History Film / Ouija

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: DZ is exorcised, but only Laine and Sarah are alive. Plus, it's implied that exorcising DZ only releases the evil spirits free, as Laine finds the Ouija planchette back inside her bedroom...]]

** Ana Coto, the actress who played Sarah, is also a Latina. However, Sarah is supposed to be white here, [[WTHCastingAgency because she has a father and a sister played by the very white Matthew Settle and Olivia Cooke, respectively]].

* DaylightHorror: Happened once with an abandoned shopping cart trolley.

* NeverFoundTheBody: The police never found DZ's body. [[spoiler: It's in a hidden room below Debbie's house, which means that the entire house is a graveyard. [[OhCrap What's rule number two?]].]]

Laine wants to try making contact with Debbie as she feels guilt from not being able to help her. Gathering a group of friends comprised of herself, her boyfriend, her younger sister, a mutual friend, and Debbie's boyfriend, she conducts an Ouija session and try to call forth Debbie's spirit. Despite their doubts, the Ouija planchette moves and spells out answers allegedly from Debbie. As most of the team are understandably creeped out, they stop the ritual and resume their lives. But soon enough, they find mysterious occurrences happening to them...

->''"As friends we've gathered, our hearts are true. Spirits near, we call to you."''

Anyway, Laine Morris is called by her ChildhoodFriend Debbie Galardi (Creator/ShelleyHennig) who has something on her mind. But when she arrives, Debbie refuses to talk and sends her away.

After Debbie's funeral, Laine (Creator/OliviaCooke) is asked to house-sit the Galardi house by Debbie's grief-stricken mom, who wants some time away from the house. She agrees and visits the house sometime after with her boyfriend Trevor. There, they find Debbie's Ouija board.
