The movies starts off really well. The acting is good and the story line is initially captivating. Half way through the movie it's seems like everything goes downhill, the story gets more and more far fetched, the acting starts to get hokie, it's like the director got to a point where he rushed to the end as fast as possible without regards to the viewer. It could have been done so much better.

Far superior to the previous film, it's unfortunately let down by the nature of being a prequel; we know where the pieces are all going to end up which takes away much of the tension.

We have Mike Flanagan as the director here. Unlike his later films and TV shows (which are amazing), "Ouija: Origin of Evil (2016) was not that original and unique, but still - the story was well told; good jump scares and camera movement. The biggest Kudos goes to Lulu Wilson who makes one of the greatest child performances in the movie history. 1 star + here only because of her. Every scene she is in just kills it. Hope a bright future there will be for this actress. As for the rest of the cast - they are all familiar from the Flanagan's other movies and TV shows and they all do a good job :)) The movie can be scary at times, but the ending I didn't like which is a big minus + the story again - it was nothing original; just well told and paced. Final Score: 6/10.

Decent movie, full of jump scares (many of them you can see coming a mile away) but still good enough to pass the time. I found this one a bit better - "creepier", I suppose - than the original (which I didn't have as much of a problem with as a lot of others did, apparently.) It's still your typica More

_YesYes: UnOriginal of Evil_ is a **much**, much better film than its predecessor, Ouija.

But, seeing as the first _Ouija_ was far and away the worst film of 2014, that's not much of an achievement.

_Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._

**So this is where it all began!**

It is a decent horror film, but surely better than the first. The previous part was an usual teen themed horror where everything started as a playful. But this one was a prequel and it focused on the origins. A single mother with two daughters is making money he More

I really enjoyed the beginning of the film. The film though lasts 90 minutes and till 60 minutes seems like we are still in the beginning. The movie ends too fast, all the action takes part in the last 15 minutes so they wrap it up very poorly and not enjoyable. The horror scenes look more funny rat More
