When the youngest daughter is overtaken by a merciless spirit, the family confronts unthinkable fears to save her and send her possessor back to the other side.”
It's no secret that the first Ouija film (2014) was absolutely terrible, including horrendous acting and overall execution so poor I am surprised it made theaters. I went to see The Shallows recently and I was impressed by a trailer for the sequel, Ouija 2 Origin of Evil, releasing this fall. I am unsure as to why this is being considered a sequel (studio decision I assume), but this film includes a new and quite talented writer and directer Mike Flanagan (luckily he had no involvement with the first film), who previously directed Oculus and the highly rated Netflix exclusive horror film Hush. Rarely does a trailer creep me out but the trailer for Ouija 2 did the trick, check it out below.
