‘Ouija: Origin of Evil’ Film, Updates: New Extended TV Spot Promises More Terrifying Evil Spirits; Official Posters Creepier than Ever

‘Ouija: Origin of Evil’ released a new extended television spot that promises more terrifying evil spirits lifted out of a seemingly innocent board game. New official posters also feature creepy images of a haunted child.

According to Collider, Universal Pictures recently dropped the new extended television spot for Mike Flanagan’s upcoming supernatural-horror film intended as the follow-up to sleeper hit ‘Ouija’, released last 2014.

The first film was directed by Stiles White, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Juliet Snowden. The film was deemed a box office success despite receiving generally negative reviews from critics upon its release on October 2014. According to Box Office Mojo, ‘Ouija’ earned $103.59 million worldwide on a production budget of $5 million.

Flanagan’s follow-up will feature an entirely different cast from the first film. It stars Elizabeth Reaser, Annalise Basso, Henry Thomas, Parker Mack, Sam Anderson, and Kate Siegel among others.

According to Comingsoon.net, the new film is set almost five decades prior to the events in the first film in 1965 Los Angeles. It follows a widow and her two daughters as they attempt to enhance their séance scam business with a new stunt. However, this allows a real evil entity to enter their home and posses the younger child Doris.

New posters posted on Dread Central also depicted scary images from the upcoming film. Art featured on the posters showed a little girl that is seemingly haunted by the infamous board game.

Flanagan directs a screenplay together with Jeff Howard, who he collaborated with on the horror films ‘Oculus’ and ‘Before I Wake.’ The film is produced by Michael Bay, Brad Fuller, and Andrew Form of Platinum Dunes as well as Blumhouse Production’s Jason Blum. It will be distributed by Universal Pictures in the United States.

‘Ouija: Origin of Evil’ is an upcoming supernatural horror film scheduled to be released in the United States on October 21, 2016.
