The Ouija Experiment

Friends get together, friends play with Ouija board, friends let demons out, friends die, and luckily they get it all on tape! Astonishing! The usual Ouija board fare. The main problem is these friends fight a lot and they forget to say goodbye to the spirits which leaves them in our world instead of where they're supposed to be. The one character who brings a little comedy to it all is the philanderer boyfriend who texted and flirts right under his girl friends nose. It was a little silly to me; but my nephew jumped a few times and seemed to like it. I wouldn't waste money on renting this one. Wait till it's on the prime list or something.

This little indie flick proves that you can deliver intense scares with a minuscule budget and minimal CGI. I knew as the movie progressed that this was going to be one of my all-time favorite found footage films, a generally hit or miss horror subgenre. The plot is just what you’d expect; a group of friends gets together and messes with a board while one friend films it. Right off the bat, anyone who has used a Ouija board will appreciate the authenticity of the movement of the planchette: the way it begins to take on a life of its own, the frantic patterns it seems to follow, and the moments when it’s going so fast it kind of jumps out from under your fingers.We meet a refreshingly diverse and likable group. After their characters and relationships are set up through some lighthearted, funny exchanges, we get right into the Ouija action. And that’s where the slow burn begins. There’s a natural buildup to the eventual unleashing of a malevolent spirit. When the evil finally escapes, the tension and terror totally spikes. This is some of the best use of camera POV to deliver jump scares and ghost appearances that I’ve seen yet in a found footage film. It really rivals most of the visual shocks in the Paranormal Activity franchise.And speaking of, director Israel Luna is well aware of his inspirations for the film and makes sure the characters reference them: The Entity, Paranormal Activity, Witchboard (including a funny reference to the Whitesnake connection). There’s even what seems to be a wink to The Blair Witch Project involving someone standing in a corner. Creepy.As with most found footage films, you can expect a few instances of questionable continuity. Why, for instance, does one chick seem doubtful of one of the guys having seen ghosts after she had a major ghost confrontation herself…which she doesn’t even mention? And there’s the usual pondering of why they never put down the camera—but here, they are pretty much intent on documenting what’s happening and don’t particularly believe the ghosts mean them harm because they think they’ve befriended them through the Ouija board.The series of ghost sequences in the second half of the movie are brilliantly handled. I nearly peed myself a few times. And eventually, we get a flashback segment showing the malevolent ghost’s motivation, which is like a short horror film in itself, complete with a great little twist. And the surprises don’t stop coming until the very end of the movie.Sure, it’s a found footage flick and a Ouija board flick, but the exclamation point at the conclusion of The Ouija Experiment reminds us that it is also one hell of a ghost story.

I enjoyed the first half of this film. Interesting story, good acting, believable paranormal contact. Then the second half went off the rails completely. Spoilers ahead aware: You find your brother murdered and possessed and you just leave and don't call the police, wtf? You have a way of immediately ending the carnage and you don't right then burn the board right away, wtf? Ghosts wielding butcher knives, really, wtf? A lot of potential brought down by an implausible second half.

We frequently have "bad horror movie nights," as my wife gets scared a lot more easily than I do and hates gore, but loves found footage. Ouija Experiment was one of the films we watched during one of those evenings, and it is so bad that it's almost good. The acting is sub-par and it's definitely a cliché of the genre, but it was good for a few small jump scares and to giggle at together. Worth a watch if you're in the mood for a "so bad it's good" film (and if you have prime), but definitely not worth a purchase in my opinion.

It was OK overall. Worth a watch. Not terribly scary if you don't mess with Ouija boards. If you do, maybe you will learn something from this movie. Maybe you will be too scared to even try to begin with.

I liked it. It had a lot of jumpy parts and was pretty creepy. I was entertained and very impressed how good it was for low budget. I actually screamed a few times. It's definitely entertaining. It made me feel like I was actually there with the actors. It seemed candid and real.

A little predictable but a good movie to watch at night when youre a bedridden person like myself so I watch a LOT of movies..plus I like the girl (the dark haired one main character bc she is also the girl from Bates Motel who wears the oxygen tank that is Normans friend.

It was a decent movie but was not as good as I expected. I am a horror movie fan and this movie just didn't give me the scare factor I expected after seeing the commercials for it.

loved the film great thankyou for a good service on all my purchases

Hatte den Trailer zu dem Film gesehen und hatte mich dadurch sehr auf den Film gefreut,aber leider wurde die Freude dann sehr enttäscht. Der Film ist dermaßen langweilig, dassich doch sehr damit zukämpfen hatte nicht einzuschlafen.Der Film ist im Stil von Filmen wie Blair Witch Projekt usw. gedreht, was ja nichts schlechtesist, denn den Film z.B. mag ich sehr gerne, aber Das Ouija Experiment kann da absolut nichtmithalten. Die Schauspieler sind einfach nur schlecht und kommeneinem richtig fehl am Platzvor.Aus der Story des Filmes hatte man wirklich was machen können, aber leider ist es nicht gelungen.Dem Film fehlen auch die richtigen Schoch-und Horrormomente, auf die man leider vergebens wartet

Ich habe mir von diesem Film zu viel versprochen.Die guten Kundenbewertungen müssen gekauft worden sein.Der Film hat die schlechsteste Synchronisation, die ich jemals gesehen habe.Das Thema und die Handlung fand ich gar nicht schlecht, aber von der Verfilmung bin ich enttäuscht.Klassische Story aber keine gute Filmqualität.Schade!

Mir hat der Film nicht so gut gefallen, Ich fand ihn sehr langweilig. Habe mir mehr versprochen. Ist so ähnlich gemacht wie Paranoral Activiti. Wem der Film gefällt der wird auch den mögen. Es passiert ewig nichts und in den letzten Minuten das alles.

Hey Baby;ach Baby;willst du meinen Luxusbody?;du bist heiss,Baby-was soll der Quasch?Ist das nun ein Horrorfilm oder ein angedeuteter Sexstreifen?Schade um die blöden Dialoge,denn die Story ist nicht schlecht
