Review of The Ouija Experiment (2011) by Nell A — 25 Mar 2017

The problem with this film is that it wasn't particularly memorable, nor does it have an entry on Wikipedia, so the fact I can't recall a great deal about it to write a review is not an encouraging sign.

From the title you can easily guess what it's about - A group of friends come across a Ouija Board and decide to contact the dead. Ultimately they have success, but forgot the basic rule of remembering to say goodbye at the end of the session, thus enabling the souls of the deceased to re-enter the world.

A few of the group die as they go about their everyday life, leaving the remaining members addicted to the board to try to understand the root of the problem, and how to overcome their worsening situation.

Towards the end, we see the back story to how the spirits behind the board came about their miserly disappearance, and learn the truth as to who is the mystery assailant responsible for the recent case or murders.

It's not really very scary for today's standard's, and the fact that it's filmed through the third person camera view is frustrating, annoying, and quite degrading of the films overall quality.

The acting is pretty shocking, and if I were to set up a hidden camera amongst my group of friends, I expect you'd get a similar level of entertainment from re-watching that. It takes low budget even lower, and the fact that this has apparently spawned a sequel is beyond belief.

I guess if I had to be positive, it did flow reasonably well, and to a degree it saved its best moments till last, but there is nothing to shout about here, other than it has definitely encouraged me to still never mess with Ouija Boards.
