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.

Rated: 1/5

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."

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!

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

It’s basically like an episode of the show supernatural. Certainly not terrible, but not on par with the best.

Ough. I watched this as part of a bad horror movie binge with a friend and this one was on the list. The scenes that were meant to be scary/upsetting were actually comical. The only scary thing here is how long it takes for this film to go much of anywhere.

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.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

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.
