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.

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

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

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

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

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

my favorite film genre is terrible horror, i find that even if you seek out the worst, you can still find something entertaining in it all. this movie however, wasn't entertaining in the slightest. the plot was painfully generic and half the lines were so predictable i could quote the movie almost 1-1 on my first watch. this movie tries so hard to be something, but it falls flat on every single attempt.

Not a technically terrible movie, but it’s just so unbelievably generic and soulless to the point of deep apathy.

I already knew I was going to get a bad horror movie. But my autistic self made a joke in the concession stand that was offhanded not knowing the plot. That turned the whole movie into a comedy. My joke predicted the plot. And it was hilarious. But even knowing all that it was still really bad.

Clearly an unpopular opinion but I really like this movie! It’s got some decent jump scares and anything with Lin Shaye in is a winner for me. An easy 4 stars!
