Really Surprised!

Overrated and overhyped

Instant Favorite.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The makers of this B movie didn't look self-assured in the extras. No worries, we were worried seeing it. The little girl strikes once more. The little girl in horror movie is the lightning rod. There are more girls than the other kind in this. I am still trembling with creepy feelings...

The power of suggestion just can't be underestimated. When my expectations are high I'm disappointed, but when they low, and really, really low in this case, I'm often intrigued. And yet, that doesn't distort the fact that Ouija part two is a miracle. An awful, timeworn premise (the Ouija), a vapid predecessor, and an almost certainty a worse film than, for example, "I know what you did last summer part two." Turns out this one is a very, very good movie. It doesn't deserve an 8, probably more a 7, but I gave it a bump just because of the miracle.

Pretty much what it says on the tin. I haven't seen the original so have no frame of reference, but this film was bland in a lot of aspects. Characters had little interesting going on, there were plot details that didn't seem to go anywhere and some inconsistencies in the films internal logic.What the film did well was that the overall story had interesting direction and some surprises, and the low number of jump scares was refreshing. The film tries to use bits of monster horror, dread and a little body horror for its frights, only sometimes effective.Overall a distinctly middle of the pack film that lives up to what it promises, but doesn't impress.

Trying to operate their illegal scam service, a widow and her teenage daughters running fake seances for rich clients find themselves in real trouble when an innocent game with an ouija board turns into a nightmare when they unleash a terrible evil and must stop it before it takes her over.This was quite a fun and thrilling supernatural effort. What really gives this one a lot to like is the rather strong and striking action played out throughout the film. The opening seance scene where the off-screen noises and shadows around the room lead to a belief in the supernatural that eventually turns out to be a part of their scam service gives this a strong start, while there's more to like about the way this one targets the daughters as the haunting scenes grow far more dangerous throughout the film. Many of these occur through the seance scenes that are placed in here, which allows this to take full advantage of its premise with the kids playing with the board on several occasions in brief, rather fun spurts to help sell their supernatural plight. Adding to the scares is the rather heartwarming factor brought into play when they realize the true nature of their ghostly visitors coming along to help them as the scene where they all see the game-play by itself and see what's been going on the entire time. By the time it changes into the more deadly and dangerous setups later on, they generate more of an impression as the frantic scenes of her getting manipulated by the ghosts in her room, the disfigurement dream she has with her sister and the series of behavioral outbursts that slowly seem to suggest something is happening to them. Once it really throws the idea of the possession into full-force, this becomes much more fun with the events inside the basement at the end which are a lot of fun and manage to really work out some fun ideas, from the revelation of the house's history and how the daughter connects to it all to the chilling supernatural action that occurs in the basement which gives this a really frantic finale. While these here work nicely for the film, it does have a few rather prominent flaws. The main issue here is the fact that there's just not a whole lot of interest in what happens in the first half. The fact that this one goes through the idea of their scam business and then moves on to their other plight really doesn't leave this one with a whole lot of interest as it simply drags on far longer than it really should. Some of the problems are based on the fact that very little of what happens here is really all that scary, as this is content to have her worry about her imaginary friends and play with the board which doesn't generate any kind of real thrills. This does lead to a longer start-up that expected and gives this a longer running time than what should really be required here. As well, the film's rating doesn't really let it go the type of extremes this could've generated as many of the scenes are the typical type found here and don't really generate much else here beyond these jump- scare setups. Beyond these issues, it doesn't have a lot else wrong.Rated PG-13: Violence, Language and children-in-jeopardy.
