  Review by 1313: Tony the Terror ★★★½ 8

  Since I just watched Witchtrap, I had to get this one in too. When I was a kid, I really enjoyed this series. I had all 3 movies on VHS and I watched them quite a bit. I haven’t seen them since then and while I don’t know if the sequels will hold up as well, I’m glad at least this one did.

  I guess this would be the original Ouija and it’s a lot more fun than that snoozefest that clearly ripped off this movie. It’s goofy and ridiculous, but it’s very entertaining. I love the camerawork whenever the ghost is getting ready to pull something on someone. The dudebro level gets a bit high with one bro pissed at…

  If the party mood goes down, just take out the good old ouija board and summon a dead little boy. So far, so normal xD 
  Although the movie is nothing special, it does have some twists that makes it worth watching.
  If that doesn't convince, there’s also a nice shower scene to mention.

  Review by belial_carboni ★★★½ 7

  80s supernatural shennanigans up in heyar! A bunch of goofy teenagers unleash an evil spirit after using an Ouija board (or "weeja" as they pronounce it). Soon each teenager is harassed and sometimes murdered by the evil presence. What can stop the weeja??

  This film is 80s galore. The hairdos, decor, fashion and overall style. So when there's a slow part theres still enough vibrant visuals to please the senses. Cheesy dialogue, quirky characters, dream sequences and the odd gory kill make this a fine entry in 80s horror. With that said the heavy dialogue scenes bogs this one down a bit and keeps it from being quite as wild as it could have been. The kills are fairly minimal…

  Review by Flynch ★★★

  Kevin Tenney, ein eigentlich sträflich vernachlässigter Genreregisseur (Night of the demons; 
  Witchtrap; Peacemaker) nimmt sich hier dem überaus beliebten Hexenbrett an und liefert genau das ab, was man sehen will: eine gelungene Genreproduktion.
  Den sich langsam aufbauenden Spannungsverlauf ohne unnötige Jump-scares, einen kleinen Blut/Goreanteil und eine tolle Kameraarbeit inklusive wohlklingendem Score bzw. Maintheme.
  Dass das Ganze einen gehörigen Soapanteil hat  macht bei dem gut agierenden Cast zu guter Letzt auch nichts aus, und die ein bißchen aufgesetzte Endkonfrontation mit dem Bösen ist auch eher als Zugeständnis den damaligen Publikumserwartungen anzusehen.
  Unterm Strich ist ein zurückhaltender, aber überaus respektabler Beitrag herausgekommen, der zwar heutzutage niemanden mehr den Schlaf rauben wird, aber dennoch eines richtig macht: der Film ist unterhaltsam.
  Für Fans von Brettspielen und der zauberhaften Tawny.

  Review by Raventomb ★★ 3

  Two feuding friends, Jim and Brandon, must put aside their differences when Linda, the woman they've been quarrelling over, gets touchy feely with a Ouija board and ends up befriending an unfriendly ghost.

  A horror drama about a love triangle, the first 40 minutes of Witchboard is dreary stuff. I was utterly Witchbored. Although, once the two friends hit the road and begin to investigate the origins of the evil spirit that’s terrorising Linda, it becomes a different movie and it was all the better for it, but before you get to that, nothing really happens apart from Linda finding out she’s pregnant.

  There is however, a cool scene near the end which follows Jim as he falls backwards out…

  Review by Taylor Heider ★★★½

  Film #24 of Shocktober17

  So sweet and goofy. After a man brings a ouija board to a party, his ex-girlfriend Linda begins communicating with a spirit she believes is David, a 10-year old boy. She's instantly drawn to David and finds it hard to stop speaking to him, even though her personality is rapidly changing. Murders n possession ensue. There's a kooky medium named Zarabeth who can't stop making bad puns in the name of "psychic humor". There's dude bros fighting over who truly deserves Linda's love. There's also slightly boring middle bits, but the movie has a great atmosphere and is FUN. I am a sucker for cheesy romantic 80s garbage so the ending of this made it impossible for me to not love this movie.

  Review by marcricov ★★★

  Moderately creepy but mostly disappointing, only because it fails to deliver on its unsettling premise and when it does, it’s often more silly than scary. But my god, the moments of unintentional comedy are to die for. That lead chick seriously needs to chill out and smoke a doobie or something - she's so on edge all the time, I love it, haha.

  Review by KevVanDam ★★★½ 2

  Nothing rekindles bromantic tension like trying to save a girlfriend from being possessed by an ax wielding spirit via Ouija board and nothing ends it quicker than a good ol' floating hatchet to the face. Haven't given this a full re-watch in a long, long time and since Tawny passed on I figured I'd give it a whirl.

  I'll take this over any Ouija movie any day of the week. It's full on 80's ridiculous charm and nonsense. It might have a slow spot or two but between Tawny not raising an eyebrow over her new Ouija friend, the melodramatic bromance team up and a Cyndi Lauper wannabe medium dropping psychic humor it's hard to go wrong. Add a couple of fun kills, Tawny going full ham at the goofy bonkers ending and you're good to go. Almost as good as Night of the Demons.

  I would've unloaded a gun at the Ouija board a lot earlier in the movie.
