Movie Reviews of Witchboard
Movie Review: GOOD MOVIE!!!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw this movie back in the eighties when it first came out on vhs tape. A few years ago I thought to look for it on dvd. I could not believe it wasn't available! I thought this was one of the best movies from my childhood! Well since it has come out on dvd I have rewatched it. I'll admit it was a lot more exciting the first time around. But it really wasn't too bad the second time around either! (some 15 years later!)I LOVE!!! Tawny Kitaen!!!!! I always thought she was SOOOO GORGEOUS! (And I still do!) She is the beautiful sex kitten in many of the 80's Whitesnake videos. (I'd like to have those on dvd too!) I think she was also in "WKRP in Cincinatti" but am not POSITIVE about that. At any rate the movie is worth watching for her alone. But the other actors are great as well. The psychic girl I realized was doctor Susan's sister Chloe on the show E.R. and her ex-boyfriend in the movie played a character named "Patch" on "Days of Our Lives". And he is HOT! Well obviously the movie is about playing with a ouija (or "witch") board. Linda (Tawny Kitaen's character) starts playing with it a party one night for fun and ends up becoming addicted to it. Well a lot of bad things happen and we find out later on that she hasn't been speaking with whom she thought she was through the board and she eventually becomes POSESSED. (I thought that was SO COOL when I was a kid!) Well I can't tell you how it ends but some people die and well some don't and to find out more you really should see it for yourself. I am adding this movie to my Christmas List for this year. It's a cool movie. I give it 4 stars. Maybe 4.5. BTW I DO believe that it is dangerous to play with ouija boards and I DO NOT RECCOMEND IT. I believe in the spirit world and I don't think we should mess with it in this way. That is my belief anyway.Movie Review: It scared the hell out of me..!! -Great 80's none slasher
Summary: 4 Stars
I remember this movie. -It scared the hell each time
after the flick is done and I get chills down my spine
just thinking this movie was really creepy. -I think
this movie was attendand as drive in B movies. -Instead
they made this a world wide release and drive in's.
This is still great fun 80's stuff and now thanks too
Anchor Bay. -DVD. -I finally get two relive this spine
chilling supernatural nightmare and enjoy. -"Witchboard.."
as it was meant two be.. -Great 80s cast; -even though
this was made for drive in's and it thrives well where
ever it pops up. -VHS or DVD. -Witchboard will enter are
passion threw decades too come.
This movie begins with a party with Lindas boyfriend and Jim
being total jerks after playing a ouja baord then Linda
Kitean starts using the board days on end and weird
things begin too happen such as deaths. -One thing that
really creeps me is David and his other visitor that
Linda has spoken too. -Even the wood pile death scene
and the lake scene is more creepy then.. "The Amityville
Horror.." -Or; -"Carrie.."
Back then. -The movie it self looks like a 80's slasher
icon like the Friday the 13th. -Evil Dead.. -Hellraiser.. Movies. -Back then..
This film may be pointless.. -Slow.. -But I just watch
to entertain my self and once again let it scared the
crap out of me; -again..
Avoid; -Witchboard III. -But; -like; -Witchboard II:
the Devil Doorway. -1993..
Instead..
Movie Review: Witchboard

Story:
Linda (Tawny Kitaen) throws a little party at home with a few friends. A Ouija Board is brought out to help liven up the party. Linda begins contacting a spirit through the Ouija Board. The spirit wants to possess Linda and cross over into the land of the living. It's up to Linda's boyfriend (Todd Allen) and ex (Stephen Nichols) to stop the evil spirit from taking over Linda.
Review:
I just love movies about possession. This little gem was directed by Kevin S. Tenney who also directed Night of the Demons. I was really surprised with the acting in this film. Tawny Kitaen actually put on a very believable performance. There was a very serious tone throughout the entire film. That made it all the more interesting and fun to watch. We also get some pretty good humor mixed in with all the seriousness. Kathleen Wilhoite did a great job as the wacky psychic. Her humor and character were greatly appreciated. Witchboard delivered some pretty spooky scenes. I actually jumped quite a few times before it ended. I won't be buying a Ouija Board anytime soon. Too creepy.
Pros:
When Linda is having the dream sequence and the evil spirit shows up behind her with an axe. Kathleen Wilhoite's death sequence was also a highlight. The film did a great job with the supernatural effects. It made me believe in ghosts.
Cons:
Some pacing problems. Nothing too bad.
Movie Review: Fun 80's supernatural flick!
Summary: 4 Stars
Sexy Linda (Tawny Kitaen) plays with a Oujia board with some friends at a party as she becomes addicted to it and communicates with the spirit of a dead young boy named David who died in a horrific accident years ago. But at times she gets to become overwelmed by it's power that she accidently summons the spirit of a deceased serial killer as it hunts and murders her friends.
Exciting 80's mix of supernatural ghost story and slasher genre all rolled into one movie from writer-director Kevin S. Tenney ("Night of the Demons") is a real hoot. It was a minor box-office hit in 1986 and launched the career of cult director Tenney as one of the most beloved directors of the genre as it offers some scares, gory violence and of course an interesting concept about the dangers of Oujia boards and it's addictive powers it can succumb at people including some hot nudity by hot girls.
The DVD has a beautiful transfer and some nice sound with fine extras like audio commentary, a featurette, TV Spot and Trailer.
Movie Review: Very cheesy..but cheese is good!
Summary: 4 Stars
Looking through my DVD collection, i have to say that Anchor Bay titles make up 50% of it and they did it again with this cult classic!For people that didn't see the movie, it of course revolves around a ouija board (duh!) and people start getting pocessed by it and well it's pretty much predictable after that. The movie is not the scariest movie i've seen but it has it's moments, the acting is pretty decent and the story although again very predictable, still is entertaining.
FUNNY STORY...
I remember when i was young, my brother after watching this movie went out and bought a Ouija board from Toys r us and it freaked me out so much that i burned it in the backyard, and while it was burning, i went to do something else, then came back and saw my parents trying to stop the fire that spread to the cabin! Now, i knew it was not a demonic presence that made this happen but i still remember being punished, grounded and no tv or nintendo for a month..should of blamed it on the devil!
WHATEVER, JUST ENJOY THE MOVIE!!
