The name can either be pronounced 'wee-ja' or 'wee-gee'. Charles Kennard, founder of the company manufacturing the boards, claimed he learned the name "Ouija" from asking the board what it wanted to be called.

Far from being ancient, the Ouija Board was patented on May 28, 1890.

Hasbro Studios first horror film.

According to costume designer Mary Jane Fort, the cast and crew would often take breaks between shooting and use the Ouija board to jokingly predict the box office opening weekend numbers.

The film's tagline, "Keep telling yourself it's just a game," was used for several years as the advertising slogan for the Ouija board game.

Though there are many other horror movies about Ouija boards - some with the same title - this film is not officially a remake of any of them and tells its own story revolving around the titular game.

When re-shoots went underway, in the process of drastically changing Doris Zander's backstory, two new characters were created including her sister and mother. Lin Shaye, who plays Paulina Zander, was not in the original version of the film and was cast for the re-shot footage.

The location where Laine goes to visit Paulina Zander is also known as Eichen House in MTV's hit TV show, Teen Wolf (2011), where Shelley Hennig, who plays Debbie, stars as Malia Tate/Hale.

None of the actors portraying teenagers in the film were actually in their teens. The youngest actor was Olivia Cooke who was 21 at the time of filming.

Although this is the first film theatrically released starring Shelley Hennig, she filmed this after completing her work on Unfriended (2014) which was previously released as Cybernatural making it her proper film debut (technically). It would be theatrically released about 6 months after the release of this film.

In the original unaltered version of the film, Doris Zander had a much different look to her. In the original cut she took the appearance of a young girl with half of her face burnt while always carrying a doll. The re-shoots version is a rotting girl with sewn lips.

Some cast members are said to have experienced supernatural occurences since the production of the film Ouija ended. It is said to be influenced by the making of the film.

Erin Moriarty was cast in the film in an undisclosed role though she does not appear in the finished project. Her scenes were deleted when the film was reshot.

Another theory of where the name of the Ouija Board comes from is that it is the French and German for "Yes": Oui-ja. The Board has Yes and No answers as well as the alphabet.

Film debut of actors Ana Coto, Darren Kagasoff, Bianca A. Santos, and (technically) Shelley Hennig.

Directorial debut of Stiles White.

Although Sarah Morris is supposed to be Laine's younger sister in the film, in real-life the actress Ana Coto is actually 3 years older than Olivia Cooke, who plays Laine.

McG was attached to direct early on

Juliet Snowden was previously attached to co-direct.

Marks the second horror film Douglas Smith appears in during 2014. The other being Stagefright. Both films were released in 2014, with Stagefright being released on VOD prior to Ouija's theatrical release, making Ouija his first theatrically released horror film.

The first trailer for the film was released with the theatrical release of The Fault in our Stars (2014) containing alternate footage. A new trailer was released in the summer containing new scenes. In an interview, Olivia Cooke stated that about 50% of the film was reshot due to a negative reaction from test audiences, as a result Universal ordered a week's worth of re-shoots during the summer 4 months before its theatrical release which drastically altered the original plot. The original cut contained a different assortment of footage including an alternate death scene for Debbie where she instead falls to her death instead of hanging herself (which is why the chandelier is swinging when Pete sees it because she struck it while falling) along with the most advertised scene where Sarah's eyes roll back and she says "it's not even real okay? It's just a game". Nona was also supposed to have a more prominent role in the film as it implied she becomes possessed in the promotional material.

Body Count: 4 - Trevor, Isabelle, Pete, and Debbie Galardi. 6 if you include Doris Zander and her mother.

In the original version, Doris was to appear as a young girl with half of her face burnt while always carrying a doll. When Laine enters the attic, she discovers a doll with a half-burnt face; a nod to the original script.

This movie never had a chance of being good. It's a modern horror movie based on a board game - was anyone optimistic about this? Anyway, it still could have been campy fun; after all, it is about a board game. But it's not fun. It's boring as hell. Everything about this movie fails on so many different levels. The writing is horrendous and doesn't even make sense, literally, the plot holes are glaring. The acting is excruciatingly boring; it's like they wanted to blurt out their lines with no emotion whatsoever to get the production of this terrible movie over with as quickly as possible. The directing is abysmal - scares anyone? Nope, not a one. They try to throw in fake out jump scares every once in a while but they make you laugh more than anything at how pathetically unscary they are. The entire movie is pathetic really.

