Ouija: A New Beginning

It was the best film of the year.. hands down , this has got it all. It reminds me of Twin Peaks , its just so out there with its originality , and the acting was up there with the performances of Boris Karloff and Christopher Lee , the womens performances brought in influnences of Jamie Lee Kurtis , of Neve Campell and Weaver segorny , yes ... this is the kind of film that will still keep coming up on peoples favourate lists for decades to come , possibly centuries to come ... really , how come films get made like this ? I mean , how come films get made like this ? Do i need to say it again ? How come ? They are so good that once you have seen it you can put it back on and just watch it back to back , thats what I suggest you do , this is my third night of repeat watching of this film , I prob have never watched a film 3 nights in row , but thats what I did , it was so good that there was no competion out there to compete with this film ... you enjoy this film , you are lucky to have found this film , and luckier still to have the choice , yes the choice , the choice to watch this over and over , every single night , 7 days a week , 365 days a year ... now that is not luck , that , that , that is fate ...

I put this on thinking its new why not, I don't mind a horror even on in the background, however the hair and make up aren't great, the dialogue is even worse its not engaging or thought provoking and the music composition seems out of place and amateurish. I don't want to be unduly harsh but I think the problem is ouija the beginning gives the impression that it is at the bar expected from other films with similar names almost as if its part of a franchise but it isn't. Overall my standards were set with the title and it was let down by the delivery. If you want a low budget nice try movie maybe for if you have younger viewers I can't see it being an issue the only reason they will be up at night is due to the shock they suffered at how badly executed this 'horror' was. Happy viewing 😏

If you've ever wondered what it would be like to watch paint dry while actors mumble through a script written on a napkin, Ouija: A New Beginning has you covered. This cinematic disaster manages to take the concept of a haunted Ouija board and do the unthinkable: make it boring.

Let's start with the acting, which is less "scared of ghosts" and more "confused to be on set." The cast delivers their lines like they just woke up from a nap and are still unsure what movie they're in. Emotions range from wooden to slightly less wooden, and not a single performance makes you care about anyone's fate. Honestly, I was rooting for the spirits-if only to put these characters (and the audience) out of their misery.

The directing? Imagine someone trying to build suspense but accidentally filming a slow-moving soap opera instead. Scenes drag on forever, with all the energy of a DMV line. The only thing terrifying here is the editing, which seems to actively avoid anything scary.

And then there's the story. Calling it "silly" is generous. It's a convoluted mess of clichés, plot holes, and nonsense logic. You could probably summon a demon faster than you could figure out what the heck is going on in this script. Best of all, despite being a Ouija movie, the actual board is barely in it. It's like making a Jaws sequel with no shark-just people standing around talking about maybe swimming someday.

Pacing? Think molasses in January. Scares? Nonexistent. Atmosphere? Only if you count the fog of confusion you'll be stuck in while watching.

Ouija: A New Beginning isn't just a bad horror movie-it's a masterclass in how not to make one. It'll leave you terrified that you wasted your time and money.

I guess they were not able to copyright the basic name and concept of Ouija, so just like when Amityville became a hit there were official sequels but even more knock offs or mockbusters, this is clearly a mockbuster exploiting the popularity of the official 2 films produced by Universal Pictures and Hasbro.

It's slow at the start for most of the cast; it is their first time in front of the camera. You can tell it's all amateur and low budget, and a good storyline. A lot of background noise for a low budget film. It's actually very good, and I would ignore what the critics have written and slayed the film. Actors, we have to start somewhere. Fair play to the whole team; they have done a brillaint job and dont let the 1star reviews put you off ,i checked other work most of the cast have done and for some of the cast its first their movie and i wish them all the best of luck. The The script's influence resurfaces in parts of our conversations as children.
