Try this for a hellish combination: Ouija is brought to you by pulp mogul Michael Bay, toy manufacturer Hasbro and Jason Blum, producer of the Paranormal Activity series. This is a listless tale of young suburbanites who tangle with the eponymous apparatus for contacting spirits, a baleful device that we learn you must never, ever mess with (although Hasbro offers a glow-in-the-dark version for around 30 quid). The bumps and thumps are mechanical, the young stars insipid and the otherworldly entity the kids contact is called Doris. Given that the film has taken more than $20m in its first week in the States, I suppose we should gird ourselves for a sequel. But seriously – can you imagine queuing for “Ouija 2: The Return of Doris”?
