Ouija Shark (2020)

Ouija Shark is special because it commits, with a straight face and a mischievous grin, to one of the most gloriously ridiculous premises in modern B-horror: a spirit-board-summoned, man-eating ghost shark. The low-budget edges aren’t something it tries to hide—they’re the whole point, turning every spooky beat and creature-feature moment into campy comedy that plays best with friends, snacks, and a willingness to laugh at the audacity. There’s an oddly sincere momentum to it, too, as it barrels from beachside bad decisions into occult mayhem with the kind of “did they really just do that?” energy that keeps you watching. If you need polished scares or prestige filmmaking, this isn’t your wave, but if you’re on the fence and craving a hilariously bad crowd-pleaser, it’s an easy hour of entertaining chaos.

Ouija Shark is clearly aiming for goofy, low-budget horror-comedy chaos: teen beach antics, a cursed spirit board, and a supernatural shark with a side of occult weirdness. The problem is it doesn’t land as either scary or satisfyingly funny, because the effects are distractingly cheap, the acting is stiff, and the story lurches from scene to scene like it’s making things up mid-sentence. If you’re hoping for a “so-bad-it’s-good” party watch, this one often crosses the line into just plain tedious and embarrassing rather than enjoyably ridiculous. The only real appeal is the sheer audacity of the concept, so it’s best reserved for completionists of micro-budget schlock who genuinely don’t mind watching a film struggle in every department.
