A girl named Debbie (Shelley Hennig) is mysteriously killed after recording herself playing with an ancient Ouija board, which leads her best friend, Laine (Olivia Cooke), and their close group of friends to investigate this board. They later find out that some things aren't meant to be played with, especially the 'other side'.
Critic Consensus
Critical reception for Ouija is overwhelmingly negative, with scores ranging from 20 to 40 out of 100. The few mild points of acknowledgment include a relatively fresh concept and a notable twist that some found mildly interesting. However, critics widely agreed that the film fails as a horror experience, citing a lack of genuine scares and ineffective supernatural elements. It was deemed a disappointment particularly given its Halloween release window, with most reviewers suggesting it would only satisfy those entirely new to the genre.

“Ouija uses a fresh concept, which hasn't been seen a lot in the horror film genre. Unless you count the much better 1986 film, Witchboard. It packs a few scares and has a notable twist that makes it mildly interesting. But beyond that, it just falls apart.”Read full review ↗
“For most parts, 'Ouija' feels like a cheap thrill .You are likely to see people dressed up for Halloween who are scarier than the ghosts and spirits on display in 'Ouija'.”Read full review ↗
