Review of Ouija

Ouija (II) (2014)
7/10
Pretty good, but has faults

I'll give a very honest review- starting with the trailer. The trailer was pretty misleading based off the fact that certain things that happened in the trailer wasn't in the movie at all, which is kind of okay, since nothing really spoiled the movie. The beginning of the story was alright, and it didn't catch speed until near the middle to the end - where it got entertaining.

The story itself was decent, it's not deep (but what horror nowadays is, am I right?) Don't expect the story to be mind-blowing. I will say, I adore Olivia Cooke, who plays the lead in the movie, but she didn't meet my expectations in this movie...her acting was, for a lack of a better word, lacking.

IF you enjoy jump scares, this movie is definitely for you. Ouija has jump scares through out the movie, which made it a pretty entertaining watch.

Overall, decent movie, nice jump-scares, okay-acting, but too abrupt of an ending. The movie as a whole was not bad, but the ending was a little disappointing to me. It seemed to end pretty quickly; I wished it was dragged out a little bit longer.

Should you watch in theaters? Yes, if you are into the jump-scares. It's not the best movie, but it isn't the worst either. Besides that, wait to rent it.

Ouija had a lot of potential, but I personally thought that it could have been better if they tweaked the ending. There were several unresolved problems, and it's kind of weird that you barely see these kids' parents at all besides the beginning of the movie. Like, seriously, where are these kids' parents?
