Laine convinces her group of friends to use a Ouija board to make contact with their recently deceased friend Debbie. When they return to where Debbie died in an attempt to reach her, they discover disturbing film footage Debbie recorded of herself after she found the Ouija board, leading up to her brutal death. The friends soon learn that they have awoken a dark and terrifying power that begins to haunt them, and that the only way to break the connection with this darkness... is to play the game again! (Universal Pictures UK)

Unfortunately, the very promising and impressive atmosphere of the empty house in which there is “something," is replaced, sometime around the middle of the film, by surprisingly routine boredom, which gives up on any tension (a useless expedition to the cellar) and wanted to just scare the audience at this point, although in the most typical way. It’s nothing special, but also not terrible. And Olivia Cooke is fine.

"Ouija" is another exemplary product of the modern horror scene. Simply put, it is a quickly made horror film that is talked about a lot but has nothing to say. The plot is so bad that it hurts to watch the film, not to mention that every scene is essentially a cliché and you will constantly have a feeling that you are watching something where the creators didn't even try to be a little bit inventive, they were literally afraid of it. This is simply a bad horror film, of which there are many in today's time.
