Ouija: Origin of Evil
In 1967 Los Angeles, a widowed mother and her two daughters add a new stunt to bolster their séance scam business and unwittingly invite authentic evil into their home. When the youngest daughter is overtaken by the merciless spirit, this small family confronts unthinkable fears to save her and send her possessor back to the other side.
Critics Sentiment
Doris becomes fully possessed and writes in Polish
Lina institutionalized, creates blood Ouija board in hospital
The film drops dramatically from its atmospheric peak during Doris's possession to the widely criticized rushed finale and mental hospital ending.
Critics praised the film's atmospheric first two-thirds, particularly Wilson's performance and Flanagan's patient direction, but widely criticized the rushed, clichéd finale. The film succeeds as a slow-burn supernatural thriller before devolving into conventional horror tropes. Most reviewers felt it was a significant improvement over the original Ouija despite its flawed ending.
