Ouija by Katharine Turner

"As friends we've gathered,

Hearts are true,

Spirits near,

We call to you.."

 

As kids, Laine and Debbie loved playing the Ouija board game at sleepovers. As teenagers, Debbie finds an old Ouija board in the attic of her house and, against the rules, decides to play alone... Laine is devastated to hear of Debbie's suicide, and gathers her friends in Debbie's house for closure. She wants answers, and they try to contact Debbie with a Ouija board. But it isn't Debbie they are talking too, and Laine and her friends are now in a game of life and death. They have let the spirits escape and now they must end the game once and for all or be left with the horrible consequences.

 

Sometimes while watching a movie I enjoy it so much I wish it was also a book. This is exactly what happened. Ouija by Katharine Turner is based on the movie screenplay written by Stiles White and Juliet Snowden. A lot of the conversations are similar and their are very few changes to the plot. Although, sometimes I did find the dialogue a little bit kiddish. But overall, I really enjoyed the movie and enjoyed it just as much reading a near perfect representation of it. The characters were familiar, and I loved reading knowing it was going to end the way it was meant to, no surprise twist endings. Since there is already a sequel movie in the works, I would definitely read a sequel book if it ever becomes available.

 

My Rating: 3.5/5
