The Ouija Experiment 2: Theatre of Death (2015)

Sorry, this movie sucks

Simply A Masterpiece

Pretty Good

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Like the first 'The Ouija Experiment', 'The Ouija Experiment 2: Theatre of Death' had a cool poster/cover, an intriguing if not particularly original premise and as someone with a general appreciation for horror. That it was low-budget, which from frequent personal experience is rarely a good sign due to that there are so many poor ones out there, made me though apprehensive as well as the low rating and poor reviews (uniformly panned). It is sadly however yet another film seen recently, hence some reiteration because the exact same strengths and flaws those films have are present here than in the first film and in recent low budget viewings, that to me was incredibly disappointing considering its potential which it doesn't do anywhere near enough with. 'The Ouija Experiment 2: Theatre of Death' is terrible, with a plethora of problems (huge ones too) and doesn't do enough with its potential, which was hardly small. There is really nothing to recommend, as awful as its predecessor was it is a masterpiece compared to this. That at least had a few nice references, this has nothing.Lets start with the sole positive. The setting, while going too far on the simplicity, is fairly spooky at times.Unfortunately, it is not done justice by the rather direct to video schlocky way it's shot and edited and the drab colour palette, so much so it was hard to appreciate it, it was very clear that the film was made in a rush with no care or enthusiasm. In particular, the camera work was a nauseous assault on the eyes with its excessive amateurish-ness. Going on further to the negatives, the story does feel paper thin, disjointed and over-stretched and some of it feels vague, under-explained in the last third where the film especially became duller, more predictable, more senseless and less scary. Too many characters are too sketchy and with nowhere near enough to make one want to endear to them. Their annoying and illogical decision making and behaviours frustrates and are even more overdone than in its predecessor.Making the film feel bland and forgettable with not enough heart put into it. The effects are ropy at best, the sound quality is obvious and utilised cheaply (being too loud in the build ups and people's reactions) and it's best not mentioning the uniformly lumbering and histrionic acting that shows a huge indifference to the situation and what is going on and extremely awkward prolonged pauses.Dialogue can be stilted and rambling, with lots of clichés, lots of unintentional humour that makes some of the film play like a really bad spoof and no depth whatsoever, while the pace goes to a standstill very quickly and drags on forever with very little going on worth caring about and useless padding, never recovering. Found too many the supposedly shocking moments not surprising or scary and the supposedly creepy atmosphere dreary, due to the excessive obviousness, a lot of dumb and vague moments and explanations and the lack of tension and suspense. Would not have minded the lack of originality (the film is extremely derivative and in a dumbed and watered down way) if the story and atmosphere were at least alright in execution, in reality they were both incredibly poorly done.A lot of 'The Ouija Experiment 2: Theatre of Death' has underdeveloped plot elements and often nonsensical and confusing character motivations, while too many of the things to make you jump or shocked are far from creative or scary and are pretty tame. The ending makes the film finish on an incomplete and confused whimper, while the film often fails to make sense, at worst it's incomprehensible.There is not enough threat, and what there is of it tends to be used poorly, it is completely unimaginative and more odd than creepy, completely failing to show any sense of horror or creativity. Everything here is neither creative, suspenseful or nail-biting. Some badly sagging momentum too. The direction is leaden and like their heart was not in it or ill at ease, with the chemistry between the characters and actors coming over as constantly random and aggressive with the subtlety of an axe. This is very dreary and amateurish stuff that fails to be scary, interesting or easy to follow.Summarising, an irredeemable mess. 1/10 Bethany Cox

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.

Once upon a time, First time I see this movie, I'm like.. 'Wow, finally Ouija making the sequel of their first film'And then, watched almost a half of this, I'm like.. 'Ok, the acting is pretty lame.'Well then, the ghost came out and it doesn't scare me, at all. The ghost is pretty annoying. The actors and actresses act pretty lame. If I could send them to heaven, I would send them to hell.Please for whoever want to watch movie but don't know what to watch. DO NOT ever think to watch this. Its killing you inside.At least, lame horrible waste annoying.

An awful movie with astoundingly horrible acting from start to finish. The dialog was insincere,corny,and at times so long winded I wanted to kill the actors and script writers myself and save the spooks the effort,don't even get me started on the rancid music score. Special effects were something any 3rd grader could produce and fourth graders would pour scorn on,if you could even call them special effects. The constant mispronunciation of the word 'OUIJA' was just pathetic and for myself infuriating as it happened in one scene so many times I kept hoping the ground would open up and send them all to hell for sheer stupidity. All in all a horrendous movie with absolutely no redeeming features.
