When I found this on VHS recently I wasn't expecting much, after all the cover made it look like any other 80's horror flick. However it really surprised me with its interesting storyline and creepy atmosphere. It has a certain 80's charm about it but isn't too cheesy either.
There's a lot of things I liked about Witchboard, particularly the well shot death scenes. There's a slight feel of "The Entity" to it and some camera angles are similar to those used in The Evil Dead. The sub-plots are quite sweet and there's a few sad moments. The ending rounds things off nicely.
I would recommend this to all horror fans as it doesn't need the gore to make it interesting, something which isn't that common in the horror genre these days.
