    Hands down, the worst experience in my life.

    Before watching this movie, I looked up the IMDb rating. I knew it was low, but I've seen movies with low ratings before and they were still fun to watch. So I thought, I should give this movie a go, even though it was bad.

    Worst decision of my life.

    This movie is the definition of boredom. Nothing happens, literally nothing happens. The only action I enjoyed watching, were the credits rolling at the end of this 'movie'. This movie rates a 10 on horror if it comes to acting. I didn't even know people were capable of acting in such a way, that my eyes hurt just watching it. But apparently they can. I would start about the bad plot, but there isn't one to begin with, so there's is no point going there.

    I would say this movie is just plain rubbish, but rubbish, in some way, has value. This movie doesn't.

    On the other hand, I'm very happy that I watched this movie. I can enjoy the little things in life now. For example, I can enjoy waiting for 40 minutes on the bus, watching the grass in my garden grow and waiting for my driver-license at the DMV since they don't bore me as much anymore, since I watched this movie.

    So if you're easily bored, go watch this movie! You'll enjoy life afterwards, otherwise, stay away.

    Little surprise here, and there, but overall simple.

    "The Ouija experiment" A recent found footage indie film that caught my eye due to everyone's favorite spirit contracting element, the Ouija board. But will it be enough to set a good movie here? First off the plot / idea of the film, and where it goes. To be honest, we've all seen this before, the widely spread cliché of a group of friends coming together, messing around with the paranormal entities known as ghosts, then having to battle it off. In this movie however, the simple cliché is carried out not only through the story, but the characters as well. You have the tough guy, the smart guy that thinks he knows everything, the clueless girl, and the other bad "know it all" girl. Overall, the execution of said clichés in this film was quite poor, offering little, to no character development, and tasteless attempts.

    Next, of course, you have your cinematography, and film work. Of course, considering this being a found footage, you'll have your "eh, eh's" for people, depending who the audience members are. In this case, the movie actually dose a solid job on the found footage technique here executing little to no shakiness, pleasing the audience with a small amount of disorientation. The lighten and sound is what it is, once again executing a solid performance with small elements to complain, and or hate about. So in conclusion, this fraction of the film was executed smoothly, pleasing the audience overall.

    Finally the acting of the film, one word. NO! This film had a streak until this dropped the bomb! The acting was not good. It's as if these actors were students, still in the works of official acting! The actors, or in this case, characters overall overacted! They delivered they're lines in an unordered - like fashion that threw the audience off! On the other hand, not all the characters executed they're lines badly, but for the most part, half of them had they're part of which they did! And most of said overacting was visible, as said before, throwing us audience off, delivering a dropped bomb. Smashing the film.

    In conclusion, this film was O-kay. It had parts of which threw us audience off, but for the most part it was a solid horror film that delivered. There were some parts of the film that showed off the low budget of the film, including sound, CGI, etc. the scares were plain, the story carried out and thought it was more then it could of been. In conclusion, this was a solid indie horror film, it was what it was. I'd recommend it toward paranormal fans, but keep this in mind, it's nothing THAT new, it's as if this movie is recycled.

    Just Awful

    This movie is terrible. Please do not try to watch it even if you find it for free. Trust me, it's not worthy of your time. There's no such thing as a story, the acting is terrible and the directing couldn't probably be any worse than it is now.

    Basically, this movie has no production value whatsoever. It's shot inside two apartments with a dslr or a cheap camcorder (maybe even iphone) and the visual quality is lower than a youtube production.

    I wouldn't be surprised that much if I watched this on youtube but I can't understand how netflix said yes to this nonsense?

    You could grab your Galaxy S6 or Iphone 6 plus and shoot a much better movie than this one, I guarantee you. Stay a million miles away.

    Bad movie to relay one important message, never leave your Ouija board without saying goodbye!

    This is a new release on Netflix as of this writing.

    At the very beginning of the movie it states "the film you are about to see is based on true events". If you do not know what that means for a feature movie, please look it up.

    I gave this movie a low rating due to: -Atrocious acting from all main characters -No complexity or depth for any characters for you to build any connection or sympathy for them -Run of the mill horror film scare tactics, nothing new here

    The only things I liked about the movie were a couple of comedic internet meme references and a "revelation" scene towards the end that was shot with back story characters. The actors in this scene performed much better than the main character actors and it was as if it was filmed by a different director and crew. Too bad that only lasted a few minutes of the movie instead of its duration.

    I do not recommend adding to your watch list.

    I usually like bad horror movies

    I don't usually leave bad reviews because I actually like bad horror movies. The first half is decent. I had nothing better to do this day in quarantine, so it held my attention. I fell asleep after that though, because the second half has the same few jump scares happening over and over. So I missed the ending due to sleep. But I'm fairly certain I'm not missing anything.
