In a latest attempt to have a thriller movie to become a box office hit, writer-director Stiles White introduces "Ouija", a horror movie based on the popular board game that is used to talk to the dead.

Starring Shelley Hennig whose character hangs herself after consulting the mystical board, Ouija is forecast to be this Halloween season's No. 1 horror film with an opening estimated sales of $911,000.

That's nearly as much as 2012's Halloween film "Sinister", which earned up to $18 million during its opening weekend.

"Ouija has a steady directorial hand, some attractive young actors who taking the silliness seriously and few admirable genre elements," Time's Richard Corliss described the flick adding that the film's makers capitalized on the suspense element over shock to keep moviegoers glued to their seats.

Shown in about 2,858 theaters nationwide, Ouija is set to garner enough attention this Halloween weekend as it is forecast to end its opening week at $20 million total sales.

Though it is not very unique, Ouija's plot written by White and co-writer Juliet Snowden is seen to have those who have given up on watching chiller flicks for Halloween to reconsider.

The story begins with Debbie's (Shelley Hennig) untimely death following suspicious occurrences around her house after consulting with the Ouija board.

Hoping to communicate with her dead friend, her life-long best friend Laine played by Olivia Cooke decides to use the board to talk to Debbie.

As Laine plays the game with her other friends played by Douglas Smith and Ana Coto, a "Hi friend" message appears on the board.

The creepy part begins when the group, thinking the message was from Debbie, receives the same message over and over, freaking each other out into repeating the same old mantra "it's just a game."
