I'm 35 and I really enjoyed it. Definitely not the terrible movie people want to make it out to be. I am a huge horror fan and watch dozens of horror movies per year, and the vast majority are AWFUL. (Which is okay, I enjoy that.) Especially in today's day and age. You get movie that are shot on what looks like home video with completely amateur acting and no sense of how to write a script.
Ouija was way above average in cinematography, acting, story structure. It wasn't a great movie, but it was fun and had a couple of creepy spots. I enjoyed the story line. There was a mystery, some dramatic irony, and I actually appreciated the fact that the Debbie's death was felt so much by the characters. One major problem I have with most horror movies is when someone dies, the characters don't really react in a realistic way. They just take it in stride, which they can usually get away with because they are in the heat of the moment and are in survival mode. I liked the fact that the death of these characters actually impacted the world around them.
(To a degree. With each subsequent death, they dwelled on it less and less, with ultimately the main girl's boyfriend dying and she doesn't have that strong of a reaction. Again, the movie was flawed, but it had redeeming qualities.)
How suddenly Doris was the bad one when the mother was practising witchery was also a mystery.
The point here, is that Doris was always the bad one, and mother was trying to protect the world from her. Doris was lying to the kids from the get go, and they believed her.
