Natasha Lyonne Was One of the Best Parts of 'Orange Is the New Black'

Elisa Guimarães — Thu, 16 Feb 2023 07:45:18 GMT

Currently starring on Rian Johnson’s Peacock mystery series Poker Face, Natasha Lyonne is slowly becoming one of the biggest names in our current entertainment landscape. Apart from playing amateur sleuth Charlie Cale in 2023, the actress also scored a second season for her personal project Russian Doll, on Netflix, in 2022, and got herself a cameo in Johnson’s second installment of the Knives Out franchise, Glass Onion. With all this exposition, the love for her roles in late '90s cult classics such as The Slums of Beverly Hills and But I’m a Cheerleader has only gotten more widespread online. But the role that really put Lyonne in the limelight was not Russian Doll’s time-traveling party girl Nadia Vulvokov nor But I’m a Cheerleader’s high school queen turned pariah Megan. It’s time we give the proper attention and appreciation to the part that truly made Natasha Lyonne the TV queen that she is today. It’s time we take a really good look at Orange Is the New Black’s Nicky Nichols.

Spike Lee's 'School Daze' Put Black College Life in Mainstream Movies

Kevin Gyasi-Frempah — Thu, 16 Feb 2023 04:30:16 GMT

It's been 35 years since Spike Lee's sophomore feature film, School Daze, brought cinema's first exploration into the lives of students at a historically Black college and tackled subjects that weren't widely discussed, not just in college films, but in American cinema as a whole. In School Daze, issues such as colorism, hair bias, divisions within the Black community, and the importance of Historically Black/College Universities serve as catalysts for many of the conflicts. Lee, a graduate of the historically Black Morehouse College, examines and delves into these topics with the hopes of doing more than just making a film.

That '90s Show Callbacks to That '70s Shows

Jeff Merrick — Thu, 16 Feb 2023 04:00:16 GMT

That '70s Show's spinoff series, That '90s Show, has proven it's a worthy follow-up. Fans of the original will immediately recognizable the many catchphrases, its sing-along intro, green screen transitions, and being shot in front of a live studio audience, laugh track and all. With the original producers lending a hand in the new show's development and even Laura Prepon directing two episodes, That '90s Show uses the exact template that the original series established.

Drew Barrymore Brings Out the Best in Adam Sandler

Emmanuel Ronquillo — Thu, 16 Feb 2023 03:16:17 GMT

One of comedy's most recognizable icons, Adam Sandler's wildly successful acting career contains some of the highest highs, but also the lowest lows. For every Uncut Gems, there's a Jack and Jill. For every Grown Ups 2, there's Grown Ups. At his best, Sandler is one of the finest and funniest actors in all of Hollywood. At his worst, he's needlessly raunchy and distasteful. With such a vast filmography, it can be hard to pinpoint when Sandler is on his A-game. But a cursory glance at his best films and performances leads to one consistent factor: his impeccable chemistry and compatibility with Drew Barrymore. Barrymore and Sandler have co-starred in three films: The Wedding Singer, 50 First Dates, and Blended. Each of these films came out in different decades, yet they each feature Adam Sandler at his very best. The pinnacle of Sandler's performances are a product of his own comedic skills, but are elevated to new heights because of Barrymore's own wit, cheer, and heart. Considering the breadth of his acting career, it would be a disservice to say that Sandler only performs well alongside Barrymore. But if you're looking for the very best from Adam Sandler? If you want him at his funniest, most sincere, and most genuine? You need Barrymore to help push him to those incomparable heights.

Last of Us Season 2 Is Foreshadowed in Kathleen’s Revenge Monologue

Matt Shore — Thu, 16 Feb 2023 02:16:16 GMT

In a powerful monologue, Lynskey's Kathleen describes how her brother, Michael, acted as her emotional protector since the two were children. Michael's death robbed Kathleen of her source of psychological safety and unleashed the darkness and vengeful impulses within her. Though her brother was a man of kindness and forgiveness, Kathleen openly admits that she does not share those qualities. She wants revenge, and she will stop at nothing to find it.

