Ouija: A New Beginning

I guess they were not able to copyright the basic name and concept of Ouija, so just like when Amityville became a hit there were official sequels but even more knock offs or mockbusters, this is clearly a mockbuster exploiting the popularity of the official 2 films produced by Universal Pictures and Hasbro.

Whoever did the sounds n music for this should never work again! Constant, loud noises, cracks, bangs n shower noises! It's irritating AF! And it looks like it was made in 2005 not 2025! The footsteps are super loud n it all sounds so off putting! The girls are great in it.

It honestly sounds like the movie is being filmed next to a 4th grade music class when the teacher has left the room and they are just messing around! Wooden blocks being his together, a bass drum banging n awful sudden bursts of really loud crappy Orchestra music! It annoyed me throughout the whole movie, sometimes silence is a lot scarier!

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!

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.

'Ouija: A New Beginning' is downright hysterical to watch. If you need a 'so bad it is good' film, this is a perfect option. You will be laughing at so many of the bizarre filmmaking choices on display.

The sound effects in this are hilariously terrible, as this one piece repeats constantly throughout scenes. You get to hear an obnoxious 'dun-dun' sound frequently and it even drowns out the dialogue at points. Certain scenes had incredibly obvious dubbing as well.

Every single performance was phenomenally terrible. They all deliver the poorly-written dialogue in such campy ways. The narrative is horrendous and attempts to create a 'clever' twist that is thoroughly silly.

The cinematography and editing is absolutely ridiculous, even for a more amateur production. This is a great 'so bad it is good' film to watch with friends.
