Matt invites Kay and Noah over to help decorate for a party. But what he really means is he wants them to clean up a spare room full of junk. It’s not clear why this room would need to be touched at all, since this appears to be an office and a warehouse with a bunch of small rooms off a long hallway. Just have the party in another room.
The two find a ouija board and start to play with it. If you want to hear someone ask, “is anybody there” about twenty times, then this scene is for you.
Elaine, who I think it Matt’s mom, is irritated at everything and super controlling. She sends Matt out to get a cake even though someone else is planning on bringing one. She yells at Noah and Kay because they are playing with the ouija rather than working, even though they were invited to decorate, not clean. She’s mad at Candy from the party store who supplied free balloons in exchange for free studio time, because the balloons should have been a different color. She’s mad at Lynette because she doesn’t know who invited her so she puts her to work cleaning shelves. She’s mad at Star who was hired to strip. And she’s mad again at Noah and Kay because Noah wouldn’t have gotten injured if he’d been working rather than playing with the ouija. Can someone please hit Elaine in the head or lock her in a closet until this is over?
This is a bunch of people wandering around trying to get things set up for a party that never happens. And why they need that little room cleaned is never explained. Why does the party need to be in that room? Why can’t it be in the large room at the end of the hall? And why didn’t Matt clean the room since he lives there?
The most confusing part of this movie is when they use the ouija board. The messages are random acronyms, yet they understand each one. Since when does a ouija use acronyms? It spells out ISBL and they say okay we’re talking to Isabella. Then it spells JNUS. Oh it’s saying join us. RTHR. Oh it’s right here. How would anyone get that from those letters?
Also when Noah gets a head injury, they give him alcohol. Jesus, that’s the last thing you should do if someone needs to lie down after hitting their head. And they know the ouija rules are you need to say goodbye, but Kay is totally cavalier about it, and says they’ll do it later. That’s not how saying goodbye works
Ridiculous dialogue:
