Redundant and unnecessary.

Good concept, poorly executed.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I originally gave this movie a rating of 7. I thought there were some good creepy moments and liked the storyline continuing from previous occupants. Then I made the mistake of watching the prequel / sequel first and re-watching the original second. Big mistake. The Origin writers had no idea what the first movie's history was. They did an awful job trying to give us more backstory on the Origin of Evil. But what they did do was have a wonderful child actress, Lulu Wilson, who was eerie and creepy and unsettling, something the original Ouija did not have. None of the cast stood out or acted well. It must have been the directing, because I have seen some of the cast in other things and liked them. This movie pales in comparison to Origin, but Origin sucks because it did not take the history told in this story and use it correctly. My recommendation, if you like one of these movies, don't watch the other. And if you want to watch both, watch them years apart so you don't remember the inaccuracies. I changed my rating to a 4.

The only thing I know about Ouija-boards is that the name is derived from of a composition of the French and Dutch words for "yes" ("oui" and "ja") and that they were originally created as ordinary board games for family entertainment. The fact that Ouija boards grew out to become symbol for the macabre, spiritualism and horror is pretty good marketing, if you ask me! As made clear by the title, a Ouija board also forms the central gimmick in this film, but like all skeptical horror fans know, a good gimmick doesn't necessarily guarantee a good movie! "Ouija" is an incredibly uninspired, lame and overly sentimental PG13 ghost story that too obviously steals its plot ideas from other films. This could easily be a sequel in the "Insidious" franchise, except that the Ouija board replaces the human spiritual medium (but Lin Shaye is still present), while the death sequences could come straight out of a "Final Destination" sequel (notably the freak accident in the bathroom). After fooling around with a Ouija board she found in the attic, a teenage girl inexplicable commits suicide. Her friends, and particularly her BFF Layne, refuse to accept that a vivid and joyful young girl like Debbie played with the idea of ending her own life, so they gather around to seek contact with their friend via the same Ouija board. They quickly discover the board is connected to an unresolved missing girl case from the 1950s and put their own lives at risk by unleashing malevolent souls. "Ouija" is a strictly by-the-numbers and commercial horror effort, with predictable boo-moments and fake scares at the most foreseeable moments. The teen protagonists are admittedly less stereotypical and annoying than usually the case in this sort of films, but still you don't feel too much empathy for them. The lead girl, Olivia Cooke, is cute and she surely can act, but she's probably also smart enough to realize that her role in the series "Bates Motel" is a more valuable addition on her resume. There isn't any gore (duh, PG13) and the make-up effects are weak. My 8-year-old son walked in during one of the supposedly scariest moments, but he wasn't the least bit upset.

Ouija tells the story of a young girl who finds out her best friend had hung herself. Knowing that she had no suicidal thoughts,this girl decides to contact her threw a Ouija board and woo evil spirits are let out and everyone dies..help. In my opinion,Ouija is one of the worst films ever to be made,it is so poor and so fake and it just has nothing in it that scares me,I literally think a jumped once and by jump I mean moving leg and accidentally jumping while a scary part approaches. This film stars Oliva Cooke who like Shelly Hennig(who is also in this film for a brief few minutes) are OK actors,there pretty new like they've only started acting like 3 years ago probably. This films effects were also horrible,God that scene where that ghost popped up was so terrible I wanted to get sick ugh. A sequel is approaching this October in about 2 weeks and it's from the director Mike Flanagan who directed Oculus which wasn't a bad film but I'm not sure if I'll see it..yeah..I'm pretty sure I won't see it. Ouija is a terrible,terrible,terrible movie that you shouldn't see only if you have the worst taste in films ever!!!

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.
