The Ouija Board and the Ring
22 December 2022
The investment broker Brian (David Nerman) is unemployed and looking for a job. His girlfriend Julie (Locky Lambert), who is anthropologist, is financially supporting their home and Brian does not feel good with the situation. When he meets his landlord Francis Redman (Cedric Smith), the old man invites Brian to drink with him at home. Francis shows a Ouija board, where he contacts a spirit that tells him to invest in an orange company. Brian does not pay much attention but on the next day, he sees on the news that the company had a huge rise in the stock market. Brian meets with Francis again on the roof of their building and the landlord gives a ring to Brian. Then he jumps off the roof, committing suicide. Brian steals his Ouija board and contacts the spirit that tells him to invest in a coffee company. Brian borrows money with the shark loan Finch (Addison Bell) for 24 h, but the company crashes in the stock market. When Brian goes to Finch's office with the Ouija board, Finch and his bodyguard says that they will cut one of Brian's fingers. Out of the blue, they are murdered by a strange force. On the next morning, Brian learns that the coffee company had a surprising raise an he has won a lot of money. He decides to destroy the Ouija board in the boiler of the building, but he gets shocked and dies. Julie is arriving at home and calls an ambulance and the paramedics unsuccessfully try to revive him. Out of the blue, he revives but possessed by an evil spirit. Brian changes his behavior, harasses Julie's best friend, Lisa (Donna Sarrasin), and wants to have a son with Julie. Meanwhile Brian tries to contact Julie through the mirrors.

"Witchboard III: The Possession" is a nice supernatural Canadian story of Ouija board. The screenplay is well-developed although with at least one great flaw. Why Dora, performed by Danette Mackay, would give her amulet of protection to Julie and Brian if she is hunted down by the evil spirit? Anyway, it is a good horror movie that has not aged. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Possessão" ("Possession")
