Ouija: A New Beginning

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.

I popped this on thinking it was one in the series of the other Ouija films, but it's not. The young girls who play the sisters did a great job and I hope they go far in their careers. I think the giveaway that it wasn't linked could have been the bad hair and makeup, or possibly the bad dialogue. Maybe the story? Who knows. Just a warning it's not what you're thinking it is.

I don't like it when filmmakers jump on the back of successful films by pretending they're something they're not. Like adding Ouija to the title. Or Amityville.

If you don't manage to read this and watch it by accident, enjoy!

Whoever did the sounds n music for this should never work again! Constant, loud noises, cracks, bangs n shower noises! It's irritating AF! And it looks like it was made in 2005 not 2025! The footsteps are super loud n it all sounds so off putting! The girls are great in it.

It honestly sounds like the movie is being filmed next to a 4th grade music class when the teacher has left the room and they are just messing around! Wooden blocks being his together, a bass drum banging n awful sudden bursts of really loud crappy Orchestra music! It annoyed me throughout the whole movie, sometimes silence is a lot scarier!

This movie deserves 0 stars and the title should be changed because it's a very very bad look for the other Ouija movies which are great by the way. The acting in this movie is the worst acting i have ever seen and this is no exaggeration. Everyone involved with this film should be ashamed because it's god awful I would be embarrassed as hell. If I were you I would definitely start looking and thinking about a new career cause acting has never looked so bad. This is a waste of money and time so go watch any other movie anything else I mean anything because you will be disappointed if you try to watch this one. Complete garbage and it's offensive to the paranormal movies that are great.

Needless to say that I had, of course, never heard about this 2025 movie titled "Ouija: A New Beginning" prior to stumbling upon it by random chance. And with it being a horror movie that I had neither seen nor heard about, and with my love of all things horror, of course I opted to check out what writer and director Jason Hawkins had to offer. Sure, I harbored zero expectations, as movies with the word "Ouija" in the title are usually laughable affairs.

"Ouija: A New Beginning" had snagged a staggering 3.3 rating here on IMDb at the time I sat down to watch the movie. So that wasn't exactly proving that I would be in for a stellar movie experience here. But I still opted to give the movie the benefit of the doubt.

The storyline in the movie was pretty straightforward. It wasn't as if writer and director Jason Hawkins had conjured up a particularly bad script here. The problem with the storyline was that it was very, very formulaic and generic. If you've seen one movie that deals with the Ouija phenomena, then you've essentially already also seen "Ouija: A New Beginning". So yeah, you're not in for anything overly impressive here.

Of the entire cast ensemble, I was actually not familiar with a single actor or actress aside from Elissa Dowling and actor Neil Green. And that was actually a good thing here, as I enjoy watching new and unfamiliar talents on the screen whenever I sit down to watch a movie. The acting performances in "Ouija: A New Beginning" were fair.

The movie doesn't really make use of special effects, so there was very little assistance to be had here in terms of sprucing up the movie.

My rating of writer and director Jason Hawkins's 2025 movie "Ouija: A New Beginning" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.
