Ranking October 2016's Movies - From Worst To Best
10. Ouija: Origin Of Evil
RottenTomatoes Score: 82% (6.2/10)
Box Office: Though it opened lower than expected and also below the original movie's first weekend, the $9 million horror follow-up has made over $40 million worldwide so far. Whether that'll be enough for Universal to make more of these movies is another matter altogether, though the series could certainly survive on the home video market.
Verdict: Quite possibly the most improved movie sequel of all time, Ouija 2 is boosted hugely by Mike Flanagan's (Oculus, Hush) strong writing and direction, moving away from the generic claptrap of the original movie and serving up a surprisingly effective prequel full of gorgeous visuals, superb acting and genuine suspense.
It may be fairly familiar on the whole, but as far as genre films go, it's supremely well-executed.