What saves Ouija from the dreaded 1 rating is the fact that it isn't a remake or rehash. They actually tried to make something original, with the premise at least - the execution is as generic and awful as you can imagine. So there, an extra point for Ouija, congratulations. If you look at it as a comedy you can get a few laughs out of it, but that's only because Ouija is so blatantly horrendous that it embodies everything wrong with the horror genre these days. If you're looking for authentic scares and genuine thrills, then stay as far away from Ouija as you possibly can.

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.

Horror is one of those genres that creates such voting and reviewing hostility on internet sites. You can guarantee that no matter what new horror film comes out it will garner posts on the likes of IMDb as being "the worst horror film I have ever seen". That is until the next big release, where we will go around the houses again...

Ouija is just a standard boo-jump horror picture with a standard story line. Any expectation of any thing more would have (will do) led (lead) to great disappointment. It's one of those horror films that asks you to turn off the lights and just enjoy the quick spooky ride, then you get off the ride and quickly move on to something else. It's neither "the worst horror film of all time" or anything remotely original. It's Boo-Jump horror 101, so buy into that or leave it well alone. 6/10

"Ouija" has a pretty cool and creepy story to work with, an old spirit board discovered in the attack, suicides and haunting, a creepy legend that connects the board to the house of the suicide girl, it is all perfect horror subject matter. Unfortunately there is something missing from "Ouija" that makes it more spectacle than horror. The scenes build nicely through suspense, shadowy, eerie atmosphere, and great sound effects, but the end result falls flat. The big scares aren't really scary.

The cast give well enough performances of these haunted characters. The direction and cinematography are equally stellar. You can tell money was well spend in production, "Ouija" has all the right components to be a real good horror film, unfortunately it all stays pretty PG. The horror seems almost pulled back into safer zones when they should have took that thrilling momentum and gone for some major scares. Not sure why they chose to keep things subdued. I mean really for what "Ouija" is it is a nice, creepy Halloween horror film based on an occult staple-the spirit board. And there are a few scare-ish moments that use the sudden shock gimmick to get a jump out of the movie-goer but still this film is far less exciting than say "Insidious" or "The Conjuring".

This movie was by no means a cinematic masterpiece, however can you really expect something of such high quality when the entire premise is based around a Ouija board that wreaks havoc upon a group of close friends.

Watching this film, my desire to watch a somewhat corny and predictable horror/thriller was achieved with ease. As someone who has been warned time and time again about the dangers of using supernatural means to attempt to contact the dead, I found this movie to be highly entertaining in a cheap-thrills kind of way.

If you are looking for a simple, cliché supernatural themed movie to watch with close friends for a movie night, I'd definitely recommend. This movie is neither terribly unbearable nor disgustingly gory, and as such I feel is relatively inoffensive to those who enjoy these themes in their movies.

After the death of her best friend Debbie (Shelley Hennig) that committed suicide, Laine (Olivia Cooke) brings her sister Sarah (Ana Coto) and convinces her friends Trevor (Daren Kagasoff), Isabelle (Bianca Santos) and Pete (Douglas Smith) to perform a séance using a Ouija board. However they unleash evil spirits that threat them.

"Ouija" is unoriginal movie even in the title since there are many "Ouija" movies. I do not recall how many movies that I have seen with the same storyline, where a group of teens or even adults that use a Ouija board or a séance to accidentally awake evil spirits. The story is boring, the acting of Olivia Cooke is weak for a lead actress and the screenplay does not help. The plot point of this forgettable movie does not have anything special. My vote is four.

Title (Brazil): "Ouija: O Jogo dos Espíritos" ("Ouija: The Game of the Spirits")

I have seen a ton of Horror movies cause Horror is my favorite Genre. Seeing the commercials for this movie, I had to watch it. It seemed scary, and with the Ouija Board, it seemed down-right horrifying. So when it came out on DVD, I went and bought it. Big mistake. The acting was just horrible and lifeless, the plot had so many holes in it which raised more questions than answers. There was a series of movies that centered around a Ouija Board called Witchboard which spawned 2 sequels, great movie, so I thought that this movie was going to be just as good as the Witchboard movies, but I was wrong, it was the complete opposite. I am a trooper when it comes to movies, even bad movies, so I watched all of the way through, or shall I say that I have survived the movie cause it was just so, so boring. If you want to see a horror movie about an Ouija Board, watch Witchboard 1-3. Those are good Horror movies.

