This movie is positively impressing. The setting reminds of "Insidious", occasionally, even if "Ouija" does not appear to be as original and entertaining. The first hour of the movie is honestly remarkable : we are given a complete background of the main characters and the atmosphere is adequately prepared for the expectable final action-sequence. In the first section of the movie the narrative elements combine in perfect proportion : thrill, realism, humor, drama, they all build an absolutely convincing plot. But then action comes and all falls down to pieces. As a matter of fact, after the first 60 minutes the movie seems anxious to run too quickly towards a very confusing conclusion. The dosage of CGI is reduced but shows a cheap quality; concerning the end, as I said, too many elements (cliches and attempts of originality) which do not assemble organically are brought on the screen all of a sudden, at the same time. This contributes to creating the sensation that it took less then 20 minutes to shatter a promising work of horror, cautiously built in over one long hour. The two young actresses were both incredibly talented and gave a brilliant performance. I can't wait to see both of them in better horrors.
