Hasbro actually sells ouija boards, didn’t you know?

I can’t believe that Hasbro has an ouija board at all, while I cannot say I totally buy into the whole ghost-business thing (too many of those “ghost-hunter” shows that are all too obviously set-ups has made me rather cynical) I do find aspects of the supernatural to be fascinating and am tempted to get one of these just for the experience.

@scorn  
Producer, not director. Otherwise it would’ve been that way for sure.
 
As Scrounge said:  

@boilerwash  
>michael bay was the producer
 
So there were fireballs and explosions and product placement as far as the eye could see?

@boilerwash  
Unless the ghosts blew up in giant fireballs, he probably didn’t get involved much with the movie.

@Scrounge  
A friend had me go see this with them last night, the reviews are correct theres literally nothing this movie offers that hasn’t been done a million times already. EVERY and I mean EVERY scare is a stupid jump scare, plus it uses every over used cliche’ in the book.
 
I’m not kidding theres:  
Missing in action parents  
30 year old “teenagers”  
Flickering lights whenever a ghost present  
The house is haunted by the girl murdered there  
Theres the surviving family member in an asylum to provide exposition  
The mexican maid that just happens to be a random expert in the occult  
The little girls ghost is actually evil “twist”  
4 teenagers die in a 3 day period and the cops don’t ask questions
 
Somebody just took a tv tropes page and wrote a script over it.
 
Micheal Bay was producer BTW.

“U-P-Y-O-U-R-S!”  
“Up yours?! What a rude Ouija board!”

I’m still somewhat amused by the fact that Hasbro are the ones holding the patent on the Ouija board.

@Itsthinking  
It’s out already? I kinda wasn’t paying attention to it, not really big on that kind of movie and the trailer I saw did not one damn thing to convince me it would be interesting.
 
Of this year’s three Hasbro movies, I kinda expected Rainbow Rocks to be least painful. I seem to have called it. Ouija doesn’t seem to offer anything that’s worth the time if the reviews are to be trusted, and Age of Extinction, at least to me, was downright depressing, but Rainbow Rocks actually exceeded my (admittedly low, given that I found EG1 kind of bland) expectations. It’s no “Guardians of the Galaxy” or anything, but there’s a lot of good moments and it’s at the very least worth watching while we’re waiting for season 5.

@Scrounge  
Ouija is flopping critically. We’ll see financially, but it was released at a bad time. Didn’t cost too much to make so not really much of a loss.

Well, you all kept asking for a pony movie actually based around ponies, looks like it’s coming.
 
Assuming the Ouija and Jem movies don’t completely tank and derail the whole plan.

I somehow suspect it’ll wind up a bit on the higher side of that budget, plust that’s not set in stone. The article says Hasbro is “said to be considering bankrolling movies in the $5 million to $30 million budget range”, which to me seems to indicate that things could change.

I am intrigued how they expect to make a movie about Hungry Hungry Hippos.

For just a five-million dollar budget they had better get Sam Raimi to direct it.

Pure genius here. :)
