![]() ![]() ![]() all and all just about every element of this film was a let down, from the screenplay to the direction and the fact that the film is even remotely being praised because of it's homage to it's cigarette burn on the film and opening title card featuring roman numerals is not enough to redeem this disappointment in film form. I genuinely found myself laughing of bordem during this film especially since the mother's source of the Ouija board was at a Cafe/Diner and people's reactions to some of the events in the film were over the top on some of the minor character's behalves. I'd recommend Conjuring 2 before i'd even remotely consider recommending this crock of crap. The film is a prequel to the 2014 film Ouija and stars Elizabeth Reaser, Annalise Basso, and Henry Thomas. The acting is OKAY but it's pathetic character arcs and the character's non existent personalities give the actors little to work with. Ouija: Origin of Evil is a 2016 American supernatural horror film directed and edited by Mike Flanagan and written by Flanagan and Jeff Howard. The beauty of this film is that you don't have to retain any information from the previous scene because they just blurt out exposition during any moment of plot development anyway. The reason I bothered to mention their dad died recently is because they mention his departure a lot, in every scene in fact. Unlike Lights Out (that had a few elements of originality)'Ouija: Origin of Evil' follows a Mother who is running a scam fortune telling business and her two daughters who lost their dad recently.

That being said, it's a nice move for Ouija: Origin of Evil to link back to the first movie, so putting the sequence at the end of the credits really is a good move.This movie is phenomenal if you consider, cliché and horror stereotypes some sort of revelation. Even just thinking about the end of the film and the final scene it's pretty easy to see how jarring it would be. It certainly has become popular in the film industry to use post-credits scenes to wrap up loose ends and tease the future (Marvel Studios being largely responsible for the trend), and in this case it definitely works. And so we experimented by moving it after the credits and that felt appropriate. It felt strange in the edit, and I think it's because we were so immersed in that time period and those characters, that to put us into a contemporary setting with a familiar face - and Lin is familiar to every fan of the genre - but to kind of take it away from the period that we had cultivated so much, it just felt strange. We ended up moving it because the movie felt like it was over, and the shift in time at that point just felt uncomfortable. The sequence was originally simply the end of the movie, but when they started showing the movie to people they got the wrong impression based on the fact that Lin Shaye is a fan favorite in the horror genre. I asked about the inclusion of the post-credits tag, and the director told me that the scene was actually moved partially to avoid confusion. Mike Flanagan told me this humorous story earlier this month when I had the pleasure of talking with him over the phone in advance of Ouija: Origin of Evil's theatrical release. Unfortunately, this wasn't entirely clear to some test audiences who got to see an early cut of Ouija: Origin Of Evil, as they believed that the film was trying to connect the series with another horror franchise: specifically Insidious. Picking up a good 50 years after the very end of the movie, a shot reconnects audiences with mental hospital patient Lina Zander, who has grown older and is played by Lin Shaye, as she was in the 2014 film. While most of writer/director Mike Flanagan's Ouija: Origin of Evil is kept distant from its predecessor - set decades before the events in the first Ouija - the sequel does connect the two stories with its post-credits sequence.
