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.

Critics Consensus

Slowly, steadily, although no one seems to be moving it in that direction, the Ouija planchette points to NO.

While the rote screenwriting doesn't kill the dark spirit of the world's creepiest board game, it doesn't channel it, either.

Ouija is a low grade, low impact, Final Destination-style horror rip-off.

1/5

The bumps and thumps are mechanical, the young stars insipid and the otherworldly entity the kids contact is called Doris.

D-

With absolutely dreadful acting, a scare-free, asleep at the wheel script and directing that would be shameful for even the direct-to-video crowd, there is nothing about 'Ouija' that is not remarkably bad.

While this film teases its viewer with some slightly eerie moments and sudden scares, the majority fall flat and cheap.

Ouija commits the crime of taking itself too seriously while also being an incredible bore.

Oujia, puts the real life game into a horrifying ride. With the right amount of high stakes thrills, Ouija points this review ito YES.

Now, I don't know what the fuck goes on inside the brain of Michael Bay, but when it comes to the horror genre, the only thing Michael Bay can do is make crappy horror movies. Also, the stupid plot twist makes everything else in this shitfest make no sense whatsoever!

This movie had a lot of potential, but choppy editing, and sadly a bit of sub-par acting failed it. So many times when the actors needed to show me they were scared or sad, the looked vaguely worried or like they'd stubbed their toe.

Full of dull, unsophisticated characters and adding absolutely nothing new to the mainstream horror genre by rehashing the most cliched horror elements, Ouija might show a couple signs of life at times but they never amount to anything worthwhile.

Another "Final Destination" without any premonitions, brought to you by the Ouija board. The cinematic treatment of the game is similar to "Battleship" in rough, dramatic exaggeration than being smooth as it usually was depicted, but the "smooth" instead was put into the slow eeriness. What the filmic board managed to manifest are the chills and decent scares, but without a fright. (C+) (Full review TBD)
