Ouija

This film essentially begins in a rural part of the Philippines with four young girls playing with a Ouija board on a beach which is located near a cemetery that is now submerged under the sea. Needless to say, the children are become horrified once the Ouija board reacts to their inquiries and they immediately cease all activities at that point. The scene then shifts to almost 20 years later with these same people having now become adults and reuniting again at the same place to attend a funeral. As it so happens, all of these women are related with "Aileen" (Judy Ann Santos) and "Romina" (Jolina Magdangal) being half-sisters while "Sandra" (Iza Calzado) and "Ruth" (Rhian Ramos) are their cousins. Also accompanying these women is a friend of Sandra's named "Lucy" (Desiree del Valle) and Ruth's boyfriend "Gino" (JC de Vera). Be that as it may, eventually these same four women decide to once again pass the time by playing on the Ouija board but this time-to their horror-they release an evil ghost who proceeds to kill everyone around them and unless they can give its body a proper burial, they will become its victim as well. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was a fairly routine horror film which lacked enough suspense or gore to really distinguish it from any number of similar ghost movies. Admittedly, having two attractive actresses like Iza Calzado and Rhian Ramos certainly helped to some extent but even so it wasn't enough for me to rate this film any higher than I have. Slightly below average.
