As the headline suggests, I'm speechless and not in a good way. I don't even know where to began, this is the first piece of cinema that I can sincerely say I was unable to find one positive element out of its entirety. My cinema professor used to say that there was only one movie during his entire profession that he wasn't able to watch to completion. I requested that he give this movie a try and when I asked for his thoughts during our next class meeting, he ignored me (wouldn't even look in my direction) and at the end of class he said that he would be adding this movie to his list.
The title is peculiar considering they adopted many washed up and cliche horror themes and story elements in the film and yet decided to incorporate only one of those underlying themes/elements with the 'blood ritual' title. This movie could have simply been called "Blood Ritual" and yet, the title includes "Ouija"; one could easily infer that the word "Ouija" was included in the title in attempts to establish this low budget indie film with the already established and profitable Ouija film series released by Universal. In other words, this entire film felt like one big gimmick designed to draw in cash from the non-expecting and blissfully unaware movie goer who thinks that they are about to watch an installment of the established Ouija film series.
It's also noteworthy that the only 9/10 review left on this movie has a 2018 post date and the movie was released in mid-2020; so either, someone has a time machine and travelled into the future just to watch this abomination of a film or someone with a connection to the film left a high rating review (during development/pre-production stage) while incorporating some criticism in their writing in an attempt to fool potential watchers of said abominable film.
I'm a live and let live type of person and I don't really believe in telling other people how they should live their lives, but life is precious and because of that I'm begging you.....please don't waste your precious time watching this movie like I did. Learn from my mistakes. Godspeed.
