Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

GL84 After having fun with an Ouija board during a party, a group of friends find themselves forced to deal with a girlfriends' growing attachment to a spirit summoned during the even who's sudden increase in violence threatens the whole group.While this wasn't altogether terrible, this one here is a moderate entry with enough good points to make it watchable. One of the biggest pluses here is there's some pretty good moments here-and-there which are quite exciting and enjoyable at managing to make the most out of the plot here with the simple fact that this one has a slight change of pace over most other Quija board-sprung films in that the demonic spirit being raised isn't in human form but remains visible throughout the film. There isn't a manifestation until late in the film, and most of the time is just reserved for the film being much more discreet about showing of the demonic entity which is always around here. The opening séance scene is pretty nice, with the throwing of objects and breaking of furniture to keep it interesting, while there's also the different hauntings that occur with the group in the house which are pretty nice and get a couple freaky moments with the freaky banging noises and startlingly helpful passes. These go great with a later scene where the spirit attacks in a shower, and the searching scene in the graveyard adds some creepiness to the film. While there's some really nice gore scenes in here from the few kills, there is a couple of big flaws in here that do manage to strike this one down. One of the biggest detrimental mistakes is that too many of its scare scenes are staged during broad daylight. There are at least two scenes in this film that squander away so much potential because of this. The construction site accident is the first big indicator of something going on after their game and it really could've used the extra suspense those elements provide to a scene. The other big one is the dock scene near the climax, which is probably hurt the most since the whole thing has a demonic twist to it that only would've been highlighted more through the use of it taking place at night. There isn't a high body count either since The spirit only goes after a couple of outside individuals rather than going after the ones that are there to provide a kill count, as there's plenty in here that could've been bumped off to provide more kills here, and it only uses a couple of those to a rather negative impact. It really could've used a couple more to make this feel even bigger and scarier. The last big flaw is that there's way too much down-time in here, making it feel really dull at times. The haunting incidents really should've been closer together or at the very least shortened the film a tad so that it wouldn't feel like it takes forever to get to the next haunting as it spends so much time with her fiddling with the board that it takes forever to actually get anywhere. This wouldn't have been so had the ridiculous amount of false and jump-scares been trimmed out of here completely, as the reliance of building up to some potential scare or stalking scene only to have it turn out to be one of the friends standing there behind them being something that can get annoying as well. This one here doesn't have too many, but the film is lowered by these problems. Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and Brief Nudity.

MovieProductions ** out of (****)Growing up as a mere lil' fellar, I always had this cautious curiosity with the unknown. I always had this fascination with the paranormal and would be exposed to films such as "The Others", "The Ring", and so on. But one little gadget I had my heart set on was a Ouija board. I heard that absolutely nothing good had come out of it and I've heard some bone-chilling stories that would make the trickle of hairs on my neck stand up. When I recently found out a little 80's cult classic beauty named "Witchboard" surfaced the video shelves, my curiosity was intrigued, and with impeccable interest. Just glancing at the title "Witchboard", it's pretty sensible to assume it's about a woman who draws a connection to the Ouija board, which at first turns out safe and harmless, but as her obsession grows with the object, the board turns evil on her and evil spirits are released.Going by the concept, it sounds amusing enough and it is. One of the strongest suits about movies involving the paranormal is that they always find a way to keep things going. Whether shedding some light on the background history of them, a bump in the night, or a shadow in the day. It's always moving along, same with "Witchboard". It doesn't take long to get the ball rolling and when we're introduced to the little doohickey, all interest is piqued. The acting? Eh, not so much. The performers here aren't exactly the most likable and what they offer is next to nothing. It's almost as if the directors copied some good looking twenty or thirty-somethings and pasted them into the movie, and handed them their scripts. But granted, they aren't terrible. As the film progresses, so do the characters and you'd actually be surprised at the character's motivations or purposes they serve near the film's rising action. The direction? It's a bit on and off here. There are some moments where I thought it used the premise to its fullest potential and others I thought were a true waste of time. The pacing for the most part is right on the money. It feels like one cohesive picture, (possibly) save for the ending.Now the one million dollar question: is it scary? Unfortunately, no, but that doesn't mean it's not suspenseful. There are times where I sprung about a foot or two from my seat. And the tone is consistently suspenseful thanks to the score. But when I say there are some moments where it makes you jump, it's not because the director uses the jump-scare tactic (basically minimizing the volume for about 5 minutes and just making a U-turn with the camera and cranking up the speakers to haphazardly affecting your eardrums). It's because there are its moments that build up genuine suspense and creating a chilling atmosphere.But, my one gripe, that ending. Save for the last three or so minutes and I was contemplating on giving this movie a "6" instead of a mediocre rating, but that resolution just did it for me. They went in such a predictable and uninspiring route. It's almost like eating a nice sandwich, but then finding a hair in it when you're almost done.All in all, "Witchboard" makes for a decent watch. It has its moments and if there's one thing this movie accomplishes, its the setting and tone. However, the acting and the ending just kill "Witchboard". I bet you if I showed someone this movie, being a non-paranormal fan and replaced the ending, they might actually get into these types of movies. But now I see why people steer clear of them. It's just that typical Hollywood resolution.