This is actually pretty entertaining, okay it wasn't that scary, just a little scary, they're some jump scares here and there, but some the suspense in this movie is pretty good, now I will admit the premise of this movie was pretty stupid, but what do you expect, the movie has a stupid title and a stupid premise, which is about some average teens play a board game known as Ouija, if you remember the Ouija game, you know how to play it, and know the plot, if you don't know I'll tell you plot. After a girl Debbie died, her friends found the board game Ouija, and they start to play it, once they played it, something goes wrong, the game starts to haunt them left and right, when they play or don't play the game, so they have to keep on playing to find the spirit, and put an end to it. For a movie with a dumb idea, I have to admit, it's pretty entertaining, but I have to admit the twist is a little confusing, but the film still gets entertaining to the end. Overall this film is pretty good, it's not great, but it's still good to watch, would I recommend to you guys, yes for people that don't take stupid movies too seriously, you probably enjoy it, like I did, because I didn't take it too seriously, if you did, you may not like it, because it's met to be stupid, so it was so stupid that it was entertaining to watch.

Okay...so. Normally when you see a PG-13 horror movie come out, it's either going to totally suck, or rock. This movie was actually, in the middle. It did not suck and it did not rock. *It was basically a mixture of Insidious and Final Destination.* The scares in the movie were typically those corny jump-scares, but I have to say, they weren't bad. (Or really that good, either.) The thing about PG-13 horror movies is that they aren't really that scary at all. This movie was alright, I wouldn't say scary, but it would be enough to scare a little kid because of the loud noises and scary images. The story is okay. It kind of gets better and worse and better and worse. In the beginning, the story is declining, getting worse and worse, because of all the cliché and disappointing climaxes. Then, it sort of gets better... and then back down to really bad. Then, in the second half of the movie, it starts to get really, really, intense and actually good. When you think it's over, it isn't. But when it is over, you wouldn't think that was the end. The acting was.. okay? In the beginning the acting totally STANK! I mean, it was really fake. But it got better and better as the movie progressed. The main character, Laine (Olivia Cooke) did an okay job of acting. She was the type in the movie that was sort of dumb, but in the end turned out to be a bit clever. All the things in the movie that happen are mostly things that you'd expect to happen. The special effects really were disappointing, when the monster/entity (not revealing any more than that) is shown, WOW are the effects SO FAKE.

Lastly, don't let reviews change your mind about a movie. They are simply opinions. Just because this movie has under average ratings doesn't mean that you will automatically think this movie will and always will stink. Don't always look at the negative sides of a movie. :) And also, be careful. On my trip for watching this movie, there was a young delinquent cracking jokes to his "encouraging" friends, disrupting the full experience, so I may have missed some good parts of the movie.

Regarding the movie itself: it was really bad. I expected more from the lead (she's on one of my favorite shows, Bates Motel), it was all jump scares, there wasn't any buildup, and it's predictability was unparalleled. If you're looking for a scary Halloween movie, run as fast as you can. That being said, if you do plan to see this movie, do so with a large group of very reactive people. Preferably a packed theater. I saw this last night and I was cracking up a lot of the time after I screamed with the crowd and insulted the characters' idiocy. Not 'scary' in the slightest, but was one of the most enjoyable times at the theater I've had.

Jonariara

I'll give a very honest review- starting with the trailer. The trailer was pretty misleading based off the fact that certain things that happened in the trailer wasn't in the movie at all, which is kind of okay, since nothing really spoiled the movie. The beginning of the story was alright, and it didn't catch speed until near the middle to the end - where it got entertaining.

The story itself was decent, it's not deep (but what horror nowadays is, am I right?) Don't expect the story to be mind-blowing. I will say, I adore Olivia Cooke, who plays the lead in the movie, but she didn't meet my expectations in this movie...her acting was, for a lack of a better word, lacking.

