When I watched promotional trailers and posters, I thought this film was great ... I have got to say, even though the ending wasn't satisfying or if the plot was rather incorrect or messy, the film, throughout, kept my attention span and deeply engraved my soul in the film. Its dark atmosphere, stunning acting and its chilling thrills or jump scares create a very suspenseful movie. Many of you however claim that this film isn't 'scary enough', 'boring' or 'too repetitive'. I do have to agree with you except for the 'boring' part. The easy guessed 'ending' however was very disappointing but however, after the film finished, I smiled because it was a great film!

Blech. I should know better. Almost every time I was a ghost movie it winds up making me roll my eyes. This one is no exception. The only damn ghost movie I've ever enjoyed was Insidious. The Conjuring was okay as was Annabelle. Just okay though. I can't even give this movie an okay. I wanted to like it. As soon as I saw one of the ghosts (the young girl with the sewed up mouth)I knew I was not going to like it. The acting is fine, the script and delivery are fine. It's the story thats dumb. Ghost movies are hard to make with new ideas, I get that. Honestly I can't even say what it is about this movie I disliked. It just didn't do it for me. I recently saw The Ouija Experience. The one I liked more than this one. Maybe thats whats wrong. Two movies too alike. Kinda. Sorry guys. I gave 3 stars only because I love Lin Shaye.

Following the sudden death of her best friend, Debbie, Laine finds an antique Ouija board in Debbie's room and tries to use it to say goodbye. Instead, she makes contact with a spirit that calls itself DZ. As strange events begin to occur, Laine enlists others to help her determine DZ's identity and what it wants. As the friends delve deeper, they find that Debbie's mysterious death was not unique, and that they will suffer the same fate unless they learn how to close the portal they've opened.

This is literally "horror cliches" the movie. Besides having teens die because they are having sex, which seems to have stopped being a thing in the 80s, this movie has all the boring and not scary bs we've all seen as thousand times! Zzzzz

Ouija was very average and run-of-the-mill for a scary movie. It offered nothing new or innovative to set itself apart from other scary movies. Even the concept of a ouija board is not that inventive. I put it right up there with saying "Bloody Mary" in the mirror, holding séances, or other known activities that draw out spirits. I think somebody got a hold of "Making Scary Movies for Dummies" and rolled out a film. Even the supposed twist in the movie was generic. And I will allow you to take a guess at the ending. You know, the ending when everyone relaxes because the whole matter is resolved? Yeah, that ending. Just really unimaginative.

Colour by numbers horror that executes the usual tricks and special effects OK. The first killing had the interesting sight of a string of Christmas lights dragging across the floor. The second was quite effective, but otherwise not much imagination on show. I can't believe they made the ouija game the plot driver but failed to come up with a fresh angle on the standard sit-around-the-table session. In the final act I think the editing got messed up - you turn up late in a scene and leave early, but the scenes in the basement lacked basic set up so we were just plonked into situations we had to adjust to even while the crucial action was going on. The twist was fine, but like everything else it was a bit flat. I mean, another face-behind-closing-door jump scare ... really? Overall it has good pace - just lacks passion and imagination. ps. do people still use string floss rather than floss picks?
