Ouija

Published: Nov. 12, 2021, 6 p.m.

That board game you played during high school sleepovers gets a movie made about it! As thrilling as a Dream Phone movie would be, this movie is (un)fortunately about Ouija boards. Feeling more like a vehicle to sell more board games at Target than putting together a plot-driven movie at times, Ouija attempts to tell the story of a girl investigating the mysterious death of her best friend.

With plot elements of a board that can't be destroyed, inconsistent ghostly abilities, and unconvincing adults acting as teenagers, this movie leaves a lot to be desired but gives a whole lot to talk about.
