it's predictable, a tad stale and leans heavily on familiar scare tactics, but Flanagan does manage to infuse enough authorial flare to keep you visually stimulated
effective horror relies on the actualization of some deep-seated cultural fear, but Ouija: Origin of Evil supplies only ineffective cliches and half-hearted attempts at franchise building
a general rule of thumb about horror-movie sequels: They rarely improve on the original. That's what makes "Ouija: Origin of Evil" such a surprise. It's better in every department than 2014's "Ouija"