'Showgirls' Review: I Finally Watched This Mess and Now My Soul May Rest

Emma Kiely — Thu, 16 Feb 2023 02:16:15 GMT

I’ll never forget when I was 17 or 18, and I was up until 3 am perusing Youtube for every Watch Mojo video I could watch. I stumbled upon one of their “worst movies ever made” videos. Adam Sandler, George Clooney’s Batman; all the usual suspects in the line-up of the worst of the worst. But then, something shimmery caught my eye. Is that Jessie from Saved by the Bell? Why is she talking about eating dog food? What is Orson from Desperate Housewives doing?? Since then, Showgirls has always been this urban myth to me. A film that just sounded so bad, it couldn't possibly be true. Yes, Showgirls has since been reconsidered a cult classic, but more so as an enjoyable watch to poke fun at rather than quality storytelling. Just for Collider, I finally faced this hot mess of glitter, boobs, and Kyle Machlan correcting pronunciations. And my god, was it a flaming hot mess that I will think about until my final day. I can now appreciate that we need to protect Showgirls at all costs. Even if it is genuinely one of the worst acted and written films of all time.

'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania' and More Movies About Shrinking People

Jeremy Urquhart — Thu, 16 Feb 2023 02:01:16 GMT

Now in its 15th year, the Marvel Cinematic Universe that officially began with 2008's Iron Man still seems to be going strong. 2023 marks the beginning of Phase 5 as well, which officially commences with the third Ant-Man movie, titled Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. While Ant-Man as a character is usually relied on for providing comic relief, Quantumania looks to shake things up by properly introducing Kang the Conquerer, a variant of whom was seen in Loki, and who will be an important overarching villain in the MCU going forward.

Midsommar Ending Explained: We're All in This Together

Adam Chitwood — Thu, 16 Feb 2023 01:45:16 GMT

Like his feature directorial debut Hereditary, writer/director Ari Aster’s daytime horror movie Midsommar has a lot on its mind. On the surface, this is the story of a young woman enduring the most unimaginable grief at the same time that her romantic relationship is falling apart, all while attending an increasingly ominous midsummer celebration at a remote Swedish commune. Digging deeper, this is a story about the importance of empathy, shared emotion, and finding family in the most unexpected places.

Tubi: Is It Really the Free Netflix?

Liam Gaughan — Thu, 16 Feb 2023 01:30:16 GMT

In the past decade, streaming services have transformed from a luxury afforded by a select few cinephiles into the dominant future of the entertainment industry. Streaming has not only replaced cable, but it’s been replacing movie theaters too; there’s been a crackdown on mid-budget adult entertainment films that aren’t blockbusters because they’ve become more successful on streaming services than in theaters. However, the popularity of the streaming method has led to monthly bills that are beginning to rival cable subscriptions or the cost of seeing multiple movies in theaters. Between Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO Max, Disney+, Apple TV+, Paramount+, Peacock, Hulu, Shudder, and the Criterion Channel, viewers are having to pick and choose what new content they can check out based on the services they subscribe to. It’s why many consumers are turning to Tubi, which has been dubbed the “Free Netflix.”

Gal Gadot Should Return to the 'Fast and the Furious' Movies

Liam Gaughan — Thu, 16 Feb 2023 01:00:16 GMT

Gal Gadot’s career is hardly in the same exciting place it was after Wonder Woman first debuted in 2017. At the time, she was heralded as a genuine breakout star who managed to redeem the DCEU after the highly disappointing Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad. Comparisons were even made between Gadot’s work and Christopher Reeve’s performance in 1978’s Superman: The Movie. However, it seems like she hasn’t been able to find the same success in her subsequent work over the past few years; Wonder Woman 1984 was a massive disappointment, the Netflix action comedy Red Notice drew scathing reviews, the solid reviews for Death on the Nile rarely highlighted her performance, and the infamous “Imagine” video has drawn nothing but criticism and jokes at her expense. It seems like Gadot needs a reset, and it might be best for her to return to the place that she got her start: The Fast and the Furious franchise.

'Class' Ending Explained: Who Killed Suhani Ahuja?

