Ouija

“Ouija” is the story of five high-school friends searching for answers about the apparent suicide of their friend, Debbie. With the assistance of the Parker Brothers classic, they set out to request answers from their dearly departed. Who they contact however, is someone far from helpful.

This movie has everything:  Attics, basements, moving objects, and even a Hispanic maid who seems to know way too much!

The film is slow, rather dark, and relies heavily on shadow-play to build tension and suspense.  It does this to dubious effect, but there are a few nice scenes in which the filmmaker attempts to display contrast.  It has a twist, albeit an obvious one and I found myself playing on my phone through most of it.  This movie may prove thrilling to some children, but not to anyone else. Not worth the time.
