Based on true events, “The Ouija
Experiment” narrates the story of five friends who decide to record their
experimental sessions with an Ouija board hoping to create a viral video that
will make them famous. Directed and
written by Israel Luna whose foray into filmmaking was inspired by the movie
“The Exorcist” at the age of five, he would then eventually be known for
his horror and offbeat films such as
“Fright Flick,” “Ticked-off Trannies
with Knives” and “The Deadbeat Club.”
In
“The Ouija Experiment,” Luna utilizes the actors’ improvisational skills based
on the outline he gave them. Armed with
an Ouija board and video recorder, they start to beckon the spirits and when
the spirits came, it made them forget the important rules of the game and soon
become powerless against the evil entities that occupy the board. Realizing the grave consequences they brought
upon themselves, they decide to destroy the board before it destroys all of
them.
Michael
(played by Justin Armstrong), has summoned an uncommon group of friends to his
Dallas, Texas home for a night of séances via the infamous spirit board. Brandon is conveniently a film student who
has a camera in tow to document the event.
With their fingers on the pointer, the planchette whirls around the
board to tell the tale of little Gracie and her mother Lisa. Lisa reportedly shot a bad man named Joseph
after he drowned her precious child. But
another lesson this group forgot is that spirits tend to lie and there is more to this story than the board
lets on. And when they neglect the rule
about saying goodbye to the ghosts, these five friends open a doorway to the
spirit world that they may not be able to close.
“The
Ouija Experiment” opens November 27 in theaters from CrystalSky Multimedia,
Inc.
