Ouija

Reste que l'ensemble peine à se démarquer des autres films de maison hantée, avec ses effets-chocs faciles, son déroulement monotone et ses personnages unidimensionnels.

Even for hardcore horror fans, this is an easy pass, with you better off just picking a random horror movie from the dozens of lower-key ones that have hit Netflix or VOD over the last few months.

In the absence of anything truly original in the screenplay he co-wrote with Juliet Snowden, director Stiles White vainly attempts to ratchet up the tension with a series of cheap jump scares fueled by loud noises that are the cinematic equivalent of shaking hands with someone wearing a joy buzzer.

Their stupidity becomes so outlandish that it not only kills audience empathy and snuffs out suspension of disbelief, it had me actively rooting for these dummies to die.

Si vous cherchez vraiment les frissons, tournez-vous plutôt vers Annabelle (qui n'est pas génial, mais qui est de calibre supérieur). Encore mieux, invitez quelques amis et prenez place autour d'une planche de ouija. Vous aurez probablement plus peur.
