What is The One Wish Willow?

Introducing The One Wish Willow - the mysterious wish-granting magical device at the center of the film, which puts a chilling new spin on the classic monkey’s paw tale.

Fans have flocked to claim their own One Wish Willows, following the release of an in-world commercial.
