Cooke 's second feature film '' The Signal '' , with Brenton Thwaites and Laurence Fishburne , opened at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival . Cooke starred as Haley Peterson , an American MIT student transferring to Caltech , who encounters strange occurrences as she , her boyfriend , and her best friend are lured into the desert by a hacker . In October 2014 , Cooke led the cast of '' Ouija '' , a horror film based on Hasbro 's board game . The role of the protagonist , Laine Morris , was a major undertaking for Cooke , who appeared in almost every scene . The story centred around a group of friends who use the Ouija board to contact a deceased friend , but end up awakening a dark presence . Despite being panned by critics , '' Ouija '' was a box office success , grossing approximately $ 102.5 million worldwide
