Unfortunately, this wasn’t entirely clear to some test audiences who got to see an early cut of Ouija: Origin Of Evil, as they believed that the film was trying to connect the series with another horror franchise: specifically Insidious.
While most of writer/director Mike Flanagan’s Ouija: Origin of Evil is kept distant from its predecessor – set decades before the events in the first Ouija – the sequel does connect the two stories with its post-credits sequence.
Picking up a good 50 years after the very end of the movie, a shot reconnects audiences with mental hospital patient Lina Zander, who has grown older and is played by Lin Shaye, as she was in the 2014 film.