Shreejit Nair — Thu, 16 Feb 2023 00:45:16 GMT

Class on Netflix is the Indian adaptation of the hit Spanish series Elite. Just like the original, Class is set in a fictional elite high school named Hampton International. The story finds its heart in the mystery surrounding the death of Suhani Ahuja (Anjali Sivaraman), the daughter of a wealthy real estate magnate. Focusing on the complexities emerging after three underprivileged kids receive a scholarship into the high society school, Class is a worthy remake that capitalizes on its setting to present a story ridden with conflict, sex, teenage angst, betrayal, and rebellion.

Emma Thompson Was Underused in the Harry Potter Movies

Kendall Myers — Thu, 16 Feb 2023 00:30:16 GMT

The Harry Potter films included many talented actors, even some in small roles, but few are as underused as Emma Thompson. The renowned actress takes on the minor part of Professor Sybill Trelawney, who teaches divination to the students of Hogwarts. But the character appears in only three of the eight Harry Potter films; even then, she is never in the forefront. With such a large cast, several phenomenal actors don't get the time they deserve in the film series. But even among these, Thompson's situation is the most severe as her character is both unique and significant to the plot in ways the films didn't explore. Throughout the film series, Professor Trelawney and her unique ability to see the future are criminally underused. The nature of an adaptation is to deviate at least somewhat from the source material, and Harry Potter is no different. A lot had to be cut for the films, much to the anger of fans. But in the case of Trelawney, it really should have stayed, especially with the talent of Emma Thompson in the role.

'Cunk on Earth' Is the Mockumentary We Need Right Now

Patrick Fogerty — Thu, 16 Feb 2023 00:00:18 GMT

Why are we here? How did we get here? What is our purpose? Humankind has always had a deep yearning to find the answers to these empirical questions. To make sense of where we're going and to find meaning in our existence, we must first understand how we started on this strange journey called life. Now especially, in this seemingly unhinged era of deadly airborne viruses, UFOs floating over North America, and political unrest and upheaval, there's a compelling desire for us to connect with our past, so we can make better sense of our present and feel empowered to face our future.

Stephen King & George Romero’s Creepshow Proves Teaming Up Works

Samuel Williamson — Thu, 16 Feb 2023 00:00:17 GMT

In the history of horror, few projects have been made in the same vein as the 1982 anthology classic Creepshow, which really should have set a template that horror directors could still be building off of today. This all-killer-no-filler anthology chiller was brought about by a collaboration between horror novel legend Stephen King and indie-horror favorite George A. Romero. The film was inspired by the E.C. horror comics of the 1950s -- bright and colorful pulpy stories filled to the brim with fog, monsters, zombies, and ghouls. King and Romero bonded over their love for these comics, and the movie proves their passion is contagious. Creepshow is a blast, with each individual story within the film being so good that they are able to stand on their own. But together they create a fun, horror experience that somehow ends up feeling even greater than the sum of its impressive parts. This begs the question: Why don't more creative minds who are masters in their fields and/or genres come together and make projects together more often? If Creepshow is any indication, it's a foolproof plan for success!

How ‘Sleepless in Seattle’ Breaks the Rom-Com Rules

Aidan Bryant — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 23:45:16 GMT

The romantic comedy is a genre where many tread, but few master. If anyone has a claim to the throne of rom com god, Nora Ephron may be the one to wear the crown. Starting with writing Rob Reiner's When Harry Met Sally... she began to push the genre into the modern age. Her 1993 film Sleepless in Seattle, may be one of the most innovative. A film where the two leads, played by Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, share essentially one scene together, is regarded as a classic, and one of the most romantic films ever made. With modern films such as Your Place or Mine struggling to make the same formula work, what made Ephron's effort click? How did a master manage to craft a whirlwind romance with just one scene?

Harry Potter: Steven Spielberg Nearly Directed an Animated Version

Douglas Laman — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 23:16:16 GMT

Today, it’s hard to imagine physical versions of the Harry Potter characters that aren’t inhabited by actors like Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, or Rupert Grint. Over eight movies, these performers and so many others have been cemented as the de facto image of iconic figures from this series. But long before the Horcruxes and the Sorting Hat graced the silver screen, there was a point in time when Harry Potter was just one of an infinite number of popular children’s books hankering for a feature film adaptation. This is where a prospective animated take on the material from director Steven Spielberg comes into play.

