A group of friends must confront their most terrifying fears when they awaken the dark powers of an ancient spirit board. Olivia Cooke is a pretty good actress plus she also deserved better than this movie. I've only seen the prequel until today of course and all the things i have heard regarding this movie? were true. It was silly, the whole haunting thing and the ghost were just stupid and not scary for sure either. The characters were pretty dumb and the way just from the film's opening i knew we were in big and pretty deep trouble for sure i guess. (0/10)

Ouija is a horror film that starts out decently but ultimately has very little merit apart from some pleasant camera work and a few reasonable effects. But, you expect more suspense and creepy ambiance from a ghost film, and Ouija just becomes another predictable vengeful spirit affair (with a bit of Final Destination chucked in for good measure - just without the invention and imagination of those movies), and a turgid one at that. As such, the pacing is slow, and the feeling evoked in the viewer is apt for a movie about the dead as it is totally lifeless. In the final analysis then, Ouija is a dull film and should be retitled Nonnein.

The most amazing thing about this movie is that one of the production companies is the toy company Hasbro, who manufactures the Ouija board. I find it funny and interesting that they use the movie to push their product... something that will contact the dead and will probably cause your gruesome death.This is an enjoyable, though a pretty basic, horror movie. Best friends, Laine and Debbie, play with the Ouija as children obeying the rules that they should be courteous and never play alone. Years later, Debbie uses the board by herself and strange things start to happen, which results in her growing distant from her friends and boyfriend. Using the ouija in solitary leads to her violent death.Laine agrees to house sit for Debbies distraught parents after the funeral as they need to get away. She realises the board had a part to play in her friend's death so rallies the others to help here prove the idea. Of course, this is a bad idea and the spirit they contact starts to plague them in their lives. From here on in, it's a race to save themselves and to solve the mystery of the origin of the board.There's nothing really new in this film that hasn't been covered before. The acting of the entire cast is above average and makes the film enjoyable to watch, as is the direction from Stiles White, who co-wrote the story with Juliet Snowden. Since this is a Blumhouse production there's a cameo from Lin Shaye, who, as always is good in her role (though I will always remember her as the landlady in Kingpin).This is one of those films that's worth watching if it comes onto telly and there's nothing better on. At least worth watching once, though I don't think I'll watch it again... though I will watch the sequel when it's on or if I can borrow it from friends.

Ouija is a movie based on a board game. The plot revolves around a group of teens whose friend Debbie commits suicide and Laine, her best friend thinks that Ouija board was the cause. They use it to contact Debbie, but they end up contacting something else...The plot is pretty generic and when you think about it, it's kinda like the plot of The Ring, just put Ouija board instead of a cursed video tape. It started out okay with actually nicely done opening (which is sadly the only decent part of the movie) and it looked like it was aiming to build some characters, but when the actual plot starts, it all fails miserably. A lot of false scares, that may only make you jump by the sudden loud booming noise you always see in jump-scares, if that. Then when they try to do actual scares, it's just so clichéd, so generic and uninteresting. The acting isn't completely bad, at least not by the lead, Olivia Cooke, who is a pretty good actress especially when you see Bates Motel. The plot is lazy just as the writing itself and then there is a lame plot twist near the end that doesn't really make much sense.At first I looked at it as no more than innocent entertainment, but as it went on, I just couldn't help but notice all the flaws this movie had. Hope the second one is better, because I don't recommend this.
