OUIJA

Six backpachers end up in an old abandoned guest house on a stormy night. They find an old Ouija board in the house and decide to play. Slowly the funfilled night turns into horror for everyone when the coin starts to move on its own.
Amongst the six, Ritika had come to the mountains in search for her sister who had disappeared a year ago.
Through the game she connects with her only to realise that she passed away in an accident but she wasn't alone.

Director Statement

The scene is taking place in an old abandoned guest house where five backpackers join Ritika and play Ouija. There is a storm outside because of which there is no electricity. The only source of light is candles, oil lamps and a dully lit fireplace. Everyone sit close together and play Ouija: The game of spirits. As the game unfolds there is a sense of mockery and horror. When the name of the Spirit starts to spell out, the candle lights start to flicker and the whistling of wind increases. Ritika is terrified to see her dead sister moving the coin. When the dead sister spells out Ritika’s name all the lights go off and the movie ends.
