SEANCE BOARD GAME MOVIE

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. 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. 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, awkward and histrionic acting that shows a huge indifference to the situation and what is going on. Making the film feel bland and forgettable with not enough heart put into it. Their annoying and illogical decision making and behaviours frustrates and are overdone. Too many characters are too sketchy and with nowhere near enough to make one want to endear to them. 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. In particular, the camera work was a nauseous assault on the eyes with its excessive amateurish-ness and the lighting is far too dark and a lot of the time inappropriately so. It was very clear that the film was made in a rush with no care or enthusiasm. 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 and overly-dark colours. There is really nothing to recommend other than the scenery not being as cheap as the rest of the film. 'Ouija Séance: The Final Game' is terrible, with a plethora of problems (huge ones too) and doesn't do enough with its potential, which was hardly small. Yet another film seen recently unfortunately, 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. 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 here. 'Ouija Séance: The Final Game' moderately 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.

SEANCE BOARD GAME MOVIE

Some of us suffered through this ordeal of a movie so the rest of you don't have to. All in all, 'Ouija Seance: The Final Game' is not an impressive horror movie, and as an avid horror fan, I have a lifetime of movies with me in my backpack. As for the special effects in 'Ouija Seance: The Final Game' were adequate, although you shouldn't set yourself up for something out of this world. And it didn't really help that the characters were mundane, generic cardboard cutouts that just milled about like lemmings, doing things that often made little sense in a situation like the one they were in.

So don't get your hopes up for something spectacular here. The acting in the movie was every bit as rigid and unimpressive as the storyline and plot. And that hardly worked in favor of the movie. The storyline was nothing extraordinary and actually had surprisingly little to do with a ouija board at all, so the title of movie is sort of misleading. But after all, it is a horror movie and it could happen to be the movie that breaks the slump of less than mediocre movies, you know? But it wasn't. The recent tirade of Ouija movies haven't exactly been spectacular, and that should have been an obvious indication of what to expect here.
