Bayview Entertainment has locked into Apr. 25 for the domestic Blu-ray debut of the British anthology horror tale, Ouija Experiment (aka: Para-Psych Trauma), directed by five different genre filmmakers — Jackson Batchelor, Simon Berry, Sam Mason-Bell, Mike Peter Reed and Martin W. Payne.
It starts out as an experiment, which the five participants, Sean (Chris Mills — Video Shop Tales of Terror, Millennial Killer), Martha (Teo Dumitrul), Graham (Chris Wrein — Maniacal), Debbie (Eve Kathryn Oliver — Edge of Extinction, Powertool Cheerleaders vs the Boyband of the Screeching Dead) and Rebecca (Katie Watson — Decline, Son of a Gun), not really taking it seriously. They are to do a session with what is dubbed a spirit board (Ouija Board) and then spend the next 30 days documenting their post-session experiences.
Of course, it is a lot of nonsense, but they’ve agreed to the session, which is actually a research project initiated by one of the participants, Rebecca, as part of her graduate thesis.
The “lab rats” set about to document their post-Ouija stories with a good deal of skepticism … fun and games; a joke. But that doesn’t last long — each segment from a different director — as Sean appears to have brought home an unseen entity who has fixated on his girlfriend, Lacey (played by Jessica Hunt — The Unwanted, The Truth Will Out). It proceeds to beat her and drag her about their apartment each night, leaving her bruised and shaken. Gee, thanks honey, what did you bring home!!
Or, Graham, who begins seeing visions of his deceased wife, who — get this — wants him to kill himself so that he can be with her in the hereafter. Really? Is that love or hate?
And what of our little milquetoast Debbie, whose husband likes to abuse her at will … a regular little punching bag she is. But wait, poor little sad-sack Debbie seems to have brought home a friend who will soon make Henry (Mark Margason) regret all of those beatings.
And what of Rebecca, who started all this? She may have the worst of it. You can almost imagine her thesis being a lone-liner … “don’t bring malevolent spirits home who mean you harm.”
Let the anthology scares begin on Apr. 25 with the Blu-ray debut of Ouija Experiment from Bayview Entertainment.
