The first Ouija film scored poorly with critics, but horror director Mike Flanagan made the prequel Ouija: Origin of Evil great.
The Big Picture Once upon a creepy time, Mike Flanagan wasn't interested in making a horror sequel. The writer-director of the original spine-chilling features Absentia, Oculus, Hush, and Before I Wake described himself to Esquire in 2016 as " an allergy to sequels and remakes in general." Ouija, a 2014 movie from Universal Pictures, scored poorly with critics but turned an impressive enough profit to warrant a sequel .
Release Date October 21, 2016 Director Mike Flanagan Cast Doug Jones, Henry Thomas, Elizabeth Reaser, Kate Siegel, Lin Shaye, Annalise Basso Rating PG-13 Main Genre Horror Studio Universal Pictures Writers Mike Flanagan, Jeff Howard Tagline When you talk to the other side, you never know who will be listening.

Mike Flanagan Made ‘Ouija: Origin of Evil’ Entirely His Own While promoting Ouija: Origin of Evil, Flanagan praised Universal and Jason Blum for their lack of interference. "The connections to the first movie weren't as important to them as making a good movie," he told Esquire. "If we hadn't had that conversation right off the bat, I wouldn't have pursued it at all.
‘Ouija: Origin of Evil’ Has Everything That Makes Mike Flanagan Great In less intuitive hands, such a loving pastiche might've lacked narrative structure. Ouija: Origin of Evil doesn't lose the forest for the trees. It plays the vintage style straight without overwhelming to the point of distraction. Touches like the lived-in production design and warm-toned color grading enhance the film's mood and give it a distinct identity.
