Ouija

CHASE *1/2
Most horror films that have come out in recent history have a terrible track record with critics and the public.  "Ouija" is no different.  The story is about a group of teenagers who find an Ouija board that may have been the source of their friend's suicide.  They believe they are communicating with an actual spirit through the game who may or may not have caused it.  One of the problems with the movie is the fact that for a horror movie, there's hardly anything scary in it.  It is filled with so many fake jump scares that there's hardly any tension throughout the entire movie.  The cast of characters is completely forgettable and consists of mostly stereotypical teenagers.  Plus, it doesn't help that a certain plot twist near the end of the film doesn't make any sense.  The only positive things I will add, though, is the actress who played the main character (Olivia Cooke) isn't half bad and it's a well shot film.  Overall, this is a boring horror film and if you're looking for a movie to scare you, this is definitely not the one for you.
