Ouija: Origin of Evil


Plot:
Set in the late 60s. A widowed mother named Alice (Elizabeth Reaser) and her two daughters Doris (Lulu Wilson) and Lina (Annalise Baso) add a Ouija board to their Medium scheme. As you probably guessed, they accidentally invite real evil into their home. 

Pros:
•Started off strong. Had some interesting ideas. 
•The color tone and the way it was shot made it look like it was really filmed in the 60s. 
•The little girl who plays Doris is really creepy in this. 
•At least this was bad in a funny sort of way. It's best to view this as a comedy otherwise you'll end up pissed off and cursing at the screen. 

Cons:
•Falls into the same shitty horror cliches we've seen a million times. Which is sad because the movie had potential. 
•Cringeworthy dialog. 
•Weird editing. Some scenes would end very abruptly. 
•Cheap looking special effects. I know this had a $6 million dollar budget but that's no excuse. I've seen plenty of low budget movies that looked really good. 
•The ending. Are you fucking kidding me?!? 
•Never trust Rotten Tomatoes. How this shit is at 80% I'll never know. 
•I can't even recommend you watch this when it comes to Netflix. Do yourself a favor and just watch The Conjuring instead. It's a MUCH better movie. 

My Rating: 5.5/10
