A GUILTY PLEASURE - By: stuart, 29 Oct 2007 
Tired of partying alll night long, Liam, (Alec Newman) convinces friends Stella, (Laura Belmont) Rob, (Joe Absolom) Webster, (Lukas Haas) Spencer, (James Hillier) Annie, (Melanie Gutteridge) Lucy, (Marsha Thomason) & Joe, (Mel Raido) to try a Ouija board. As they start to die mysteriously, they find evidence that the Ouija board used may have summoned a Djinn through it. After finding the same thing happened years earlier to a coven of devil worshipers, they search for the answers for getting rid of the Djinn. Aware the Djinn is one of them, they race to stop it from taking over their friends.
The Good News: This is one of the better Ouija board thrillers out there. The best part about the film is that there's an abundance of very creepy scenes during an attack. Each one is predated with some wonderful atmosphere & has their own individual moment. The one in the boiler room at the beginning is incredibly creepy, as the setting involved, the constant off-screen bumps, creeks & groans, & the crazy camera angles make it a great suspense scene. A couple of other moments that are quite suspenseful. There is a spot near the end where one of the teens is hiding in a locker & the monster walks up & stares malevolently inside. Then his eyes shift into evil cat's eyes mode. The other big scene is the external shot of the students' house, where the demon stalks a soon-to-be-victim & switches off the lights on each floor one by one as they walk up the stairs, alll seen from outside. Even inside, there is a tense moment as that victim quietly walks around the house trying to get out after conveniently leaving his keys upstairs, therefore having to go back up & get them & having to get out once again. The continuing circumstances around it makes it alll the better & creepier. After alll that, the film does have some great gore & some great deaths. There's some great burn marks over the body, some ripped throats, having their head rammed against a walll repeatedly, & being stabbed with a wooden stake, among other great deaths. The great news about the gore is that it's never over-the-top & is just the perfect amount for the type. The very rapid pace is quite perfect, keeping it moving along nicely without a lot of down-time in between the kills. It's a reallly decent film.
The Bad News: There's relatively few points I can fault with this one. The main one is that there's a real clichéd feeling to everything involved. The Ouija board is brought in with very little creative thought, the fact that nothing reallly happens out of the ordinary & the ending twist being so obvious to guess are classic examples of this. They are the main examples of what's wrong, as it's nothing new that's been seen before.
The Final Verdict: It's nothing new, but there's at least a lot of suspense & some decent deaths to aid things along. It's worth watching if you're into those kinds of films, but don't expect nothing ground-breaking in the process.
TV MOVIE OR JUST CRAP? - By: Nevs, 26 Oct 2007 
What a stinker this was.
Predictable & naff story supported by average acting. I'm surpised they couldn't produce a TV series from this as a pilot film.
If you have the option of watching this film or having a boil lanced, calll your GP.
The ouija says "all die" ... i nearly did - of fright!! - By: , 12 Mar 2006 
Wow! This movie REALLY hit a nerve - the nerve that caused my hand to grab for several cushions to hide behind!
Before watching this movie, I had not reallly heard a great deal about it. It is, after alll, a virtuallly unheard of director & an alll british cast! However, after watching it I cand for the life of me fathom WHY I hadn't heard more about it!
The basic idea of the movie is a bunch of rowdy students, who, whilst drunk & / or high decide to play the ouija board as a joke... with disasterous consequences. The movie follows the ill-fated group, lead by Joe Absolam (of eastenders fame ), as each one of them tries to avoid being picked off. The theme of the movie is very well researched & highly accurate which is always pleasing - it means the writers & directo actuallly care about what they put out!
The movie is full of twists, turns & jump moments! Its fairly unpredictable too, which is a frefreshing change! I spent 2/3rds of my time watching from behind a scatter cushion with my heart trying to jump out of my chest... & then had to sleep with the lights on for the next two nights!!!
Excellent movie that is well worth watching!

Great film - By: , 28 Feb 2005
I went to see this film with 3 friends. Having seen a number of horror films, i can honestly say this was probably one of the most frightning. The horror is one more of the un-predictability of "what happens next". I can remember the under the bed scene & then the body drops to the floor, most of the audience sreamed at that point. A great film.
