positive · AI labelView post →Share a horror movie title that begins with the letter “O” 🎥 O is for… OUIJA 🖤
neutral · AI labelView post →I had a video idea where I review every movie based on a board game like Clue and Battleship, but then I realized there were 6 Ouija movies and I was like nvm

neutral · AI labelView post →"Witchboard" is a movie in which a Ouija board devil possesses Tawny Kitaen and forces her to dress like Elvis Costello. There is, briefly, a fedora (the most fiendish of the Ouija devil's inventions) but it gets knocked off. I think he did her a favor, overall.
neutral · AI labelView post →Holy crap that Mike Flanagan Ouija sequel was SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE FIRST wtf, it's actually got a plot! It's actually got spooks!!! It's an actual film and then some!!
positive · AI labelView post →I saw a horror movie where they got out a Ouija board and the black friend is like "Nuh-uh, my grandma would kill me, I'll see you guys Monday" and I'd love to see a split screen horror-comedy where half is the death and despair in haunted house and half is her ordering pizza and doing her homework.

neutral · AI labelView post →Horror Movie Rules, Continued: 21. Don't fuck with seances or Ouija boards. To paraphrase "Candyman," u don’t need to go summoning dead people. They’re fine and don’t need to know how much u miss them. They know, they’re dead. If they'd wanted u to know something, they'd have told you already.
neutral · AI labelView post →I can remember being very confused as a child to see an Ouija board in a horror film. Like, if they were so bad, why did we have one in the house that came from WHSmith’s???

neutral · AI labelView post →Modern horror movie nomenclature is so boring & generic. Don't Breathe, Speak No Evil, Never Let Go, Hold Your Breath, Imaginary, etc. Bring back the days of horror movies being titled, like, Crazed Vampires From The Ouija Board and Mistress Demon Ghost & The Horny Witches.
neutral · AI labelView post →I'd love to see a horror movie where the protagonists use an off-brand Ouija Board, and they have to then fight, sub-quality generic Temu demons ... . #FrightClub #Witchboard
neutral · AI labelView post →Crappy shark movie #190 was WATER PARK SHARK, which we ranked at #122 (below Bikini Shark & Ouija Shark 2). It’s the 1st movie where we are convinced the stinker of a script was written by ChatGPT! Acting was fun, CGI sharks were fun, budget was decent, but the script was bad.

neutral · AI labelView post →reminder that when i grew up AFAB in the 80s, this was the sleepover routine: - watch horror movie - try to summon demon - play Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board - Ouija till near dawn - seances intermittent
neutral · AI labelView post →OUIJA SHARK 2 (aka Ouija Shark vs Tarot Gator) comes in at #99 out of 152. It's a seriously weird & wahoo movie that isn't really about the shark any more, but it's also a family project with puppets that's way more charming than we expected? You get the feeling all the actors were having fun. Neat.

negative · AI labelView post →Ouija Origin of Evil was tonight's fare for Day 7 of Spooky Movie October! I've seen better, I've certainly seen worse. There were a few points where the creep factor was almost there. But all I could see was Esme Cullen the whole movie...
neutral · AI labelView post →Talk To Me is one messed up Ouija movie! Yeah they replaced the Ouija board with a creepy hand, but all the tropes and structures are there, and they do a great job with it. The sound design is particularly unnerving. Hell of an ending, too...!
neutral · AI labelView post →171. Ouija is one of the most poorly written horror films I have seen in a long time and the main character who is to cause for all of this is named "Laine" so we made all the Serial Experiments Lain jokes we possibly could every time they said her name in this letterboxd.com/cckirby/film...

positive · AI labelView post →What are four films you don’t just dislike, you despise? (Ouija is fringe)
negative · AI labelView post →The movie was going to be called "Ouija," but Parker Brothers, who owned the name, told the filmmakers that they couldn't use the title and they couldn't use the Parker Brothers board in the film. The film had already been shot with that board, but the film didn't get sued. #Witchboard #FrightClub

neutral · AI labelView post →Agreed! Solid film with a lot of great moments. Flanagan did miracles with that one, considering the shit fest that was the first OUIJA film.
positive · AI labelView post →Tonight’s movie was Ouija: Origin of Evil. I didn’t think you could make a good horror movie based on an ouija board but I shouldn’t have doubted Mike Flanagan.
positive · AI labelView post →i actually really like his Ouija movie, its super fun. but he doesn't have 3 mid works to reference. the other option i had was Hush which was fucking excellent so.
neutral · AI labelView post →A Hasbro-based horror prequel to a poor film ought to be a cursed, thankless project, but Mike Flanagan's OUIJA: ORIGIN OF EVIL (2016) "is improbably good, while slyly denying the existence of either origins or evil". Now on Tubi UK. projectedfigures.com/2017/05/08/o...

neutral · AI labelView post →The first one is from Ouija: Origin of Evil (it’s actually really good). The other is from the original Lights Out short film.
neutral · AI labelView post →Incidentally, if you are ever Ouija boarding and you overhear a demon say "TRAPS, BABY!" that's a quote from the movie, and they are probably torturing someone.

positive · AI labelView post →Not counting miniseries as films… 1. Doctor Sleep 2. Gerald’s Game 3. Hush (The Shush Cut) [I’m counting it as a separate film release] 4. Ouija: Origin of Evil
neutral · AI labelView post →My view on Ouija bored is that the first Ouija definitely bored me, but Ouija: Origin of Evil was a pretty okay horror movie that together with Oculus served as an interesting testing ground for many of the ideas in later, better Mike Flanagan projects like the Haunting of Hill House.
