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.

Times (UK)

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

Rated: 1/5

Jonathan Romney

Observer (UK)

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

Rated: 1/5

Jordy Reviews It

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

Deep Focus Review

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

Rated: 0/4

The planchette (the ouija's triangular pointer) is aimed at "No."

This is possibly the most forgettable movie I've ever seen unfortunately. The opening 20 minutes is something to be positively remarked at, but it turns into pretty much nothing demon movie based around this board. Still, decent enough performances and intriguing enough story make it a somewhat alright time, but nothing that's going to win awards or anything memorable.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

It definitely was good, but not much on the horror side. It was more of a thriller than anything but the plot was solid enough for it to make sense and I honestly loved it.

I cannot defend this movie. Just felt like every single scene was wasted potential? How do you mess this up so badly.. I could’ve written a better script… the whole movie feels like building up to something and then it’s just over….

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

A dumb premise that leads to bloodless series of embarrassingly bad non-events.

It's such a boring film where nothing happens. All the jumps are so quiet and don't scare you at all. Just a really boring film.
