Universal Pictures Home Entertainment has released the following synopsis for ‘Oujia’:
After Debbie (Shelley Hennig, ‘Teen Wolf’) suddenly dies, her best friend Laine (Olivia Cooke, ‘Bates Motel’) attempts to contact her using an antique Ouija board she finds in Debbie’s room. When the curious teen begins asking the board questions and stumbles upon the mystery of her friend’s death, Laine discovers a resident spirit calling itself DZ, and eerie, inexplicable events begin to follow her. The group of friends digs deeper into the history of Debbie’s house and are shocked to find that Debbie wasn’t the first victim—and won’t be be the last if they don’t figure out how to close the portal to the spirit world they’ve opened.
The otherworldly thriller also stars Douglas Smith (‘Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters’), Bianca A. Santos (‘The Fosters’), Ana Coto (‘DISconnected’) and Daren Kagasoff (‘The Secret Life of the American Teenager’).
