to "Friday the 13th, presented by the Lifetime channel." . . . left me wishing something interesting would happen.

Although the story is as predictable as can be ... the performances are better than those in most super-low budget horror pictures, and Jessica Gallant's super-16mm cinematography is surprisingly handsome.

Audience Reviews for Make a Wish

My wish is that I had never watched this movie. This has got to be one of the implausible, ridiculous, stereotypical, idiotic movies ever created, even in the independent genre. I actually spent more than 30 minutes searching for a site to review this, just because it is so awful, and I won't be able to sleep tonight if I don't do my part to warn others about it. The only good thing I can say about this is that it did not resort to the lesbian: bad, man: good lesson, which is where I thought it was headed. But other than that, the acting is the only thing that warrants the "horror" title. The characters are all one-dimensional, the plot is completely unbelievable logistically, the cinematography is mostly just amateur but at one point (the crossbow hunting scene) it is actually hilarious in a "shoot the ducks at the midway at the carnival" kind of way. The trajectories of this particular killing making the JFK assassination look straightforward. ... It's just a bad, bad movie-and not in a good way. You will WISH for that 1 hour and 38 minutes back-plucking out your nose hairs one by one with a pair of tweezers is a better use of your time.

This is a very low budget horror film, but it's quite watchable. It has the usual cliche's but it's all done with a twist. The acting is fair. I've seen a lot of horror films that are worse.
