Following the sudden death of her best friend, Debbie, Laine finds an antique Ouija board in Debbie's room and tries to use it to say goodbye. Instead, she makes contact with a spirit that calls itself DZ. As strange events begin to occur, Laine enlists others to help her determine DZ's identity and what it wants. As the friends delve deeper, they find that Debbie's mysterious death was not unique, and that they will suffer the same fate unless they learn how to close the portal they've opened.

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.

The 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.

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."

Maybe my expectations were the lowest of the low going in, but I found it to not as bad as I have heard it was. The acting was fairly decent and Lin Shaye alone elevated the film.

The only thing that was channeled in this movie was poor screenwriting. Everything fell flat—nothing worked. The concept of a mother and daughter ghost could be interesting if it were handled by a better team. This is just another reason to avoid this board.

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.
