Film Overview

Writer/director Nicholas Tomnay (“The Perfect Host”) continues to viciously satirize the upper class in this bloody good thriller set in Latin America, as a debt-ridden chef, played by Nick Stahl (“The Man Without a Face”), takes over his missing friend’s catering gig for a group of wealthy clientele, only to get way more than he bargained for.When Ryan (Nick Stahl) flies down to visit Jack, his old roommate from culinary school in Latin America, he can’t help but compare how drastically different their lives are. While Ryan is experiencing a financial downfall, suffering from a gambling addiction, Jack has an incredible gig as a chef who gets paid to travel the world to prepare private dinner events for wealthy clients. But not everything is what it appears to be on the surface. Previously envious of Jack’s lavish lifestyle, after an unexpected and devastating twist of fate, Ryan soon finds himself face-to-face with the old saying, “be careful what you wish for.” A riveting horror thriller that will keep you on your toes, WHAT YOU WISH FOR is not for the faint of heart. —G.S.
