Stiles White, writer of supernatural flick The Possession and a credited co-writer on the truly kooky Knowing, makes his directorial debut. Olivia Cooke, a winning presence on TV's Bates Motel but stuck in a thankless role on this year's The Quiet Ones, stars with Douglas Smith (Stage Fright). Michael Bay's production company Platinum Dunes is involved, and so is Jason Blum, a specialist in low-budget horror, whose Paranormal Activity featured a Ouija board.
The trailers features a number of familiar beats -- snippets of horror moments we've all seen before -- but, as always, it's the delivery that counts. Ouija will open wide in U.S. theaters on October 24, just in time for the pumpkin holiday.
