In the current economy, Monopoly makes a more appropriate board game upon which to base a horror movie, but for what it is, Ouija is better than expected. Read full review

Ouija is confident, meat-and-potatoes horror, and that’s a lot harder to pull off than it sounds. Read full review

Given its double burden of being both a toy adaptation and a bloodless kiddie horror show, Ouija winds up being more fun that you might think, even if it's the sort of film you can't really take seriously for a second. Read full review

The most pressing issue with Ouija is that Stiles and Snowden cannot seem to write a single interesting line of dialogue. They volley between conversational banalities and whatever exposition might be needed to get the film to its next scary setpiece. Read full review

The ghost scenario that this boring, CW-ready, "Scooby-Doo" gang uncovers isn't nearly as shocking as the blasé attitude they have toward friends dying off. Read full review

Hasbro’s long-lasting occult board game gets its own starring role in a film that makes those other recent Hasbro plaything adaptations – namely "Transformers" and "G.I. Joe" – look like triumphs of subtly engineered cinematic magic. Read full review

Even though it is confusing and it has some good scares and accidental scares by the characters friends which is the main problem about this movie also the characters and their idiotic choices between playing with Ouija board. In 2012 White and Snowden wrote The Posession which was a mixed attention from critics despite that fact that they did NOT control the rains to make a horror movie Posession was not scary in Ouija they controlled it elements of scares Ouija tries and tries to be the bigger thrills to bet the scary movies to come out in the past like Insidious.
White directed this horror project he did not make a formula of a perfect movie but he made a good script. Also acclaimed producer of (Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake , The Unborn , Amityville horror remake, Nightmare on Elm Street remake), Micheal Bay did not ruin this horror movie he didn't do anything at all but thanks to him this Ouija movie is getting negative reviews from critics.… Expand

Horror ist sowas wie das Urgenre des Popcornkinos. Produziert Popcornpapst Michael Bay einen Horrorfilm, passt das also.

Produziert Popcornpapst Michael Bay einen Horrorfilm, passt das also. Doch was mit Michael Bay’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre glückte, aber schon mit Freitag, der 13. in die Hose ging, nässt in Ouija – Spiel nicht mit dem Teufel die ganze Garderobe durch. In Stiles Whites unschlagbar klischeehaftem Geisterhorrorfilm nutzt eine Gruppe aalglatter Teenager das berüchtigte Ouija-Spielbrett zur Aufklärung eines verdächtig plötzlichen Selbstmords – und erhält alsbald tödliche Botschaften aus dem Jenseits. Anfangs zahm, aber angenehm spannend und dabei schick bebildert, gerät Ouija – Spiel nicht mit dem Teufel schnell zur peinlichen CGI-Orgie mit durchweg vorhersehbaren Schocks.… Expand

I have never used it but some of my friends with a taste for these themes have used it or know it well enoughThe Ouija board is probably one of the most mysterious instruments of spiritualism, and its ease of acquisition makes it specially appealing to teenagers who likes the supernatural. I have never used it but some of my friends with a taste for these themes have used it or know it well enough to ensure that its not a good idea to use it. Here, in Portugal, its better known as "Jogo do Copo" (literally Game of the Glass, because the triangular pointer is often swapped for a glass cup that has to be broken after the game). Basically, my friends told me that any spirit or demon can answer the call and deceive the players, and the board is the source of several possessions or supernatural disturbances. I don't know if that's true, I'm telling what I've been told, but I will not pay to see if it's true or not. As the people use to say here, "prudent man has died old and suspicious man is still alive". But let's talk about the movie, that's what matters.

The film begins with a good horror premise: an Ouija board that is at the origin of the mysterious death of a young woman. The problem is that the whole plot that develops later is of an awful predictability. In terms of scares, the film also fails roundly. Neither the usual sound and visual tricks were able to make me jump from the seat because I was able to foresee them. The tension, usually compulsory in a horror film, is so absent that it can make us fall asleep. The characters are empty, devoid of personality or some feature that makes us like them, and that makes it indifferent whether they live or die. Some are truly stupid and we just don't care about them. The cast is composed of actors with no talent or experience, who deliver wooden performances, unrealistic and without remarkable merit. Finally, its necessary to talk about CGI, visual and sound effects: although the movie is visually regular, the computer effects are very boring and low, probably because of the low budget.… Expand

It started off well enough and the final 15 minutes was like "Well, how do we end this?" Ok, boyfriend comes swinging down from the rafters, rope around his neck. Call the police? No, let's stay in the house, look for little sis and ultimately have the older daughter stab mom. Stupid stupid ending, and I felt ripped-off. How this travesty was allowed to be released is beyond comprehension. First half hour was engaging...last half hour was garbage.… Expand
