Needless to say that I wasn't exactly harboring much of any grand expectations to this 2023 horror movie titled "Ouija Witch". Why? Well, simply and solely because of the title. The movies that have the word 'Ouija' in them tend to be rather questionable and shoddy attempts of imitating horror movies.
However, since I had never heard about this 2023 movie from director Robert Michael Ryan, and with it being a horror movie, then I opted to give the movie a fair chance and the benefit of the doubt.
I will say that writers Cuyle Carvin, John Doolan and Robert Michael Ryan actually put together a script and storyline that proved to be adequately entertaining. Sure, this was by no means a milestone in horror cinema, nor was it an out-of-the-mind viewing experience. But it should be noted that it was certainly a notch upward in comparison to so many other movies with the word 'Ouija' in the title. And I suppose that counts for something.
The cast ensemble in the movie was mostly unfamiliar talents, aside from Sean Young. The acting performances in the movie were actually fair, and proved better than what I had expected, as I figured I would be in for wooden, rigid and questionable acting performances, as the 'Ouija' movies usually tend to be crammed with.
Visually then "Ouija Witch" wasn't overly interesting. There wasn't really much of any special effects or CGI effects in the movie. And that sort of dragged the movie down somewhat.
Watchable for a single time only, as the movie just doesn't have much of any replay value to it.
My rating of "Ouija Witch" lands on a four out of ten stars.
