User Comments:
The scariest things about this film are the awful haircuts and dreadful 80s fashions.

In Witchboard, Tawny Kitaen, sultry babe of many a Whitesnake video and star of the wonderfully daft Gwendoline, plays Linda Brewster, a young woman who slowly becomes possessed by an evil spirit after meddling with a Ouija board.
Written and directed by low budget B-movie maker Kevin S. Tenney, this film is poorly scripted, badly acted and generally pretty dull. Tenney very occasionally shows some flair with the camera, but with material as mediocre as this, there is very little that can be done to really impress.
Kitaen proves that there ain't much more to her than a pretty face (and huge hair!), and her co-stars try their best not to outshine her. Kathleen Wilhoite is particularly annoying (not funny as was obviously intended) as psychic medium Zarabeth, an extremely nasty example of 80s day-glo, new wave/punk chic (think very trashy Cindi Lauper wannabe) who fortunately meets a sticky end.
Things could've been made more bearable if there had at least been some effective gore, but the film scrimps on decent effects; oh well, at least Tawny does the decent thing and gets her kit off for a brief shower scene.
