belongings, he stumbles upon an urn which is far more than it
seems.
Coming to movie theaters nationwide for one night on
January 24, "The Final Wish"
event will include a special introduction by Lin Shaye along with a pre-taped Q&A
from Screamfest Horror Film Festival with actors Lin Shaye (Insidious, The Grudge),
Michael Welch (The
Twilight Saga), Tony Todd
(Candyman, Final Destination) and Melissa Bolona (The Hurricane Heist),
director Timothy Woodward Jr.
(Hickok, Gangster Land) and Final Destination creator
Jeffrey
Reddick.

"The Final Wish" follows Aaron (Welch), a consummate under achiever, who
returns home to his devastated mother (Shaye) following the passing
of his father. Among his father's antiques he comes across an
urn hiding a dark secret. As his every wish begins coming
true, Aaron starts to believe there is something sinister behind
his good fortune and the price of his desire might just be his
soul.
"There are so many horror stories that have ingrained themselves
into the psyche of society," says Woodward Jr. "For me growing up
Final Destination was one of those stories and to work with
the creator of those films so closely was a dream come true. The
cast members also fully committed to their characters which helped
us tell a story we hope is both fresh and frightening."
"The Final Wish" is based on a story by Final
Destination creator Jeffrey
Reddick with screenplay by Jeffrey Reddick, Jonathan Doyle & William Halfon. Directed by Timothy Woodward Jr., The Final
Wish was produced by Timothy Woodward
Jr., Lauren de Normandie, Johnny Cleveland, Jeffrey Reddick and Thommy Huston. Executive Producers include
Matthew Helderman,
Luke Taylor, Joe Listhaus, Patrick DePeters, Arthur Wylie and Dale Godboldo.

Nutt. "Audiences will be on the edge of their seats
alongside fellow fear fanatics at their local cinema on