Jeffrey Speicher — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 22:30:16 GMT

The Netflix hit All Quiet on the Western Front, released on the streamer last October, has been nominated for an unexpected 14 BAFTA Awards and nine Academy Awards.

‘Last of Us’: Troy Baker Explains Endure and Survive Meaning

Shrishty — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 22:28:58 GMT

The Last of Us Episode 5 gave us nerve-wracking action sequences but not without another heartbreaking story at its core.

This will be the third installment of the Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly franchise and it will serve as the most impactful one to date, not just because of the overarching villain that will be introduced, but because of the extensive dive into the quantum realm. There have been a handful of prior MCU properties that have dipped its toe into this world, including the two prior Ant-Man movies, but none of them will use it as the backdrop to tell its story.

Warner Bros. Discovery's ambitions for the HBO Max streaming service continue to be fluid, as it was recently announced that plans to fully combine HBO Max and Discovery+ into one new service were being scrapped. Instead, Discovery+ will be maintained as a standalone service. Plans to launch a new streamer that combines HBO Max programming with lots of Discovery+ programs are still in motion, with that entity launching in spring 2023. It’s a frustrating development on several fronts and one that demonstrates which streaming service is getting the preferential treatment by Warner Bros. Discovery brass. HBO is about to be closer than ever with Discovery+ “content” but that doesn't mean it had to be this way.

The MCU Will Feature Fewer TV Shows in Phase 5, Says Kevin Feige

Erick Massoto — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 20:26:44 GMT

After Avengers: Endgame, Marvel Studios fans were met with a Phase Four that was overwhelming in many ways. Aside from the introduction (and re-introduction) of a huge slate of characters, the studio doubled down on TV productions, which gave viewers something new to check out every few months. For the future, however, Marvel boss Kevin Feige reveals that Marvel’s rollout of titles won’t happen quite the same way again.

'The Flash': Who Was Asking for More Zod?

Liam Gaughan — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 20:16:16 GMT

The first trailer for the highly-anticipated yet controversial new DC film The Flash teased the return of many iconic characters from the history of DC adaptations, including iterations of Bruce Wayne played by Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck. While The Flash seems intent on using the freedom of the speedforce to bring back multiple characters from the past, the trailer also teased that in this alternate timeline, Michael Shannon’s version of General Zod is still alive. While Shannon is one of the greatest actors working today, he clearly has better things to do than show up for a needless role in a film universe that’s coming to a close. Did anyone really ask for more Zod content?

How The Wasp's Story Differs Between the MCU & Marvel Comics

Usama Masood — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 20:00:16 GMT

Marvel may have given Ant-Man the limelight when introducing its micro heroes into the MCU, but it’s really The Wasp who was the bigger deal when The Avengers first banded together in Marvel Comics. Hope Van Dyne (played on screen by Evangeline Lilly) plays a prominent role in the Ant-Man & The Wasp films, as well as in the upcoming Marvel film, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania. But who is The Wasp and just how comic book accurate is she within the MCU?

Before Knock at the Cabin, M. Night Shyamalan Explored Faith in Signs

Samuel Williamson — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 19:15:16 GMT

M. Night Shyamalan is well known for the deeply sentimental and emotive nature of many of his works, something that he branches further into when his films portray faith. Both his 2002 classic Signs and last week's release Knock at the Cabin are films deeply rooted in the ideas of having faith in something, and the ways that different individuals grapple with this. While his other films have a tendency for genuinely moving and emotional scenes, other parts of his filmography veer over into schmaltzy territory.

'True Detective: Night Country' Teaser: Jodie Foster & Kali Reis Partner Up

Britta DeVore — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 19:04:01 GMT

There’s no arguing that when it comes to hit HBO shows, True Detective is at the top of the list. The debut Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson-led season would give way to two follow-up installments that saw several other A-list names including Colin Farrell, Vince Vaughn, Rachel McAdams, Mahershala Ali, and Carmen Ejogo swapped in and out of the call sheet. After four years that have felt more like four decades, the crime thriller is finally back with True Detective: Night Country. Aside from casting announcements and the reveal that production had started back in the fall, media releases have been slim when it comes to the Jodie Foster-led return. But that all changed today when HBO dropped a fresh teaser, giving audiences a short, but exciting peek at the show’s comeback.

