8 Horror Movie Sequels Everyone Thought Would Suck But Didn't

8. Ouija: Origin Of Evil (2016)

If you told people just after watching Oujia that the sequel was going to be one of the best horror films of 2016, a year bursting with stunningly scary movies, they would have laughed in your face.

The first film was a dumpster fire of a horror flick, scoring an abysmal 6% on Rotten Tomatoes, and was about as much fun as actually watching people sitting around a table staring a ouija board for 80 minutes straight.

However, it made a sweet $95 million profit and so a prequel was put into development. No one was ready for just how effective this horror film would be.

Abandoning any relation to the previous entry, this Ouija film focusses on a family that cons people by hosting fake seances. The youngest daughter unintentionally invites a spirit into their home and spooky hijinks ensue.

The film is a lot more mature than the first entry with a focus on making the family feel believable, and the dramatic moments really work because of this. The direction is also expertly handled with a dreaded tone slowly suffocating the movie and frightening dark cinematography filling the screen.

Then there are the scares, and this film gives you your money's worth as there is a slew of terrifying moments to be found in this sequel with spine-tingling suspense and genuinely disturbing imagery.

Oujia 2 is not only better than the original it's one of the most improved movie sequels of all time.
