India Harper (Lois Wilkinson) is a young single mother who's pretty
much juggling a few too many things as it is, like giving a good home to
her toddler Emily (India Raqia-Walker), moving house and finding a job.
Fortunately she has the help of her mother (Lesley Scoble) and family
friend Laurie (Roger Shepherd) to handle all of this. Then one evening she
finds a ouija board hidden in her garden, and with nothing better to do,
she and her best friend Becca (Gabriella) decide to try it out. Later that
evening, Becca falls down a flight of stairs in India's house to her
eventual death. And that's only the first of many tragedies to happen, as
a few days later little Emily, unsupervised only for a couple of minutes,
climbs into a hot bath that burns her badly, then India's dog goes missing
and eventually she finds its severed head, a window cleaner (Nathan Head)
dies a death as mysterious as unnatural, and so on. Eventually, Laurie
lets her in on the "fact" that her house might be cursed. Of
course, India doesn't believe him despite all the bad luck, but when a
church man (Laurence Saunders) is killed while investigating the house,
India starts to have second thoughts. But she also finds new resolve:
Figuring everything has only started when she found the ouija board, she
figures facing whatever demons there may be will be worth it if she can
destroy the board in the process - but that of course is easier said than
done ... Now Ouijageist is by no mean the re-invention
of horror, it follows genre rules just a little too closely for that - but
if you're in for a fun, spooky ride, then you're sure to enjoy this one,
as there are plenty of shocks to keep one on the edge of one's seat, with
enough suspense to keep one interested, and relatable enough characters
and situations to care. This might sound a bit like textbook horror, but
it does result in good genre entertainment.