IF you enjoy jump scares, this movie is definitely for you. Ouija has jump scares through out the movie, which made it a pretty entertaining watch.

Overall, decent movie, nice jump-scares, okay-acting, but too abrupt of an ending. The movie as a whole was not bad, but the ending was a little disappointing to me. It seemed to end pretty quickly; I wished it was dragged out a little bit longer.

Should you watch in theaters? Yes, if you are into the jump-scares. It's not the best movie, but it isn't the worst either. Besides that, wait to rent it.

Ouija had a lot of potential, but I personally thought that it could have been better if they tweaked the ending. There were several unresolved problems, and it's kind of weird that you barely see these kids' parents at all besides the beginning of the movie. Like, seriously, where are these kids' parents?

Erennge

I honestly don't know why this movie only has a 4.4 rating. Having looked at that before walking into the theater made me a little apprehensive about buying a ticket but boy was I in for a surprise. This movie keeps you scared the whole way through. Contains lots of creative jump scares and good plot twists. Lin Shaye is excellent as always especially in horror movies. The pace does not seem too slow or too fast and there aren't any long breaks between something scary happening. Having said that this movie does require a bit of imagination as most horror movies do but if you push reality aside for 90 minutes you will not be disappointed. In my opinion this is a well-written horror movie that is highly underrated. I would definitely watch it again.

ALAN

In recent times, never has a horror film centered entirely around the Ouija board game, and perhaps for good reason - it is a bit too foolish to be believable.

Ouija boards have been utilized in horror films countless times before, as a last ditch effort to communicate with a disturbed spirit on the other side when a medium led seance is out of the question. 2014's horror film Ouija instead puts the cause and focus of the strange disturbances directly upon the game itself.

After one of their friends inexplicably is found dead in a suspected suicide, a group of friends turn toward her Ouija board in a desperate attempt to find answers and closure. When it appears a communication channel has been opened with the dead things take a dark and unsettling turn.

Stiles White co-writes and directs this painfully formulaic film. What audiences should expect to get from Ouija is your classic 'strange occurrences, oh no people dying, let's investigate to uncover the truth to hopefully appease the spirits'. While formulas typically exist because on some level they do work, this one has been bludgeoned to boredom inducing death.

Typically if a film is going to be this standard then some sort of redeemable part of it must shine through, either through stellar characters portrayed by undiscovered gems or uniquely gruesome horror scenes. Ouija is a film that opens incredibly weakly, like a rough cut that should have been a reshoot. Once the group of friends, led by up-and-coming horror queen Olivia Cooke, make contact through the Ouija board the terrifying scenes considerably improve but never prove wow-worthy and still border on cliché.

The most substantial error in the entirety of the film is the overall serious tone. The teenage high school students are all a bit too earnest when it comes to using a Ouija board. Stiles and his co-screenplay writer Juliet Snowden just really have no idea how to write realistically for teen youths. There is no humor or sarcasm, no sass and no disbelief when one of the friends approaches the other to use the Ouija board.

Teens, even in the event that one kills him or herself, use humor as a coping mechanism. if one of my friends said 'we need to talk to ____ on the other side' I would laugh in his or her face from the ludicrous nature of the proposition.

Further everything that propels the story forward in Ouija is a bit far-fetched. Most of the teens are incredibly serious about dental hygiene, with several scenes featuring them flossing. The adults all must have minored in Paranormal Occurrences and How to Deal with It. Overall Ouija was not scary and the extenuating circumstances surrounding the plot were laughable at best.

If I Could give this a lower score than 1, I would. The concept is (particularly in recent years) terribly overdone. There was nothing substantial in this film to make it different or stand out from the rest of the horde of supernatural movies. It seems to be your run of the mill horror film trying to ride on the money train that "paranormal activity" and "the conjuring" created as the new horror standard. Maybe it's just that I expected a lot more from it; especially as it had such great advertising and publicity, however this was a snooze-fest start to end. Even the acting was flat and I cared nothing for any of the characters involved. I definitely have seen worse in terms of budget, concept, etc. but at least they had a certain quirk or charm to them that made them different. In short, it felt like I had already seen this film 1,000 times before. Unfortunately this one happened to be the most boring film I have ever had the displeasure of sitting through.

