Story:A girl is mysteriously killed after recording herself playing with an ancient Ouija Board, which leads to a 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'
Likes : Note: I will say is this film over glamorises the Ouijia board as a toy, be warn this is not a toy or a game to be taken lightly yes this film is dramatise but the real events that come from using a oujia board the wrong way are real.
These things do work & are used by people who are fully trained in how to use them, these are not to be used as toys or game you need to respect the board as a tool & nothing else because these can be very dangerous not just for yourselves but for the people around you when using the board beware there is a demonic entity called the zozo, yes its real that is attracted to people opening a door way with the board.
As for the film this is not a bad film, although there are a few flaws it dose mange to make you jump in curtain places, the story is ok but a little weak & slightly mediocre for a horror film as this type of concept has been done before so dont expect anything that hasn't been done before but dose mange to keep you watching.
The special effect of the film are brilliant done to give a chilling dark atmosphere as some moment do give you that cold chilling feeling, this is pretty much back up with the acting from the cast which is convincing enough to make you believe this is happening to the group. This to me was frightening in places & some what dark & chilling but it just wasn't a brilliant it was an ok film, but some this may be frightening to some viewer as some scene are pretty disturbing it dose give you that cold chill down you spine.
Dislikes : My only complaints about this film it the fact this could have been done in a better way with a much darker concept that could easily chill you to the bone, sadly this dosent do that i feel the story writing is a little lazy here gone with a safe option instead of pushing this concept to a dark level.
Most of the film is ok in part but 70% of this film is to predictable & the pace of this film is a little to slow for when nothing much happens it kind of kill's the creep horror mood the film is trying to come across, just feel like it trying to hard to frighten the audience it just come off flat because its predictable. As we all know predictable moments aren't scary or make you jump lot of this film dose this which is ashame because a film of this type has so much potential to be more frightening.
Overall : Not a bad film, few jumpy moment & chilling moment, but could of been better for what it was,but still worth watching for entertainment value.
Rating: 4.2 out of 5 for entertaining / 6.8 out of 10 for concept.
