TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Scarecrow-88 "Get a grip, Paige, it's only a Ouija Board." From the director of Night of the Demons and the first Witchboard, is this '93 sequel featuring the gorgeous Ami Dolenz as an amateur artist, Paige, moving into an attractive loft so she can hopefully make a career out of painting while working unhappily at a business to pay the bills. When she dabbles with a Ouija board, found in a closet (it falls in a spot so she can visibly see it), the spirit of a former occupant wants her, Paige assumes, to find her body and the murderer responsible. The question: is there more to this than meets the eye? Could a desire to possess Paige be part of why she keeps motivating her to use the Ouija board? Other characters involved in the mystery regarding the spirit of Susan (Julie Michaels) include a photographer, Jonas (Christopher Michael Moore), the brother of apartment renter, Elaine (Laraine Newman, of Saturday Night Live fame), still living in the 60s (she has a hippy-painted van, dresses and speaks as if she were stuck in a timewarp). Mitch (the bo-hunk Timothy Gibbs) is Paige's former lover, a plain-clothes policeman with bitterness due to her leaving him for being too bossy and pushy. Tenney does use special effects as he did in the first Witchboard to convey Susan's abilities to affect her surroundings when Paige is using the Ouija board (a broken mirror, operating a crane which sends a wrecking ball crashing into a vehicle crushing a victim, and pressing down the accelerator pedal of a Ford Ranger that nearly kills Mitch in Tenney's French Connection sequence of the film). Also a Tenney trademark is the Evil Dead "bird's eye view" camera shot—in this movie's case, from the Point of View of Susan moving about in spirit form—still in effect here as has been used in times past (preferably Night of the Demons and Witchboard, arguably his two best films). Tenney tries to shoot the adorable Dolenz (boy, did I have a crush on her when I was a teenager!) in sexy, provocative ways, and does, at times, succeed. She does have a potty mouth once the Paige character becomes more reliant on the Ouija board, soon quite addicted to solving the mystery of her death, placing her own body in jeopardy of a total takeover. Most unintentional funny scenes (maybe they were intentionally funny, I don't know) have the first victim trying to evade a spinning saw blade in flight, chasing (!) after him and this very same victim succumbing to a boiler that actually balloons as if it become bloated, resulting in a steam kill! Dolenz is actually not a bad lead heroine, her smile is a knock-out and she exudes a pleasant enough personality, but I found Gibbs' cop a hard character to like (he tries, later after reflection, to be more understanding and seems committed to a better relationship with her, but his initial scene does not necessarily warm us to him; his aggressive nature and aura of hostility are especially noticeable), even though he factors heavily into Paige's rescue. One things for certain, Mitch is quite a punching bag thanks to Susan's supernatural powers. Newman does what she can with a caricature, actually still quite amusing during many of her scenes. Moore is the other man in Paige's life, and his character (much to the film's credit) can not be pinned down as completely innocent, although he's far more easy to like than Mitch.

Princess Aalayna This movie is wonderful, I saw it when it first came out on video, and I was 10 years old. My grandmother just could not understand why I liked horror movies, especially how young I was, but that is just with my genre.I love all sorts of horror movies, and this one is rated on my top list! I agree with the first person who wrote comments. But if I could I would score it much higher than a 13! I would give it a 20, but I love that kind of movie, I suppose that it all just depends on your taste. I have seen all of the witchboard movies, and anything and everything about the Craft and Ouija boards, and trust me, this movie is tons of fun! Enjoy!

Mr_Ectoplasma The un-needed sequel to the 1986 horror film, "Witchboard", is about Paige (Ami Dolenz), a young woman who has just recently broken up with her boyfriend and moves into an artist loft apartment to try and take a break from things. While moving in, she discovers a Ouija board in the closet and for fun begins to play with it, and she ends up contacting the spirit of a former tennant who was murdered there. Then people within the apartment complex begin to die in strange ways while Paige tries to uncover the spirit's real identity. "Witchboard 2" pretty much models the original, but with a few more scares here and there. A sequel really wasn't needed, it's basically a rehash of the original film. Although, I found the hippie landlord (played by Laraine Newman) hilarious. It was pretty mediocre. I'll give it half and half. 5/10.

NewSilver21-1 This is one of those movies that you must see. Ok, it's not as good as the first one but it is still worth renting. In this movie Kevin S. Tenney shows us everything that happened in the first, but this time with some better acting and better death scenes. For actors you have Ami Dolenz (Ticks), and Timothy Gibbs (Leprechaun 3). I didn't care for anyone else, except for Laraine Newman who played the "I'm still stuck in 1969 lady". She's a good actor, and plays the role of a hippie pretty well. (To be honest a little to well). If you liked "Witchboard" then you will probably like this one. Stay away from the third one. Kevin S. Tenney didn't even write that one. For Witchboard 2: The Devil's Doorway ~ 7/10 stars.
