When a movie based on the Ouija board was announced, some took it as evidence that Hollywood had officially run out of ideas. However, when it was released the low budget (much lower than originally envisioned) grossed over $100 million worldwide, which was enough to get a sequel going. Now the trailer has arrived.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘It was never just a game. Inviting audiences again into the lore of the spirit board, Ouija: Origin of Evil tells a terrifying new tale as the follow-up to 2014’s sleeper hit that opened at number one. In 1965 Los Angeles, a widowed mother and her two daughters add a new stunt to bolster their séance scam business and unwittingly invite authentic evil into their home. When the youngest daughter is overtaken by the merciless spirit, this small family confronts unthinkable fears to save her and send her possessor back to the other side.’