Is the New 'Night Court' as Good as the Original?

Lloyd Farley — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 18:45:16 GMT

It's difficult to fathom that a person, let alone a group of people, were pushing for a revival of the 1984-1992 series Night Court — apart from 30 Rock's Kenneth (Jack McBrayer), who saw his wish for a proper series finale for the show granted thanks to Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) in one of the funniest moments of that series. Yet, here we are, with a new Night Court airing on Tuesday nights, a continuation of the original series.

Broussard not only served as producer for Quantumania, but his most recent projects with Marvel Studios include some exciting moves, including the new Disney+ series, Loki, where fans were first introduced to the MCU’s Kang the Conqueror (sort of), played by Jonathan Majors, as well as last year’s special, Werewolf by Night.

After months of short teasers and images, the eight-episode midlife crisis tale now has an official full-length trailer that introduces us to the abrasive and angry personality of Odenkirk's William Henry Devereaux Jr. and the drama that kind of person brings to a college campus, especially as the head of the English department. The series is set to debut on March 19, 2023.

Football Legend John Madden Gets Biopic Miniseries

Rob London — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 18:36:15 GMT

The life story of legendary football coach, broadcaster, and video game maven John Madden is coming to the small screen. Gavin O'Connor will direct the upcoming miniseries.

'Magic Mike's Last Dance' Ending Explained: Is This Really the End?

Nick L — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 18:00:18 GMT

Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Magic Mike's Last DanceThe grand finale of Magic Mike’s Last Dance, whatever you end up thinking of the alternately melancholic and endearingly meandering film that precedes it, truly is one for the books. The climax of Steven Soderbergh’s third (his second as director) and ostensibly final film in the Magic Mike trilogy is a sustained, breathlessly hyperkinetic, and at times, very literally, wet explosion of song, dance, and graceful bodies in motion. For so many of us, it is the definition of "pure cinema."

Rahul Malhotra — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 18:00:07 GMT

The comedy drama threequel made $1.93 million, taking its running domestic total to just over $11 million in five days. Context is especially important here; the third Magic Mike movie is making significantly less than both previous entries in the franchise, mainly because Warner Bros. gave it a targeted release in just 1,496 theaters.

‘Marlowe’ Review: Liam Neeson’s 100th Film Makes You Thirsty For More

Erick Massoto — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 17:16:19 GMT

Watching any Liam Neeson-starring movie is rarely a bad experience. Even in the titles that feel repetitive – namely, those countless action flicks he’s starred in ever since Taken – his performances always find a way to pull you in and get you at least a little bit involved in the story. In his hundredth film Marlowe, this isn’t any different, even though by its very nature, the story doesn’t focus too much on the title character.

'Poker Face' Season 2 Renewed

Kevin McCall — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 17:10:43 GMT

Erick Massoto — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 17:10:07 GMT

As long-time Marvel comic book fans know, you can’t have a connected Marvel universe without the Fantastic Four. However, due to a lot of legal reasons, that was the case ever since the MCU kicked off in 2008. Now, with the family of superheroes under Marvel Studios’ control, it’s time to see them in theaters in a whole new light, and studio boss Kevin Feige knows exactly how they have to be featured in the existing multiverse—and it's an ambitious plan.

Keanu Reeves Says He Disproves of Digitally Altered Performances

Diego Peralta — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 17:06:34 GMT

Keanu Reeves, the actor known for his roles in the Matrix and John Wick films, is staying away from digitally-altered performances. In a recent interview with Wired, Reeves expressed his intentions to keep his performances coming from himself, instead of a computer-generated duplicate. The technique is mostly used in instances where the actor needed for a scene isn't able to be on set due to passing away or scheduling conflicts. An example of a digitally-altered performance would be Grand Moff Tarkin's appearance in the 2016 Star Wars spin-off Rogue One, where the character played a minor role even though Peter Cushing passed away in 1994.

