Review of Ouija: Origin of Evil (2016) by Mahmus — 29 Oct 2020
I've always found Mike Flanagan's movies to be quite overrated, and this movie is for me the best example for why I think that.
It's just a bland and unmemorable movie. Never really scary and only ocassionally creepy. It has some good ideas but is held back by having to expand on the lore of its awful predecessor. I like the look and the style of it, but I just wished it offered more than a well made but generic story.
It starts strong but quickly descents into pure over the top horror loudness. It reminded me a lot of The Conjuring (another well-liked horror film that I'm not a big fan of for similar reasons).
Most of Flanagan's movies I've seen are ok at best.
I just think his work is not for me.
