It was never just a game. Inviting audiences again into the lore of the spirit board, “Ouija: Origin of Evil” tells a terrifying new tale as the follow-up to 2014’s sleeper hit that opened at number one. In 1965 Los Angeles, a widowed mother and her two daughters add a new stunt to bolster their séance scam business and unwittingly invite authentic evil into their home. When the youngest daughter is overtaken by the merciless spirit, this small family confronts unthinkable fears to save her and send her possessor back to the other side.
“Ouija: Origin of Evil” is produced by Platinum Dunes partners Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form (“The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” “The Purge series,” “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”), Blumhouse Productions’ Jason Blum (“The Purge” and “Insidious” series), alongside Hasbro’s Brian Goldner (“Transformers” and “G.I. Joe” series) and Stephen Davis (“Ouija”). Mike Flanagan directs from a screenplay he wrote with his “Oculus” and “Before I Wake” collaborator, Jeff Howard, and Universal will distribute the film worldwide.
“Ouija: Origin of Evil” opens in theaters October 21st
