10 Upcoming Sequels And Reboots That Will Destroy Your Faith In Cinema

Despite a barrage of hostile reviews (USA Today called it “a deadly dull and overly familiar movie about summoning ghosts that draws upon nearly every horror movie cliché”), Ouija made $102 million on a $5 million production budget, so a sequel is in development, due for release in October 2016.

Cameras have yet to begin rolling, so details are sketchy, but if previous cheap horror sequels like Hostel II are anything to go by, it’ll be the same story all over again with a different cast. More teenagers you couldn’t care less about, more false scares, more people walking down dark corridors saying, “Hello? Someone there?”

Or perhaps the filmmakers could combine it with the still-in-development Scooby Doo reboot. Think about that: both franchises revolve around whiney teenagers investigating the supernatural, their number includes a square-jawed jock, a damsel in distress, a stoner and a comic relief character, and the lights always go out during the climactic thunderstorm. Michael Bay, you’ve found your next movie.
