Trying to operate their illegal scam service, a widow and her teenage daughters running fake seances for rich clients find themselves in real trouble when an innocent game with an ouija board turns into a nightmare when they unleash a terrible evil and must stop it before it takes her over.This was quite a fun and thrilling supernatural effort. What really gives this one a lot to like is the rather strong and striking action played out throughout the film. The opening seance scene where the off-screen noises and shadows around the room lead to a belief in the supernatural that eventually turns out to be a part of their scam service gives this a strong start, while there's more to like about the way this one targets the daughters as the haunting scenes grow far more dangerous throughout the film. Many of these occur through the seance scenes that are placed in here, which allows this to take full advantage of its premise with the kids playing with the board on several occasions in brief, rather fun spurts to help sell their supernatural plight. Adding to the scares is the rather heartwarming factor brought into play when they realize the true nature of their ghostly visitors coming along to help them as the scene where they all see the game-play by itself and see what's been going on the entire time. By the time it changes into the more deadly and dangerous setups later on, they generate more of an impression as the frantic scenes of her getting manipulated by the ghosts in her room, the disfigurement dream she has with her sister and the series of behavioral outbursts that slowly seem to suggest something is happening to them. Once it really throws the idea of the possession into full-force, this becomes much more fun with the events inside the basement at the end which are a lot of fun and manage to really work out some fun ideas, from the revelation of the house's history and how the daughter connects to it all to the chilling supernatural action that occurs in the basement which gives this a really frantic finale. While these here work nicely for the film, it does have a few rather prominent flaws. The main issue here is the fact that there's just not a whole lot of interest in what happens in the first half. The fact that this one goes through the idea of their scam business and then moves on to their other plight really doesn't leave this one with a whole lot of interest as it simply drags on far longer than it really should. Some of the problems are based on the fact that very little of what happens here is really all that scary, as this is content to have her worry about her imaginary friends and play with the board which doesn't generate any kind of real thrills. This does lead to a longer start-up that expected and gives this a longer running time than what should really be required here. As well, the film's rating doesn't really let it go the type of extremes this could've generated as many of the scenes are the typical type found here and don't really generate much else here beyond these jump- scare setups. Beyond these issues, it doesn't have a lot else wrong.Rated PG-13: Violence, Language and children-in-jeopardy.

First of all let me just say that I absolutely loved the individual performances. I loved them! Elizabeth Reaser, Annalise Basso and Lulu Wilson were all flawless and carried the movie brilliantly. Each bringing their own unique personality to the film made it so much better than it would have been otherwise.Also, let's not even compare it to the previous movies in the franchise. This one takes the lead with no competition in sight. Still, as with so many horror and thrillers recently, the ending lacked conviction. Not only that, but when the story starts unfolding you might find yourself rolling your eyes to the same clichéd jump scares, dialog and story telling.That said, this definitely deserves a viewing. It won't disappoint and will even give you some nice scares through the ride. Just don't go into it expecting something unique or unexpected story wise and you'll be fine. If nothing else, you'll come out loving the actors!

This film deals with the demonic possession of children from a Ouija Board.This movie had many unrealistic things happening in it, such as the planchette moving around on the ouija board without anyone touching it, Doris's mouth hanging wide open, Doris dying in an unexplained way all of a sudden at the end. When you think that there was going to be a happy or bittersweet ending, all of a sudden, it turns out to be a sad ending.Some of the characters were annoying, such as the bratty teenage girl and the bullies who intimidate Doris at school. There are some similarities between this and Annabelle: Creation, both are prequels, both star Lulu Wilson, both are a bit better in other peoples' opinions than the mediocre sequels were. But I also found an interesting comparison I found at is that Lulu Wilson's character in both movies hate boys. Doris's character gets bullied by boys in Ouija 2 and Linda's character in Annabelle refuses to talk about boys.The rest of the characters were fine, but they couldn't even save this movie. The movie just killed them off and I'd rather for Lina to not be in this movie because she was so bratty, if she was a lot nicer and sweeter, I would've not minded her being in this movie.The acting, otherwise, is the best thing about the movie. Everyone did a great job portraying the emotions of their characters and not coming off as wooden in their acting skills.Verdict: This movie is contrived, clichéd, and forced. It's not much different from your average horror film. It's got the same cliché, sweet innocent youngest girl getting possessed. Don't expect anything groundbreaking from this film.
