10 MORE Horror Movie Wishes That Went Horribly Wrong

The terrific, genre-bending crime-fantasy-horror film Tigers Are Not Afraid centers around a young Mexican girl, Estrella (Paola Lara), who is given three pieces of chalk, each of which will grant her one wish.

Unfortunately, though, not one of the wishes turns out how poor Estrella intends.

First off, Estrella wishes for her disappeared mother (Viviana Amaya) - implied to be a victim of cartel violence - to return, yet she only comes back as a ghost.

For her second wish, after being tasked with killing cartel member Caco (Ianis Guerrero), she sneaks into his apartment with a gun and wishes that she doesn't have to kill him. In an instant, Caco dies suddenly of his own accord without Caco needing to do the deed.

And finally, street orphan Shine (Juan Ramón López) asks Estrella to use her third wish to remove the burn scars on his face.

Though she initially refuses after the negative outcomes of both prior wishes, she eventually relents at film's end, at which point crime boss Chino (Tenoch Huerta) suddenly shows up and shoots Shine in the face, killing him.

Yeah, after the first two wishes went so horribly awry, it was probably time to quit, right?
