Description: Linda's friend Brandon brings over his Ouija to play at Linda's party. Linda starts to become very interested and drawn to the Ouija. She meets a child ghost named David who is a friend of Brandon. David helps Linda find items she has lost and gains her trust. Unfortunately, this ghost is not really David, its a ghost of a serial killer who is out for blood.
Gore/Violence: There is some blood in the movie, an impalement, an ax to the forehead, but the way its shot is not gory.
Body Count: The body count is low in the movie, about 4 people were terminated.
Nudity & Sexuality: No sacs of fat in this one.
Death Scenes: The death scenes were alright. There was an impalement which was entertaining, an ax to a guys forehead (which then ends up being across his face in the next scene), and the best death was when a stack of sheet rock falls on a guy.
Acting/Storyline: The storyline of the movie wasn't good, but it wasn't bad either, it was just ordinary. The storyline was just good enough to keep me on the verge of being bored, but never actually making me bored. There was some good scenes here and there, but they were few and far between.
The acting matched the storyline, its just average. Some of the acting was over the top, for example, the psychic girl which I didn't think meshed well with this movie.
Final Rating: The movie is not a bad movie, I just found it kind of dull. There are some good death scenes in the movie that will peak your interest at times, but once the death scene is over you will go back to being sort of bored. There is enough in the movie to keep you shutting it off, but not enough to make me watch it again.
