If you loved Ouija: Origin of Evil, try Absentia
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Absentia has roughly 6.9× fewer votes than Ouija: Origin of Evil — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Mike Flanagan, and they both carry the dread, gut punch mood tags, and they sit in Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Ouija: Origin of Evil, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Absentia is
Suburban Boston. Seven years gone. A pile of old shirts. Mounting legal pressure meets stubborn hope when a woman prepares to declare her husband dead in absentia. Her sister's arrival stirs a dark, subterranean mystery nearby. Flanagan's low-budget debut earns its Lovecraft comparisons.
