Review of Witchboard (1986) by Ricardo A — 07 Nov 2015

I remember this film freaking me out when I watched it back in the day and after I watched it I remember it was the dream sequence where Tawny Kitaen gets her head cut off with an axe that freaked me out.

However, watching this film now, it is an absolutely terrible film. The story revolves around a Kitaen, who you may remember from "The Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik Yak" or her appearances in several Whitesnake videos, becoming obsessed with a Ouija board (but called a Witchboard in the title since Ouija is a trademarked name by Hasbro) and then eventually becomes controlled by evil spirits.

The film is low budgets, horribly acted, not at all suspenseful and just dumb. There was one actor, who actually gives the only good performance, who I could not pace while re-watching this film and it was driving me crazy, but I eventually placed him as "Patch" from Days of Our Lives, which I keep up on since my wife is an avid watcher.

Don't bother revisiting this horror film except for ironic purposes.
