Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

r-b-amin First of all, I would begin by saying that IMDb ratings & reviews are so unreliable that I decided not to watch/reject a movie anymore because of some stupid ratings and reviews. This movie actually gives you that general message of how dealing with an Ouija board foolishly could ruin your life. Nevertheless, it's all about the direction of a horror movie which makes it different and appealing and this one is quite remarkable. Ouija (2014) is a much better horror than Ouija: the origin of evil (2016) which you would find to have got a rating of 6, whereas you would see only 4.5 for Ouija (2014). A lot of people criticized it to be a children's movie (just because playing with the Ouija Board doesn't make it so) or did not quite like the young girls and boys involved with the Ouija board activities here. However, it would be ridiculous to see a bunch of old people dealing with an Ouija board, isn't it? It's very natural to see a group of young would fall for this trap and by mistake could bring something satanic/demonic. You could also find Lin Shaye (who played the role of Elise Rainier in the Insidious series) in this movie who perfectly fits into this kind of horror climax which Ouija delivered. I have no idea how trash movies like Triangle (2009) or average horror with absolutely zero scary scenes such as The Witch (2015) got such high ratings and positive reviews whereas for Ouija (2014), the case is not so. It has the ability to scare you quite a few number of times which you would appreciate while watching a horror. Pure and simple. We don't always like to watch a complicated horror movie which ends in such a way that we have to go to Google and find out the explanations of the stories and their endings so that the spent time would be worth watching it. Why so much effort to understand a movie! Non-sense! I would say, if you really love horror which could easily happen to your day-to-day lives or you love to get scared a few number of times and especially love an excellent climax at the end then this movie is worth-watching. Please ignore the stupid ratings & reviews of a horror movie here on IMDb and watch the trailer by yourself, if it seems convincing, then make your own decision rather than going for reviews of some immature young generation who have only learnt watching horror movies for a few years.

Filipe Neto The Ouija board is probably one of the most mysterious instruments of spiritualism, and its ease of acquisition makes it specially appealing to teenagers who likes the supernatural. I have never used it but some of my friends with a taste for these themes have used it or know it well enough to ensure that its not a good idea to use it. Here, in Portugal, its better known as "Jogo do Copo" (literally Game of the Glass, because the triangular pointer is often swapped for a glass cup that has to be broken after the game). Basically, my friends told me that any spirit or demon can answer the call and deceive the players, and the board is the source of several possessions or supernatural disturbances. I don't know if that's true, I'm telling what I've been told, but I will not pay to see if it's true or not. As the people use to say here, "prudent man has died old and suspicious man is still alive". But let's talk about the movie, that's what matters.The film begins with a good horror premise: an Ouija board that is at the origin of the mysterious death of a young woman. The problem is that the whole plot that develops later is of an awful predictability. In terms of scares, the film also fails roundly. Neither the usual sound and visual tricks were able to make me jump from the seat because I was able to foresee them. The tension, usually compulsory in a horror film, is so absent that it can make us fall asleep. The characters are empty, devoid of personality or some feature that makes us like them, and that makes it indifferent whether they live or die. Some are truly stupid and we just don't care about them. The cast is composed of actors with no talent or experience, who deliver wooden performances, unrealistic and without remarkable merit. Finally, its necessary to talk about CGI, visual and sound effects: although the movie is visually regular, the computer effects are very boring and low, probably because of the low budget.

caseynicholson So, I first saw "Ouija: Origin of Evil" (2016) in the theater when it came out, and I thought it was fantastic--I gave it 9/10 stars. And so, of course, I decided to go and watch the first film in the series, simply titled, "Ouija". I did so despite my having been warned by a couple of friends that it was a pretty bad movie. But, come on, how bad could it really be??? "Origin of Evil" is AWESOME....so the first one must be pretty good, right?Wrong. This movie is terrible. TERRIBLE.About the only thing I can say for the movie is that it does more or less follow the storyline of the prequel (although there are some glitches there, too), and as such it was marginally fun to find out how the story ends, so to speak.But, man, this movie just downright sucks all the way around. The plot is bad, the acting...is...OK, but nothing to write home about. The story is not developed at all, and it's like they just threw together a few general concepts and tossed it into a movie.All that said, it really is like they made the terrible sequel first, after the hit horror movie. The 2016 prequel is leaps and bounds better than this movie. But this movie itself is weak as can be. 2/10 stars....a rating I have hardly ever given before. This one's bad folks. Real bad.

supermaggie I truly enjoyed this little horror flick. It's not a huge production and if you need to get scared out of your socks or see blood running in streams to be entertained then you probably won't be right here, but I liked that it had just the right dose of horror and - even more important - it had a real good story, the right portion of scavenger hunt a horror flick needs, with secrets to solve, unexpected turns and - yes - it was pretty logical for a fantasy film! The only thing that I was wondering is how a ghost from the 40ies comes to know how to operate a computer ;-). And I did not like the clichéd ending (I cannot imagine them forgetting to burn this piece and if they did burn it, how come it is back??). But then again: the movie has Shelley Hennig and Olivia Cooke - so what more can you want? Turn the TV on and enjoy!!
