10 Horror Movie Wishes That Went HORRIBLY Wrong

2. The Room

Wish Upon
Volga

Not Tommy Wiseau's cult classic. This one is from 2019 and stars Olga Kurylenko as Kate, who along with her husband Matt moves into a new home where the discover a room that grants them unimaginable riches.

Kate grows bored of her new found wealth, realising that none of it has any real value. But there is something she really wants. After two miscarriages, Kate desperately wants to be a mother.

With scant regard for the possible consequences, Kate wishes for a baby.

Upon leaving the house the cash in Matt's pocket, granted by the room, has turned to dust. He soon realises that anything granted by the room can never leave the room. You see where this is going.

Kate leaves to take the baby for a walk only to watch her new born son age before her eyes into a young child. Here's where it gets gross. Matt and Kate's son, Shane, realises the power of the room and goes outside to age himself into a man.

He attempts to murder his parents and rape his own mother. Yep. The couple are forced to kill their own child by locking him out of the house until he crumbles to dust. The sting in the tail at the end is that Kate is pregnant with no idea whether the child is Matt's or Shane's.
