REVIEW: Ouija

The film that will make you never go near a Ouija board again.

REVIEW: Ouija

Nathan Formella, Advertising Director

In the horrifying new film, Ouija, Laine (Olivia Cooke) and her best friend Debbie (Shelly Henning) are two average teenage girls. When they were children they discovered a Ouija board. To them it was just a game and they did not know much about it. They hadn’t played with the Ouija since the very first day they found it, until one day Debbie was cleaning out her attic and finds the Ouija board. The one rule they learned was to never play with the board by yourself…but Debbie did not follow this rule.

Debbie played the game by herself and strange things started to occur. Debbie knew the board was trouble and tried to dispose of it and in a shocking event, she hung herself.

Laine then finds the board in Debbie’s room and convinces her friends Pete (Douglas Smith), Trevor (Daren Kagasoff), and Isabelle (Bianca Santos) to play the board to try and contact their dead friend Debbie. Instead of reaching Debbie, they reach a horrifying spirit. This is where the movie really takes off. It did start off slow in the beginning but once Debbies friends find the board things start getting interesting. The movie did a good job of keeping the viewer on the edge of their seat, with some horrific scenes that had people jumping. The end is what gets the audience putting a twist in the plot no one could have seen coming.

If you’re into the horror film type and like being scared, Ouija is the movie for you.
