Joey King Explains Why 'Wish Upon' Isn't Your 'Typical Horror Movie'

Joey King is spilling on her new movie Wish Upon!

The actress looked pretty in plaid while attending a special fan screening of the film on on Monday (July 10) at AMC Empire 42nd Street in New York City.

She snapped this fun pic with her co-star Mitchell Slaggert.

They were also joined by their other co-star Ryan Phillippe.

Wish Upon tells the story of a teenage girl who discovers a box that carries magic powers and a deadly price for using them.

“It’s such a good story,” Joey told ComingSoon.net. “I like to call it more of a psychological thriller than a total horror movie. I think it’s very layered and it’s very emotional and you get really attached to the characters, more than you do in a typical horror movie.”

Find out what Joey and Ryan‘s favorite thing to do between takes was below, and don’t miss Wish Upon when it hits theaters on July 14!
