Ouija: A New Beginning

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!

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.

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.

This film suffers from a staggering lack of quality across every aspect of its production. The acting is uniformly poor, with performances that feel unconvincing and amateurish. Worst acting I've seen in a while. The script is equally underwhelming-poorly written, lacking coherence, and riddled with clichés. The overall story is weak, offering little in the way of originality or emotional engagement.

At times, it feels more like a rushed student project than a professionally produced film, with subpar direction and an absence of cinematic vision. It's difficult to even classify this as a proper movie given its glaring deficiencies. Unfortunately, it stands out as one of the worst viewing experiences I've had in recent memory.
