During the recent press day for Ouija: Origin of Evil, Daily Dead had the opportunity to sit down and chat with several of the film’s cast members, including Elizabeth Reaser, Henry Thomas, Annalise Basso, and Lulu Wilson.
In the prequel, Reaser plays the mother to both Basso and Wilson's characters, and the trio of actresses must contend with evil forces after bringing home a Ouija board in hopes of enhancing their séance business. Thomas co-stars in the film as Father Tom, a priest who steps in to offer his assistance to the family in an effort to stop the supernatural tormentor once and for all.
During the interviews, the Origin of Evil cast discussed what appealed to them about their respective roles in the character-driven sequel, their experiences collaborating with Flanagan and each other throughout production, and how much they appreciated the fact that the film wanted to give audiences strong characters to invest in, which can be a rarity in the horror genre.
Check out our video interviews with the cast from Ouija: Origin of Evil below, and look for the film in theaters this weekend.
