Ouija: Origin of Evil - 2016 - 6/10

Old school style yarn of family messing with Ouija board, getting more than they bargained for.
Recently widowed mother earns pocket money by holding seances.
Revenue is meager, though, and PAST DUE bills stack up.
Mom really doesn’t have the gift, either, but the youngest daughter does. (The child who plays Doris is well directed.)
Thing about the open-ended Ouija board. When you make contact, it works both ways.
And to reference Rocky TF Squirrel, are they friendly spirits? Not in this movie.
Set in 1967, though cars, clothes, soda fountain, echo the 50’s.
OK scares, no gore, no nudity. “Child in danger,” a trope I generally dislike.
