Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

GL84 After having fun with an Ouija board during a party, a group of friends find themselves forced to deal with a girlfriends' growing attachment to a spirit summoned during the even who's sudden increase in violence threatens the whole group.While this wasn't altogether terrible, this one here is a moderate entry with enough good points to make it watchable. One of the biggest pluses here is there's some pretty good moments here-and-there which are quite exciting and enjoyable at managing to make the most out of the plot here with the simple fact that this one has a slight change of pace over most other Quija board-sprung films in that the demonic spirit being raised isn't in human form but remains visible throughout the film. There isn't a manifestation until late in the film, and most of the time is just reserved for the film being much more discreet about showing of the demonic entity which is always around here. The opening séance scene is pretty nice, with the throwing of objects and breaking of furniture to keep it interesting, while there's also the different hauntings that occur with the group in the house which are pretty nice and get a couple freaky moments with the freaky banging noises and startlingly helpful passes. These go great with a later scene where the spirit attacks in a shower, and the searching scene in the graveyard adds some creepiness to the film. While there's some really nice gore scenes in here from the few kills, there is a couple of big flaws in here that do manage to strike this one down. One of the biggest detrimental mistakes is that too many of its scare scenes are staged during broad daylight. There are at least two scenes in this film that squander away so much potential because of this. The construction site accident is the first big indicator of something going on after their game and it really could've used the extra suspense those elements provide to a scene. The other big one is the dock scene near the climax, which is probably hurt the most since the whole thing has a demonic twist to it that only would've been highlighted more through the use of it taking place at night. There isn't a high body count either since The spirit only goes after a couple of outside individuals rather than going after the ones that are there to provide a kill count, as there's plenty in here that could've been bumped off to provide more kills here, and it only uses a couple of those to a rather negative impact. It really could've used a couple more to make this feel even bigger and scarier. The last big flaw is that there's way too much down-time in here, making it feel really dull at times. The haunting incidents really should've been closer together or at the very least shortened the film a tad so that it wouldn't feel like it takes forever to get to the next haunting as it spends so much time with her fiddling with the board that it takes forever to actually get anywhere. This wouldn't have been so had the ridiculous amount of false and jump-scares been trimmed out of here completely, as the reliance of building up to some potential scare or stalking scene only to have it turn out to be one of the friends standing there behind them being something that can get annoying as well. This one here doesn't have too many, but the film is lowered by these problems. Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and Brief Nudity.

Dave from Ottawa In addition to being a fun 80s time capsule (the rock video hair is a real treat), this movie is actually fairly decent on a technical level. There is only a little gore, not much in the way of special effects and a few too many false frights built around the main character showing up suddenly behind people (it gets tired and almost jokey the third time and up), so on a shock-and-awe level it's a bit lightweight. But the Ouija board sequences are tightly directed and fairly gripping, and that's the pay-off to the movie. The character drama is pretty dull filler but using the camera to anticipate and foreshadow action in the 80s fashion still works, and generates pretty decent suspense. Not a great B-movie (more like a C+), but an okay time waster. Tawny Kitaen has a little nudity here, but if that's your quest, The Perils of Gwendoline is preferable, and at least as entertaining.

Boba_Fett1138 This is a movie that definitely had some potential, since it featured a good and interesting enough horror concept but this gets ruined by its unimaginative story and approach by its film-makers.This is a movie with a story that would had worked out great as a supernatural thriller but it instead picks a more easy and common horror approach. It's really made like a typical horror flick, while its story called for a more subtle approach. This really goes at the expenses of all of the tension and build up of things. Instead now we have a movie that is lacking in good horror and in which besides far too little is happening.It really isn't until half way through that things really start to kick in. But just when you thought the movie was getting good and interesting again, it gets ruined by its final 30 minutes, which aren't really in tone with the rest of the movie and it ends things quite abruptly as well, which is so disappointing. In fact, the ending was just plain bad and even made me laugh at how clumsily it all got done and was looking.This movie is really some wasted potential.5/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

lastliberal The suspense never stopped in this film. I sat the whole time on the edge of my seat wondering just what was going to happen next.Two guys, Jim (Todd Allen) and Brandon (Stephen Nichols) were lifelong friends. Did they have a falling out over Linda (Tawny Kitaen)? They seem to hate each other now, and you always had it in the back of your mind that this had something to do with what was going on.Was there really some evil spirit trying to get out, or was it simply evil in the form of jealousy and hate. The fact that a police detective (Burke Byrnes) was always hanging around added to the suspense.There isn't a lot of gore in the film; it was just eerie suspense that rose to a climax that was really great.As an added bonus we got to see a whole lot of Ms. Kitaen as she was attacked in the shower. Yum.
