Despite the pre-release hype, Ouija didn’t live up to my expectations. It’s intended to be a horror movie but it’s weakened by a terrible cast and paltry directing.

A film by Bernardo Bertolucci who is mostly known for his giant epic Novecento. This is one of his latest films and tells the story of Siddaharta who goes through a spiritual journey to finally become Buddha. It seems to me Bertolucci isn’t any longer the talented filmmaker he …