Stan

The movie uses a very well known plot of idiot teens contacting spirit way out of their control. The teens die in pretty horrible ways very fast. However it doesn't feel like the story moves fast because things continuously got worse, but it didn't drag out so long that I lost interest. This movie played on fears I have a lot (I.e sewing of the mouth) so I was freaked out when I almost never get scared of horror movies. If you walk in expecting this movie to revive the near dead horror genre, you may be disappointed, however with its creepy effects and nice plot twists, it does give the horror genre a pulse once more showing its a hard genre to kill. I enjoyed this movie because I didn't expect the world of it, and I didn't realize it was pg- 13 for the longest. It doesn't have to b rated R to be scary.

When her friend Debbie (Shelley Hennig) dies in what appears to be a suicide, Laine (Olivia Cooke) thinks there's more to her death and it may involve the Ouija board that was in her house. Laine then enlists the help of her boyfriend Trevor (Daren Kagasoff), her sister Sarah (Ana Cato), her friend Isabelle (Bianca A. Santos), and Debbie's boyfriend Pete (Douglas Smith). The friends decide to use the same Oujia board the home where Debbie died. When they think they've made contact with Debbie, they feel they can finally put things to rest. However, something dark and sinister has broke through and they must figure out how to stop it.

Ouija is made from the much hated company known as Platinum Dunes, and it is a PG-13 horror film. This alone makes the horror community already hate it. However, this viewer found the film very entertaining film. It takes a simple idea as a Ouija board that's been used in several supernatural films and throws into a very well-executed script. It does feature a few horror clichés such as people suddenly appearing, doors slamming, and even the cliché of the parents conveniently going out of town right when things are about to go down. However, the overall story is interesting and features a pretty decent, although not totally surprising twist. One thing I always give Platinum Dunes credit for is their excellent use of setting, filming style, and atmosphere. All of which shows up here. Many of the settings the characters find themselves help boost the the spook/creep factor, as does the cinematography and set design. The film isn't scary, but it does a great job of providing just enough a creep factor to put the viewer in the right mind-set. And it does have seem genuine creepy moments, especially in the final act. The young cast also does very well with their roles, we believe them as a young group of kids, and they come off as pretty realistic. Olivia Cooke in particular who is known from the popular series Bates Motel shows that she can definitely pull of the role of the main girl. We really believe her as a girl wanting to know the truth and eventually wanting to save her friends. Definitely one actress to keep an eye on. One thing that particularly makes the film enjoyable is an excellent cameo made by an actress very well known in the horror genre.

Ouija may be made by a company with a bad rep in the horror community, and it's PG-13, featuring some horror clichés. But it is a very entertaining film with a fun story, a great cast, excellent and creepy atmosphere/settings, and some genuinely spooky moments. Easily the most enjoyable PG-13 horror film since Insidious.

My Rating: 9/10

I usually don't introduce posts in that manner but on this special occasion, it really has to be. And, what really made the deception bigger was the fact that I remember that I paid $10 to watch this movie in a cinema in Puerto Rico (I can't remember if it was Halloween or not, but anyways) when I could have saved myself from such a struggle. Ouija is the pinnacle of the type of movie one would watch while doing something on a side and certainly not pay 100% of his attention towards it -- something well, which is not easy to do in a cinema. Then, you can always leave [...]

What bothers me primarily is the extreme simplicity that resides into the movie. Secondly, the fact that I was able to anticipate 80 to 90% of the times when the scare was going to fall. At last, the fact that when the scary part DID fall, they were not as scary as I would have expected them to be.

All I learned after Ouija was that it is the perfect movie to introduce somebody who hates horror movies to the genre but certainly not for intermediate/advanced spectators who love it.

I remember my reaction at the end of the session and I was like 'what did I just watch' and it seemed like my friends had the same reactions. Unfortunately, I really do not know what to say and don't have much to say from a pure technical standpoint because it's just too simple minded and too predictable to really have anything of note and my post would be filled with unnecessary negatives. I'll just let the my note speak for itself then.

