Has there ever been a movie that features a Ouija board that didn’t end bad for the participants using it? Whether it’s The Exorcist or Paranormal Activity, it appears that Ouija always means one thing: Bad mojo.
So, it is only a matter of time before the game got its own movie. Universal Pictures has announced that Olivia Cooke of Bates Motel and Douglas Smith of Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters have been cast as the lead in their upcoming horror film based on the Hasbro classic…Ouija.
The film, set to be directed by Juliet Snowden and Stiles White, shall chronicle a group of teens who play with a Ouija board and contact an evil spirit that accepts their unwitting invitation. Soon, they must right their mistake or face a horrific fate.
And still somehow, I’m sure this movie will convince many, many more people to buy their own Ouijas. Funny old world, eh?
