The acting in this movie is really good.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Yeah some bits were lame, sure. But that kid? Creepy AF.I was wondering about the story of "DZ" and Paulina. I think they did a good job with this prequel. I was sufficiently creeped out.

I'm going to start by admitting I shouldn't like this movie as much as I did. It's cliché in so many ways. They use the loud orchestral pops to make you jump throughout the movie, but while cheap I found many to be chilling. The PG-13 rating took away from some of the scenes. I'm not look for gratuitous gore, but some of what occurred in the movie was simply too clean to believe what was happening. The premise of the movie is a mother of two makes a living as a psychic medium. She uses various mechanisms to put on a believable show so that she can "provide peace" for the families who come to see her. After deciding to add a Ouija board to her business for added effect. After her younger daughter begins playing with the Ouija board, the daughter seems to gain the gift of being able to do what her mother only pretended to do for her clients. And that's where business picks up. The movie was corny throughout, and the effects were low grade. You could practically see where the harnesses were attached when bodies were thrown about. The ending was rather clunky and sudden. I guess I generally like movies involving the Ouija board. Although it's not inherent as I wasn't crazy about the movie "Ouija" (2014), the movie for which this movie is a prequel. But I loved the movie "Witchboard"(1986) and it's sequel "Witchboard 2" (1992). So why did I like this one? All I can say is I was entertained. Maybe I'll have to ask a Ouija board..... Good-bye

A sequel that's a prequel that's actually better than what preceded it! Ouija: Origin of Evil is an above average chiller that's a fine scary ride for those not expecting boundary pushing.Standard rules apply here, widowed mum and two daughters who dabble in the con of seance profiteering get more than they bargained for when they introduce a Ouija board to proceedings.Director Mike Flanagan knows how to construct a good honest scare piece (see Oculus and Hush), and so it proves here. The atmosphere is constantly set at impending dread, the tension slow built until pic goes into overdrive. Unfortunately so many horror films of the decade are reliant on the demon formula to fill out their respective tales, so much so it has become jaded and utterly unsurprising.This hurts this picture and it runs away with itself, rendering the big final quarter - complete with emotional baggage - as something of a let down; though the final shot has goosebump value for sure. Hadrcore horror buffs will find irritants and emptiness, but for those who dip in and out of the genre should find a quick chill to fill a fright gap. 6/10

This film deals with the demonic possession of children from a Ouija Board.This movie had many unrealistic things happening in it, such as the planchette moving around on the ouija board without anyone touching it, Doris's mouth hanging wide open, Doris dying in an unexplained way all of a sudden at the end. When you think that there was going to be a happy or bittersweet ending, all of a sudden, it turns out to be a sad ending.Some of the characters were annoying, such as the bratty teenage girl and the bullies who intimidate Doris at school. There are some similarities between this and Annabelle: Creation, both are prequels, both star Lulu Wilson, both are a bit better in other peoples' opinions than the mediocre sequels were. But I also found an interesting comparison I found at is that Lulu Wilson's character in both movies hate boys. Doris's character gets bullied by boys in Ouija 2 and Linda's character in Annabelle refuses to talk about boys.The rest of the characters were fine, but they couldn't even save this movie. The movie just killed them off and I'd rather for Lina to not be in this movie because she was so bratty, if she was a lot nicer and sweeter, I would've not minded her being in this movie.The acting, otherwise, is the best thing about the movie. Everyone did a great job portraying the emotions of their characters and not coming off as wooden in their acting skills.Verdict: This movie is contrived, clichéd, and forced. It's not much different from your average horror film. It's got the same cliché, sweet innocent youngest girl getting possessed. Don't expect anything groundbreaking from this film.