Ouija is a 2014 American supernatural horror-thriller film directed by Stiles White and co-written by White and Juliet Snowden. The film stars Olivia Cooke, Ana Coto, Daren Kagasoff, Douglas Smith and Bianca A. Santos. Ouija was released on October 24, 2014. It is the first Hasbro property adaptation produced by Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse Productions, as well as Hasbro's first horror film.

The film opens with a young Laine Morris and Debbie Galardi playing with a Ouija board in Laine's room, only to be interrupted by Laine's sister Sarah. The scene then forwards to present day, where Debbie (Shelley Hennig) is playing with the board by herself and is so unnerved by what she experiences that she tries to burn the board and planchette before calling Laine (Olivia Cooke). Concerned, Laine comes over but is sent away by Debbie, who goes upstairs only to find the board on her bed. Her eyes turn white and she hangs herself. The following day, Laine is with her boyfriend Trevor (Daren Kagasoff) at a diner, where they meet up with their friend Isabelle (Bianca A. Santos). Laine receives a text and goes home, learning of Debbie's death. After the funeral, Laine finds Debbie's Ouija board and decides to gather Sarah, Trevor, Isabelle, and Debbie's boyfriend Pete (Douglas Smith) to hold a seance. They make contact with someone who is identified as D, who Laine immediately believes is Debbie. Despite this, the group is too frightened to continue playing. A couple nights later, they're drawn back to the board after each person finds the message "hi friend" in various locations. Upon further interaction with the board, the group discovers that the spirit is not Debbie. Laine looks through the planchette and sees a young girl with her mouth stitched closed, who then warns the group to run from her mother. The group heads home, only for a malicious spirit to follow Isabelle and murder her. Trevor and Laine research Debbie's house and find that a young girl was placed in a mental institution after killing her mother, who she claims killed her sister, Doris. The two travel to the institution and meet Paulina Zander, who states that their mother killed Doris and sewed her mouth shut because she believed that spirits were trying to communicate through her. Trevor and Laine head home and unleash the spirits of Doris and Mrs. Zander. Doris overcomes her mother and the group believes that everything has been resolved. Unfortunately, this is not true as Pete is later killed by Doris. Laine confronts Paulina about this, only to realize that Doris and Paulina were the evil ones and that Mrs. Zander was trying to stop them. Laine's grandmother tells them that the only way to stop the ghost is to burn Doris's body and the Ouija board. Trevor is also killed before Sarah manages to locate the corpse. Both Sarah and Laine are attacked by Doris and it is only through the intervention of Debbie's spirit that the girls survive and manage to burn Doris's corpse and the Ouija board, destroying Doris. The two sisters return home, only for Laine to find the planchette waiting for her in her room.

Wow. Just, wow. I do, actually, love this movie and am giving it a 9/10 because of that. Of course, it's not the best but it's not the worst either. Well, hell to those who say that because this is defiantly one of my new favorite modern scary movies.

I gotta say, though, I really wanted to give this a 10/10, but there were a few things that bugged me. One was that in the trailer Sarah (played by Ana Coto) was seen saying "It's not even real, okay. It's just a game," while her voice gets all demonic and her eyes go white. Well, that didn't happen. Well, it did but it didn't. She said something like that but her voice wasn't demonic nor did her eyes go white. Not to mention the countless other things that happened in the trailer but didn't in the movie. (but the thing with Sarah that was so memorable for me personally not being in the movie made me mad for a bit)

And that wasn't the only thing that bugged me. The movie left off at a weird spot that makes it need to have a part two. And, if you ask me, the parts that we saw in the trailer that weren't actually in the movie will probably be in part two. (because they need to make one)

Now, what if you want to see it but you don't know if it's "your style"? Well, let me break this down. If you're the type who loves jump-scares, you'll like this movie. It's packed full of them. You'll even jump at things that you never thought you'd jump at or things that aren't really a threat. If you're the type of person who likes a lot of gore and morbidness, this movie isn't really for you. Sure, this has some morbid parts here and there, especially with the killing of the characters and the design of the antagonist(s(?)), but nothing like a slasher-killer movie. And, if you like movies where you'll have people yelling at how stupid the characters can be *cough**cough*Every Scary Movie Ever*cough**cough* then you'll defiantly like this movie. And, I gotta say, despite it's faults, I love this movie, I'm glad I saw it in thee theater, and I would love to spend my money on it again.