thesar-2 I Love the 80s! You gotta love productions like Witchboard, if you like the 1980s. It is the ultimate 80s horror flick: bad hair (including punk multi-colors and mullets), microfiche, bad dialogue, smoking in a hospital (?!?), waterbeds, cheap thrills and open-shirted male shirts with hair flowing from masculine chests to the screen. It's actually a guilty pleasure of mine and hard to downgrade since I grew up on it.My sister was the one that loved this movie when I was young and like a lot of late-1980s flicks (i.e. A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master and Dirty Dancing) she got me hooked on this one. Now, watching it again, honestly the first time since the late 1980s, it's such an extreme flashback. I mean dialogue like "TTFN – ta ta for now" or "I got a bad feeling about this" should sum it up. Oh, and the foggy graveyard helps too.We have a bizarre love triangle between former best male friends and a female third who is soon-to-be engaged to one of the males at a party and an Ouija Board. They contact (for fun) a dead 10-year-old David…or did they bring about an evil spirit? Either way, ditzy red-headed Linda (Tawny Kitaen) continues to "play" with the board alone when she's not supposed to! Inadvertently, she concurs up this other "evil" spirit and people start dying left/right. Will the two males fighting for her attention solve the problem before she's fully possessed? It's hilarious. Really. If you watched this for the first time, outside of the 1980s, you might laugh your ass off. But, I'm glad this movie was made; this was an extreme homage to that period. It's kinda scary – not really, but if you believe in this hocus-pocus Ouija stuff. It's gory. And it has the most laugh-out-loud outrageous finale, as if they ran out of ideas and had to close it out. This is for die-hard fans, or just someone out for a good laugh.Side Note: I remember reading a wonderful "Ask Marilyn" (by Marilyn vos Savant) article that stated on how to prove the Ouija is a hoax, and I believe her. You get two people to control the Ouija Board, but blindfolded and have a third party watch them. Since they can't subconsciously control the pointer while in the dark, the results should be hilarious. Honestly, I have yet to try that, but I have met very few that believe in such nonsense. I'd love to prove the insanity this board has produced. At least it produced a fantastically fun 1980s horror movie.

lastliberal The suspense never stopped in this film. I sat the whole time on the edge of my seat wondering just what was going to happen next.Two guys, Jim (Todd Allen) and Brandon (Stephen Nichols) were lifelong friends. Did they have a falling out over Linda (Tawny Kitaen)? They seem to hate each other now, and you always had it in the back of your mind that this had something to do with what was going on.Was there really some evil spirit trying to get out, or was it simply evil in the form of jealousy and hate. The fact that a police detective (Burke Byrnes) was always hanging around added to the suspense.There isn't a lot of gore in the film; it was just eerie suspense that rose to a climax that was really great.As an added bonus we got to see a whole lot of Ms. Kitaen as she was attacked in the shower. Yum.