Barry Estelhomme — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 17:00:17 GMT

New 'Scooby-Doo' Movie Featuring The Hex Girls Axed at Warner Bros.

Shane Romanchick — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 16:50:21 GMT

Over the last number of months, Warner Brothers Discovery and the company’s new CEO David Zaslav have been reshaping the studio's offerings from the DC Universe and beyond. This included canceling films like Batgirl and The Wonder Twins. However, another major franchise that has been affected by the recent WBD merger has been a pup named Scooby-Doo. The classic animated series saw its sequel to Scoob!, Scoob: Holiday Haunt axed in favor of a tax write-off last summer. However, while many Scooby-Doo fans weren’t happy with the decision, it has been learned that this wasn’t the only cancelled Scooby-Doo film. Director Carolyn Gair recently revealed that her film Scooby-Doo and the Haunted High Rise also became the victim of the dreaded tax write-off. The worst part is, the movie was set to bring back the series’ fan-favorite fictional band The Hex Girls.

'Scream 6' Image: Ghostface Is on the Chase

Britta DeVore — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 16:41:39 GMT

Ghostface is on the move in a brand-new still from Scream VI. In the image, courtesy of IGN, the killer is in hot pursuit of his target - tattered robes and all! In the background, we see a projection of Ghostface’s mask up against a white sheet with metal poles holding it up. Could this attack be happening at a summer screening of one of the Stab films? Or maybe it has something to do with the killer’s lair, which serves as an homage to the franchise’s slashers of yesteryear that we’ve caught glimpses of in teasers and trailers for the film? Whatever the case may be, judging by the giant slice taken out of the sheet, we’re thinking that the killer was going for a surprise entrance.

Kevin Feige on Casting Harrison Ford in 'Captain America: New World Order'

Erick Massoto — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 16:31:05 GMT

Muppets Remakes We'd Like to See Now That Disney Owns Everything

Aled Owen — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 16:30:16 GMT

The Muppets are some of the few TV characters and intellectual properties (IP) to transcend their TV show and become more famous for their movies. After the success of their first three movies, The Muppet Movie, The Great Muppet Caper, and The Muppets Take Manhattan between 1979 and 1984, the Jim Henson characters transitioned to Muppet-themed adaptations of classic stories. These movies include their retellings of classic stories, such as A Muppet Christmas Carol starring Michael Caine, Muppet Treasure Island starring Tim Curry, and The Muppets' Wizard of Oz. Naturally, IP that is old enough becomes public domain, meaning there is an abundance of stories The Muppets can adapt without issue, but now with Disney owning not only the Jim Henson characters but also an abundance of acquisitions from Fox, Pixar, Marvel, and Lucasfilm, here are 10 adaptations the Muppets could theoretically remake under Disney's banner

Paul Rudd’s Best Performance Is Also His Douchiest

Samuel Williamson — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 15:45:16 GMT

It's hard to think of many 21st-century actors that are as likable as Paul Rudd, which is what makes his major douchebag performance as Andy in Wet Hot American Summer all the more fun. Here, Rudd plays a lazy, obnoxious, unfaithful, complete and total blowhard. All this to say, it doesn't matter that Andy is a self-centered airhead. Rudd is so over the top and hilarious in the role that he ends up becoming one of the main reasons that every Wet Hot fan latches on to the series. It's a fantastic contrast to the usual lovable-yet-oblivious character type that he has become known for. In the decades since, Rudd has become one of the world's most reliable comedic actors, and more recently, has branched off into big-ticket superhero films. He is one of the current faces of the MCU as Scott Lang, also known as Ant-Man, and very soon, will have his third solo-outing as the character in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. No matter how big his career gets, though, he'll never outgrow one of the earliest roles in his filmography as a massive douche.

'Ouija' Ending Explained: The Dead Are Never Truly Gone

Elisa Guimarães — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 15:45:15 GMT

Based on the Hasbro board game of the same name, 2014’s Ouija tells the story of a group of teenagers that accidentally establish a connection with a malignant entity while trying to contact their dead friend.
