A group of friends must confront their most terrifying fears when they awaken the dark powers of an ancient spirit board.
If you expect literally nothing from the movies you pay to see, this will just — just! — about suffice.
When films like Sinister, Shutter and The Purge show just how inventive a genre this can be, it's frustrating to see yet another bland collection of clichés being served up in the name of horror.
Everybody’s pocket money deserves better.
On the level of a fairground ride, the film delivers but when it comes to such matters as emotion, character development and suspense, it's a bust. That's hardly a surprise, given that the producer is Michael Bay, of Transformers infamy.
A few restless, angry spirits soon respond as all hell breaks loose in an overly familiar, uninspired chiller. No great shakes.
Try this for a hellish combination: Ouija is brought to you by pulp mogul Michael Bay, toy manufacturer Hasbro and Jason Blum, producer of the Paranormal Activity series.
