I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

'The Ouija Exorcism' drew me into seeing it, with a cool poster/cover, an intriguing if not particularly original premise and as someone with a general appreciation for horror. That it was low-budget, which from frequent personal experience is rarely a good sign due to that there are so many poor ones out there, made me though apprehensive as well as the low rating and poor reviews. It is sadly however yet another film seen recently, hence some reiteration because the exact same strengths and flaws those films have are present here, that to me was incredibly disappointing considering its potential which it doesn't do anywhere near enough with. 'The Ouija Exorcism' is terrible, with a plethora of problems (huge ones too) and doesn't do enough with its potential, which was hardly small. There is really nothing to recommend.'The Ouija Exorcism' does have some occasionally spooky but mostly overly-simple scenery, which is the only thing the film has going for it.Unfortunately, it's shot and edited so poorly, looking like a school project shot on a shaky camera or a phone by an unsteady hand, and the drab colour palette. It was very clear that the film was made in a rush with no care or enthusiasm. In particular, the camera work was a nauseous assault on the eyes with its excessive amateurish-ness. Going on further to the negatives, the story does feel paper thin, disjointed and over-stretched and some of it feels vague, under-explained in the last third where the film especially became duller, more predictable, more senseless and less scary. Too many characters are too sketchy and with nowhere near enough to make one want to endear to them. Their annoying and illogical decision making and behaviours frustrates and are overdone.Making the film feel bland and forgettable with not enough heart put into it. The effects are ropy at best, the sound quality is obvious and utilised cheaply (being too loud in the build ups and people's reactions) and it's best not mentioning the uniformly lumbering and histrionic acting that shows a huge indifference to the situation and what is going on and extremely awkward prolonged pauses.Dialogue can be stilted and rambling, with lots of clichés, lots of unintentional humour that makes some of the film play like a really bad spoof and no depth whatsoever, while the pace goes to a standstill very quickly and drags on forever with very little going on worth caring about and useless padding, never recovering. Found too many the supposedly shocking moments not surprising or scary and the supposedly creepy atmosphere dreary, due to the excessive obviousness, a lot of dumb and vague moments and explanations and the lack of tension and suspense. Would not have minded the lack of originality (the film is extremely derivative and in a dumbed and watered down way) if the story and atmosphere were at least alright in execution, in reality they were both incredibly poorly done.A lot of 'The Ouija Exorcism' has underdeveloped plot elements and often nonsensical and confusing character motivations, while too many of the things to make you jump or shocked are far from creative or scary and are pretty tame. The ending makes the film finish on an incomplete and confused whimper and the film often fails to make sense, at worst it's incomprehensible.There is not enough threat, and what there is of it tends to be used poorly, it is completely unimaginative and more odd than creepy, completely failing to show any sense of horror or creativity. Everything here is neither creative, suspenseful or nail-biting. Some badly sagging momentum too. The direction is leaden and like their heart was not in it or ill at ease, with the chemistry between the characters and actors coming over as constantly random and aggressive with the subtlety of an axe. This is very dreary and amateurish stuff that fails to be scary, interesting or easy to follow.To conclude, terrible. 1/10 Bethany Cox

I honestly don't know if the director was purposely trying to make the biggest pile of crap anyone has ever seen. If so he succeeded greatly. Right from the start you immediately notice how terrible the acting is. Plus every new actor introduced throughout this waste of time is equally as bad. It never gets any better. The special effects are anything but special, which I can understand if it is a low budget film but even being low budget they could of had some decent acting. This film fails in so many ways. If you are looking for something to do with your family then you're better off making popcorn, painting a square on the wall and Watching it dry. At least you will get some satisfaction of seeing a freshly painted wall. There is no satisfaction watching this movie. I give it 1 star out of 10 only because the cover art is really good.

Ignoring the cretinous and obvious 'shill review' here asking that the actors get Oscars (if they're being 'ironic', they failed badly), I can agree with most reviews here that this is a pretty dire film. I can agree with the shill that 'The Academy' should indeed recognise this film if only to make sure that all involved, cast and crew at ALL levels of this steaming pile of horse manure are never allowed near a film set, word processor or production studio again until they die. From what is a reasonable premise the film rapidly descends into utter nonsense, and dreadfully poorly acted and scripted nonsense at that. All in all a hideous mess. If you're looking for Halloween scares you won't find them here.

Don't be fooled by the title, this is in no way a horror. It's basically footage of several people bickering about suburban life while occasionally mentioning ouija. The only slight horror is repetitive "waking up with nightmare" cliché and the rest is a completely atrocious soap opera.In a very agonizing story filled with tedious moment, one after another, audience will be introduced to series of barren characters. Everything is flawed, the visual lacks consistent lighting, audio is plagued with echoes and dialogues are entirely tiresome. The so called horror is so little, it's virtually three to five minutes of random noises and people trying to photobomb the scenes.At a point I stopped and reflected, "What am I doing with my life?" It's so dull, it depressed me. Hence, the two stars instead of one.
