Let’s all join hands and try to contact a decent scriptwriter…
This is going to be a very short review, mainly because there’s not a lot to say about this film, which is somewhat sad given that it is well-intentioned yet very poorly executed by those-on screen. The title gives the impression that it’s the last in a series, which when watching the film itself there is no indication of and if this were any sort of sequel I could only hope that what went before it benefitted from a different script and cast. This film is all rather basic, girl studying to be an art restorer inherits a house she doesn’t want but has to drop off some documents there. She goes with three stereotypical friends, they find a hidden room, find a Ouija board, use said Ouija board and all hell breaks loose… Except it doesn’t. What actually happens is an hour and a half of tedious scripting, ham-fisted directing, piss-poor dialogue and bad acting. No creepy atmosphere, no scares and pretty much nothing of any note in this film. It’s an absolute shame because it is fairly tightly focused, beautifully lit and shot, and the sound quality is superb. Almost all technical aspects of the actual production are fine as one would expect from an Italian film company, it’s just unfortunate that the script offers nothing new, in fact it is even struggling to hit the cliché riddled heights we could expect from a straight-to-video 80s movie. I’m ending here as I don’t want to say anything which might really hurt any individual’s feelings. Suffie to say that I don’t recommend it, but if you feel like watching it it’ll be available soon. Ouija Seance : The Final Game is on VOD 7/3/18 and 8/3/18 on DVD.
