It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
The acting in this movie is really good.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
So the movie starts out assuming the first installment was a box office hit. Everyone is literally losing their minds at some convention with the actors.I watched the first one maybe like a year ago, along with 4 other movies of the same title and plot, so first I had to figure out who was who.After we watch stuttering Sally botch an already botched question, we delve a little into her character development. According to dialogue in the script she is weird and reserved, according to assumption shes an actor straight out of a B-List acting academy. She befriends some popular kids from her college (establishing a high-schoolesque hierarchy). There's the blonde popular one who wants to befriend the outsider, the standard gay friend who is snarky and talks about boys 24/7, and like 2 other girls who have maybe a line. They all get tickets to the big even hosted by the actors, and then we don't see them for 60 minutes.After they run around trying to set scene and make character connections that fall flat, we learn of some sort of history behind Ouija boards. Which is false information, and they back it up by the common myth that Ouija boards are gateways for demons.To keep it simply, like 2 people die, I forgot how cause I got distracted (which isn't hard during this blockbuster fiasco), but apparently it wasn't memorable.After awhile of the same situations and bland dialogue that drags around with no endgame, we meet some crazy cop. The cop is a small town cop so obviously he's mysterious, creeping, and having adult relations with a relative (it's mentioned in the movie, trust me). Because small towns are full of weirdos and no one normal would live anywhere past the city limits of Los Angeles, of course.Near the beginning of the event starting, we see the token black friend womanizer getting cozy with some girls, which we assume are random girls. Come to find out they are the girls (and standard gay friend) that received the ticket! Man, they sure stood out!During the tour, someone smokes pot and drinks (as that rebel character does in all B-List horror flicks) and makes someone mad. Then we find one of the main character cut in half.The rest of the movie is basically the weird girl and the popular girl running around from the murderer and ghost. The movie decides to wrap up with an unfinished ending (not a cliffhanger mind you). And I was left with 3 finished martinis, and a headache.The credits roll with names we never heard of, and probably never will.
I am not sure if it was deliberately poking fun at bad horror movies or was just plain actually bad, but I laughed a lot. The dialog was so corny, the characters were so goofy and the effects were so bad, it was really hilarious - even if unintentionally so. I have a feeling it was intentionally bad though, because the characters often say things about trying to avoid the stereotypes of being in a horror movie. Some of these "breaking the fourth wall" moments are very funny!The womanizing character, even though he often seems to simply ad-lib his lines, was an absolute hoot! And the bad guy at the end describing his "sad" life with his over-the-top acting almost had me in tears laughing. And there were actually some genuine scares. When one girl drops her keys and phone in a scary place and has to retrieve them, it was not only funny but quite scary! The part with the guy who could only see the monster with his special glasses on was truly frightening. Tons of plot holes, bad dialog, poor effects and things that make you go "huh?", but it's a fun movie to watch with friends over, if you are watching on Netflix.
I watched the first film, and while it wasn't good, it wasn't awful, either. Their bit about Oujia boards was complete garbage, but it was mildly entertaining. This film, we lose any charisma the characters might have had in the first film, stripping them of any personality and leaving only the most annoying traits of the character archetype they represent. One thing I have to mention, why did the 'actor' Eric Window have the comb in his hair during the movie? It was so incredibly annoying. Anytime he was on screen, I could only stare at the comb and wish for his character's bloody and painful death. I say 'actor' because there was no acting in this film. Calling it acting is an insult to high school plays everywhere. The actor who played the friend of the girl who wins tickets is so painfully bad I hope this was just a lark for him and not a potential career. There isn't anything scary, the script is an embarrassment, and the performances were so bad, you have to hope it was intentional. If you liked any of the characters in the first movie, just wait, you will hate them in minutes of starting this film. Horror movies are often lacking in several ways, so I tend to review them on a more lenient scale. One star for this movie is as generous as I can get. While I wouldn't necessarily recommend the first, as it also had some secondary actors (the expert on the Ouija board is pretty cringe-worthy) lacking skill, the main characters were okay, if not the most likable people in the world, I definitely wouldn't recommend this addition. It does not have any redeeming qualities. Sometimes, you can survive a bad horror movie by making a drinking game out of it. Unless you want liver failure, you can't even try it with this movie. Maybe I am being too critical, but if you put a product into the market with such low quality and no pretense of an effort, I have trouble being diplomatic. I hope no one associated with this movie continues in this field. Horror movies generally are lower budget, which means creativity and ingenuity are essential, and this movie had neither.
I've seen the first one. I wasn't expecting much. Ouija Experiment is pretty much the worst found footage ever made, but even that needs SOME skills.This movie is just as bad as Birdemic. Sound editing is choppy and disgusting, acting is ridiculous, directing is EXACTLY like Birdemic. This makes The Room look like a masterpiece. Don't even get me started on the "special effects"... I've done better when I was 14 and shooting a zombie flick with my MiniDV camera with my friends back in 2005.The story is just as laughable. I've seen episodes of GhostHunters with more believable content than this movie. I was mad, angered that an art that I respect so much was being DESTROYED right in front of my eyes.
