I picked up this movie mainly because I am a fan of Ami Dolenz.As a lover of occult movies, I think it stands up on its own. I found the movie to be tense and suspensful.Ami's performance as the skeptical girl turned turned believer in danger is great.I've watched the movie a few times since I got it and I think it would be a great movie to watch late at night or on a dark stormy afternoon.Another reviewer complained that it was unrealistic, but I have heard far stranger real life scary experiences than this, so even though its fiction, I don't find it out there at all.
If you like occult or suspensful movies, pick this one up.

I love this movie!!! Although it meant to be frightening, it turns out to be funny. Paige's naiveté leads her to an Ouija board. It belongs to the previous owner of her apartment, who happens to be a dead tranny exotic dancer. The dead woman manipulates Paige, and eventually possesses her.
The guys are pretty, and I love how a painter is allowed to buy a new apartment! I love it!

The first one was a classic but this one is pretty good too. It's along the same lines as the first one about a woman being terrorized by a vengeful spirit who was contacted through a Ouija Board. It haunts the apartment and makes things go bump in the night. It becomes more and more vicious as it kills people by causing bizarre accidents. Then it begins to take over the woman's body by possessing it. Pretty scary stuff!

John Gatins plays the role of young Russell with a dignity and grace that would be difficult for other actors to muster. Witchboard is everything a horror flick should be; fast, intense, and above a work of art. See this film for John Gatins's spellbound performance. Enjoy!

It is a great movie but it is kind of cursed for me.

Second Buyer returns it back and swears that it should be DVD and tells me that I have to give him/her full refund since it is not his fault and the movie was listed as DVD.

It is VHS listing, it is VHS tape, it requires VHS player - if you don't know - it a previous century device that plays a magnetic tape in a black box if you still know what it is. Please pay attention when buying that this is a VHS tape and i don't think it exists on DVD yet. Do not expect HDTV quality from this tape, remember that you couldn't skip scenes and you have to rewind the tape after watching.

Enjoy!

When i heard they were making a sequal to Witchboard i was thrilled.Only to find out Tawny would not be in it.This film isnt as bad as some have said.Its actually funnier than scary.Bad acting,but good atmosphere.The atmosphere is spooky!!Witchboard 2 is like one of the corny 50s/60s horror flick its so bad its good.Skip the 3rd Witchboard,it has to be the worst movie i have seen.Some people know how to kill a good series.

THis is one of my all time favs of the genre horror

i do admit,there were a couple of problems with this film.it was a little corny BUT a little scary.good enough to buy still.It's not really that different than any other scary movie.average amount of scary parts and violence.

River Citiy Books rules it...timely, great selection of wonderful cinema on VHS not available on DVD...only a fool would have tossed his or her VCR mang...Bye from River City. Do it, just do it do it.

As usual I agree with the other reviewers. The original, however, is the better flick. Partly because of Tawney Kitaen and partly because the plot is more involved. Amy Dolenz does a pretty good job, she looks pretty cute too, but the original Witchboard seems to have much more substance. Personally I recommend both.

Laraine Newman looks pretty good too. What's up with her dog named "DO"? She's stuck in 1969. VW bus and all.
