Wish Ruiner

A Twisted Tale of Desire and Despair
Brought to life by a passionate team of Edinburgh filmmakers, Wishruiner is an audacious cinematic experiment crafted with unrelenting creativity and boundless ambition. Devised, scripted, filmed, and edited in record time, this darkly compelling tale takes you into the shadowy corners of human nature. Meet Samuel, a man whose sole purpose is to destroy the dreams of others. His twisted mission? To find people on the brink of making a wish, and cruelly sabotage their hopes at the last moment. Whether it's snuffing out candles mid-breath or kicking pennies into drains, Samuel thrives on the misery he leaves in his wake.

But wishes are powerful things, and some come with consequences far beyond Samuel’s reckoning. As his meddling reaches new extremes, a cruel twist in fate brings him face to face with the one wish he never saw coming—one that could change everything. With its rich Edinburgh backdrop, razor-sharp wit, and an ending that will leave audiences breathless, Wishruiner is a provocative blend of dark humor and poignant tragedy. Prepare for a journey where every wish carries a price and no one escapes unscathed.

Be careful what you wish for… because Samuel is watching.
