'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
This movie is not horror. This is by far the WORST "horror" movie I have ever had the displeasure of seeing. Mediocre acting, mediocre lighting, cast, lines, storyline, and horrible development of characters and overall plot. I could act better than this crap. I haven't even acted a day in my life. Seriously? How does this even get released. I'm so ticked my boyfriend spent money renting this. The audio gets louder and quieter on its own. Who ever wrote this and released this should be embarrassed. I am livid. Please, don't rent this. It's only a major disappointment. I usually give movies leeway. I'm not a tough critic at all. If this movie angered me to the point to come on here and write a bad review, it's terrible. Don't waste your time. And I can't even include a "spoiler" because there is nothing in here worth even bringing up. Lighting changes in the middle of a scene. That's worth spoiling. Horrible story short, it sucked. It sucked so much. Don't WASTE YOUR TIME PR MONEY. Just trying to save you a couple bucks.
Not that I expected anything good but the Ouija Exorcism is possibly the worst film I've seen in 2015. Badly made and filled with the most worn out clichés, there is no climax whatsoever. No tension or suspense. The dialogs are simply tedious and I found myself deadly bored after no more than 20 minutes from the credits. The special effects are discouraging, even the sound. The only merit is perhaps having addressed the mysterious Jewish tradition of exorcism but this (like the whole Ouija theme) is only sketched and looks more like a pretext to show scenes from ordinary people's life... with occasional killing.
Not only is this the scariest movie I have ever seen, but every single actor and actress should get an academy award for their acting skills. MLG 10/10 There are many things I could do with 85 minutes of my time, but nothing beats watching this awesome amazing movie. I might just put this on repeat because I've never seen a better movie in my 24 years of living. If we were to make a time capsule for future generations , the only thing that we would need is a copy of this movie and a wax figurine of Donald Trump. I hope that movies like this will pave the way for future directors to show how movies should be made. The Ouija Exorcism is a gripping horror movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat at all times.
