Directed by Mike Flanagan. Written by Flanagan and Jeff Howard. Starring Annalise Basso, Elizabeth Reaser, Henry Thomas, Lulu Wilson, Lin Shaye and Doug Jones.
Plot: a widowed mother and fake psychic accidentally invites an evil presence into her home while using a Ouija board.
In this prequel to Ouija (2014), Alice (Reaser) has recently lost her husband and is working as a fake medium. Her daughter, Lina (Basso), suggests she incorporate a Ouija board into her work. When she does, she accidentally invites Marcus (Jones) into their lives. Marcus is an evil entity that possesses her youngest daughter, Doris (Wilson).
The cast is great and the effects were really creepy, but the story was awful. And when it wasn’t being boring it was being totally unfair. There were no rules and no real motive. It didn’t really make sense. It was slightly better than the original Ouija, but not by much.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. I love comic books. I'm particularly into anything X-Men related and everything Harley Quinn.
2. My celebrity crush is Chris Evans (AKA Captain America). He's even more political than I am and he's not afraid to show it, plus he's really, really hot.
3. I love baseball and more importantly the Boston Red Sox, even though I've never even been to Boston. LOL
4. If I won the lottery tomorrow, after paying off my debts, I'd buy a smallish house somewhere in Southern California. I have got to get out of Texas.
5. My cartoon hero is Tina Belcher. Her and I share a soul.
6. I've been rescuing dogs since I was a teenager and firmly believe that fur babies belong inside and on the furniture.
7. I'm very much addicted to Hallmark Channel. I love their sappy movies, especially the Christmas ones.
8. I have 2 tattoos. An "E" on my ankle for my first lost fur baby. And a ladybug on my wrist named George after George Romero told me he liked it. May he RIP.
9. I'm a bit of a night owl. Not that I go out a lot, it's just that I prefer to be up at night and asleep during the day. I'm a vampire like that.
10. I have an unhealthy relationship with potato chips. My favorite are Herr's Sour Cream & Onion.

Ouija movies always have something awesome to work with and build from the ground up, but for some reason I’ve never enjoyed any of them that I can remember. This one was disappointing to me too, as it seems it was for y’all.

Agreed. They should really be better than they are.
