This is a prequel superior to its predecessor - we're not bored with board-game ghoulishness yet.

Deliciously creepy, thanks largely to a terrific performance by the youngest of its stars.

Horror prequel surprisingly good, despite odd, dark moments.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Ouija: Origin of Evil is better than 2014's Ouija (both movies are based on Hasbro's Ouija board game). There are plenty of scares and creepy scenes, but they're mostly bloodless. While possessed by a monster, a 9-year-old girl does terrible things and is herself in peril. Characters die; viewers will see a hanged body, a bloody knife, monsters, and scary stuff, as well as off screen violence and other acts that are described. Language is pretty infrequent but does include a few uses of "bitch," "hell," "crap," and "oh my God." Teens drink at a party, adults drink in a social dinner setting, and there's talk about excessive drinking among adults, including a man killed in a drunk-driving accident. Sexual content is limited to flirting and a tender kiss between teens. Overall, the movie is scary, with some weird/darkly funny moments, but it has bleak themes and ends on a downbeat note.