Now, if you excuse me, I need to go make plans to see this again.

Sunday evening, I went and saw the movie "Ouija". I insisted I would not see this movie, because to be honest I was too scared. Something about summoning spirits just horrifies me! But I went with a few friends so that comforted me a little. I was extremely anxious going into the movie because I was so scared and after watching it, I had every right to be! This movie was definitely scary. Maybe it is because I was already nervous but I will say I was not disappointed! The movie had me jumping and covering my eyes the entire time! My friend next to me was squeezing my hand so hard, I thought all blood circulation was going to stop in my hand! Coming home that night, I was so scared I had to walk in with my flashlight on my phone just to turn on the lights in my house! As scary and good as it was, I wouldn't say this will go down in the "Horror Movie Hall of Fame" but it is definitely one I would suggest to anyone to go see!

My friend & I really liked this movie. We had seen Annabelle recently & were very disappointed. Not the case with this movie. The beginning did drag a little bit, but not to where you start to get ready to leave. I felt the acting was good. The movie did have an ending, however, it ended in such a way where it would be easy to make a Ouija 2. Isn't that the case with most movies these days? I don't mind that at all, especially if I really liked the movie. We were so spooked that hours later when we were at a casino, a slot machine was making very strange noises as we walked by it. We thought maybe it was one of those that plays music to get you to play it, but it wasn't. We just looked at each other & rushed out!! I like a good movie that leaves me spooked!

After watching this film, I've learned never to judge a horror film by its rating. For a PG-13 movie, this film gave me some serious chills. Easily one of the scariest films since The Conjuring. (Some friends and I played with an ouija board before, so some scenes kinda hit close to home)

When Debbie supposedly commits suicide, Laine and her group of friends play with an ouija board as a way to communicate with Debbie and say goodbye, but what they get is a supernatural force too powerful to imagine. Laine must solve the mystery and rid themselves of the ghost before it's too late. I highly recommend OUIJA!!!

Ouija is one of those that feels like an Asian horror film remade for an American audience. And also it feels like a horror film from the 80's. I don't consider this film a great film, not something I would want to own, but has a horror film it does deliver the jump scares.

The young leads in the film are pretty descent, but some of the other characters are hit and miss. The film does have some good twists and turns you sometimes won't see coming, but in some ways if you seen films The Ring(2000), and The Grudge(2004), so maybe Ouija will seem like nothing new, but still an entertaining film. See this movie if you're in the mood for some jump scares.

The beginning of the movie starts with how Debbie died and it shows it. When playing the game they thought that they were talking to Debbie's spirit but, are they really? They thought it was Debbie because when they asked the spirit who they were talking to and it started with a "D" so they figured it was her. Later on, they did some research on the house she died in and it turns out two people died there before they moved in. The people who died were named "Doris" and "Mother". Doris has a sister who is still alive and lives in a insane asylum.

The group later on finds a video of her playing the Ouiji Board by herself then they realize that she didn't kill herself The reason she died was because she played it by herself, anybody who plays it by themselves dies. Because the spirits take over when nobody is there to witness. Debbie did not know that it would actually call the spirits because she didn't believe in the board.

They find out more information from the insane sister of Doris. Not 100% sure they are but, they have to trust her anyway because there is no other option. The insane sister tells them to go cut the stitches of the dead sister. She also tells the group to call "Mother" using the board. Laine's grandmother tells them to stay away from everything, The Board, dead body's, also the lady.

The spirits are getting a lot stronger. By that I mean they are able to see the spirits about without the Ouiji Board Lense. In order to stop it they have to figure it out themselves.

"Ouija" is what you would expect from a modern horror film these days, but is able to present watchable content while not dwelling to far out of the ordinary. You'll probably already know the story about the ancient spirit board that can have supernatural abilities linked to the dead, but Ouija manages to make them interesting and fun to watch. Not only that, but it seems as though the producers and directors knew exactly how to coordinate the plot in order to make the film robust. Unlike other horror films these days that go so far out to stand out, Ouija a uses a simple premise that just works. The acting is good, the story is good, and the scares might sometimes lift a hair up from the back of your neck.
