“What You Wish For” is a thriller film about a hapless chef assuming the identity of an old friend who is a private chef for wealthy employers in a remote mansion in an unnamed Spanish-speaking country. As the macabre situation becomes clear, he desperately tries to find a way out. Director-screenwriter Nicholas Tomnay put together a movie that is surprisingly evenly suspenseful from beginning to end, in the tradition of Alfred Hitchcock. Tomnay also does not resort to cheap tricks of gratuitous violence or sex.
The talented cast includes Nick Stahl, Tamsin Topolski, Randy Vasquez, Penelope Mitchell, Brian Groh, and Juan Carlos Messier. The very watchable “What You Wish For” was released primarily on digital streaming with very limited theatrical release from producer Nicholas Tomnay, Evergreen Avenue, Jaguar Bite Productions, Freestyle Picture Company, and Magnet Releasing.
