Jessabelle (2014)
Good story and there were some decently done creepy set-pieces but overall not as much scary as I thought. And for that I think the thriller aspect or that mystery surrounding about the ghost's identity dominates the 2nd half more than the horror aspect or scare parts. Nevertheless, it was a good flick and I liked it.
But there's one thing that's bugging me....
**SPOILER AHEAD**
May be the ritual had something to do with it but how come a ghost or a spirit grows old over the years? According to our known myth about the ghosts...the aging for a spirit or a soul stops just at the point of death but here the original Jessabelle dies as an infant but her corporal ghost returns as a young woman to haunt & posses the other Jessabelle! I understand it'd suck but they could work with an idea something like this...only her boyfriend dies in the car crush, the unborn child somehow or miraculously left unharmed and then when a devastated Jessi returns to her childhood home the infant ghost of the original Jessi starts to haunt her & tries to posses the body of her newly born child...:halloween:

Ouija (2014)
As a for a teen horror flick, surprising it turned out a decent time waster. Liked the way they kept it all simple & there wasn't any annoying character at least. Expected the final showdown would be more atmospheric & creepy but anyway, overall it was okay & fairly entertaining.
