OUIJA (2014)

Having had an experience on a Ouija board, over 25 years ago, that pretty much guaranteed I will never lay hands on one again, it doesn't mean enjoyment can't be had when a bunch of good-looking college kids pay a dastardly price for messing with one in this film, "based on the popular game".  This standard horror story starts with a girl named Debbie who offs herself after working a Ouija board alone, and her best friend Laine (Olivia Cooke of "Bates Motel") who can't let Deb's death go to the point where she gathers the girls best friends together to try and contact Debbie on the other side.  Mayhem ensues when they release something far more evil - but even with a competent cast and a couple of decent jump scares, the script and ending both make this film a mediocre, seen-it-all-before addition to the horror genre.  Not that bad ... but could have been so much better.  (rated PG-13) C-
