    Just Awful

    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.

    Bad movie to relay one important message, never leave your Ouija board without saying goodbye!

    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.

    The Ouija Experiment: Why are the vast majority of Ouija films terrible?

    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.

    Amateurish and Laughable

    "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")

    Negative one million stars

    This isn't just the worst movie ever produced by people this is the worst thing ever recorded in human history. Found film shaky cam no script acting or direction. Quite literally, there is no script or directions AT ALL. A red light camera has more artistic content. Russian dashcam video is more polished. Vines of getting hit in the nads is better. YouTube ghetto rat fist fights in the parking lot of Popeye's Chicken is better. If you gave a cell phone to any random 15 year old and told them to record whatever they wanted, come back tomorrow thanks, you'd get this. It's not enough that found film shakeycam should be beaten to death and set on fire

    No. Something like this comes along and makes you hope for a meteor to hit the earth and kill us all.

    • Trivia
      While only ever having spawned one official sequel, The Ouija Experiment 2: Theatre of Death (2015), the German distribution company Great Movies went on to give the "Ouija Experiment" title to several more unrelated horror movies, namely: -The Ouija Exorcism (2015), renamed to "Das Ouija Experiment 3: Der Exorzismus" [The Ouija Experiment 3: The Exorcism] -Ouija Summoning / You Will Kill (2015), renamed to "Das Ouija Experiment 4: Dead in the Woods" -Ouija 3: The Charlie Charlie Challenge / Charlie Charlie (2016), renamed to "Ouija Experiment 5: Das Spiel" [Ouija Experiment 5: The Game] -Jonah Lives / The Ouija Possession (2015), renamed to "Das Ouija Experiment 6: Das Erwachen des Bösen" [The Ouija Experiment 6: The Awakening of Evil] The company also released a DVD collection called "Das Ouija Experiment - Teil 1-9: Das Geheimnis des teuflischen Spiels" [The Ouija Experiment - Part 1-9: The Secret of the Evil Game], which includes the two original movies, the four renamed movies listed above (partially renamed yet again), as well as Evangeline (2013), renamed to "Ouija - Rache aus dem Jenseits" [Ouija - Revenge from Beyond], and two more unidentified movies named "Das Geheimnis des Rabenspieles" [The Secret of the Crow Game] - presumably from 2008 - and "Teuflisches Puppenspiel" [Diabolical Puppet Show] - presumably from 2011.
