Sequels/Prequels I Prefer Over The Original (19 movies items)

"A prequel to a movie that deserved nothing but to be forgotten. Leave it to modern-day morbid maestro Mike Flanagan to make something worthwhile when he didn't have even have to."

"Fuck, Mike, that was disappointing. It did not end very well. It feels like his hands were tie, but still does not excuse the lack of development of the grief theme. I'm not happy."

“I didn’t care much about ‘Ouija’ but since this prequel was directed by Mike Flanagan and since it seemed to have a decent reputation, I was quite eager to check it out. To be honest, I didn’t remember much about ‘Ouija’, except that it was pretty lame. I was in fact pretty sure that there was basically no connection between the two movies. It’s only afterwards that I discovered that it was actually taking place in the same house and some of the characters were even actually returning. Anyway, Flanagan did a fine job here, even if he didn’t focus too much on the Ouija board after all. Indeed, in fact, it could have been easily removed and the whole story would still have worked. Anyway, the mood was neat, the end-result was actually pretty creepy and I have to admit that, e” read more

My Top 275 Favorite Horror Movies of All Time (275 movies items)

"I once bought a oiuja board at a garage sale. After I brought it home, I decided to try it out to since if it really worked, especially considering that I was never one to believe in the supernatural. I started out by asking "Are there any spirits there?" That thingamajig that slides across the board slid over the the "Yes" answer. Since I wasn't really expecting any kind of a response, I was taken somewhat aback, and asked it the first question that popped into my head. "Uhhh..." I mumbled "..."

"8.1. Ensimmäiset 30–40 minuuttia onkin varsin mallikasta kauhustelua, mutta elokuvalla on kestoa se 99 minuuttia. Alussa kauhun kohde pysyy mysteerisenä hienosti, vähäelinen tunnelma on vie mukanaan ja metatasolla elokuvan kerronnassa kauhun konventioille saatetaan pienesti jopa irvailla. Lopulta kuitenkin Ouija: Origin of Evil lähtee itse vetelemään niistä kaikkein kangistuneimmista kauhun naruista elokuvaa eteenpäin, milloin elokuva tekeekin oikeastaan vain itsestään naurunalaise"

"1.3. 2020 The main character is a con artist who takes money from stupid people by pretending to be a psychic, but everything about her life changes when she learns that supernatural phenomena is actually very real. This is another run-of-the-mill horror film that has some potential but it turns into a complete mess during the silly end sequence."

“I had as much hope as one can be expected to conjure up for a big studio project about a board game when I saw the first Ouija film. Still, I somehow got even less than my low expectations dictated would be reasonably acceptable. Despite this response I went into the follow-up, Ouija: Origin of Evil (a prequel), with some vague hope that it would at least be slightly improved. This hope came courtesy of the man helming the project, Mike Flanagan.

In the last handful of years Flanagan has directed a brilliant and refreshing home invasion movie called "Hush" and, later, one of the best Stephen King adaptations to date in "Gerald's Game". This garnered much good will in my book and gave Ouija: Origin of Evil a fighting chance.

"First viewing - Dec. 30th I felt that it was time to watch something I have NOT already seen before, and decided to finally check this one out. Evidently it's better than the original film, which means nothing to me since I had no urge to see that one. But I dig Mike Flanagan's other films I've seen, so I wanted to see whether I'd like this one as well. Overall it was fine. I can't say I was blown away by it, but it's got some effectively creepy moments and visuals. The cast does a decent job"
