Plot
Film student Brandon and four friends play with a Ouija board, unwittingly opening a portal to the spirit world and a drowned girl's deadly mystery.
Cast
Unfamiliar with anyone involved.
Verdict
Oh dear, where exactly do you start with a film of this caliber?
To be clear yes the concept is friends use a ouija board, and before you can say "This is a stupid idea" weird things are happening and they're being picked off by an unseen force. The force unseen of course because they don't actually have the budget to show anything.
Full of unlikable obnoxious characters, a non-existent plot and a runtime featuring pretty much nothing happening this is an abyssal movie.
Rants
Would I use a ouija board? No, it's a childrens game.
Would I be worried about the supernatural risks? No, I'm an adult with a fully functioning brain.
There's no such thing as ghosts, nor demons nor anything else going bump in the night. Engage with reality!
Breakdown
Seen it all before Dreadful characters Nothing happens.

This is a new release on Netflix as of this writing.
At the very beginning of the movie it states "the film you are about to see is based on true events". If you do not know what that means for a feature movie, please look it up.
I gave this movie a low rating due to: -Atrocious acting from all main characters -No complexity or depth for any characters for you to build any connection or sympathy for them -Run of the mill horror film scare tactics, nothing new here
The only things I liked about the movie were a couple of comedic internet meme references and a "revelation" scene towards the end that was shot with back story characters. The actors in this scene performed much better than the main character actors and it was as if it was filmed by a different director and crew. Too bad that only lasted a few minutes of the movie instead of its duration.
I do not recommend adding to your watch list.

This movie is terrible. Please do not try to watch it even if you find it for free. Trust me, it's not worthy of your time. There's no such thing as a story, the acting is terrible and the directing couldn't probably be any worse than it is now.
Basically, this movie has no production value whatsoever. It's shot inside two apartments with a dslr or a cheap camcorder (maybe even iphone) and the visual quality is lower than a youtube production.
I wouldn't be surprised that much if I watched this on youtube but I can't understand how netflix said yes to this nonsense?
You could grab your Galaxy S6 or Iphone 6 plus and shoot a much better movie than this one, I guarantee you. Stay a million miles away.

"The Ouija Experiment" is one of the worst horror movies ever released on DVD. The film is amateurish with awful and low quality camera work using handycam and boring. The screenplay is ridiculous, with a stupid story. The characters are laughable: one shallow young woman that shags her boyfriend that is a wolf and gives a Rolex to him; the wolf himself that only wants to shag women all the time; his sister, maybe the most reasonable character; his friend that wants to play with a Ouija board with the three previous mentioned imbecile characters; and the student of cinema that wants to film the group to increase his Blog traffic. The direction and performances are amateurish. If the viewer rent this DVD and watch until the end, the result will be waste of time and money. My vote is two.
Title (Brazil): "Ouija: Onde Tudo Começou" ("Ouija: Where Everything Has Begun")

Before watching this movie, I looked up the IMDb rating. I knew it was low, but I've seen movies with low ratings before and they were still fun to watch. So I thought, I should give this movie a go, even though it was bad.
Worst decision of my life.
This movie is the definition of boredom. Nothing happens, literally nothing happens. The only action I enjoyed watching, were the credits rolling at the end of this 'movie'. This movie rates a 10 on horror if it comes to acting. I didn't even know people were capable of acting in such a way, that my eyes hurt just watching it. But apparently they can. I would start about the bad plot, but there isn't one to begin with, so there's is no point going there.
I would say this movie is just plain rubbish, but rubbish, in some way, has value. This movie doesn't.
On the other hand, I'm very happy that I watched this movie. I can enjoy the little things in life now. For example, I can enjoy waiting for 40 minutes on the bus, watching the grass in my garden grow and waiting for my driver-license at the DMV since they don't bore me as much anymore, since I watched this movie.
So if you're easily bored, go watch this movie! You'll enjoy life afterwards, otherwise, stay away.
