I didn't care much for Kevin S. Tenney's Witchboard: the script was weak, the acting was lousy (Tawny Kitaen, who played the central character, was more wooden than the Ouija board itself!), and the effects were cheap. However, this sequel, also by Tenney, is thankfully a lot better.

Sure, the plot isn't that original (essentially being little more than a retread of the first film), but Tenney seems to have polished his skills as a director a little, and has been wise enough to get himself a cast who can actually act.

This time around, it's a pretty young artist named Paige (Ami Dolenz) who discovers that meddling with the occult is not a good idea; she finds a Ouija board in the new loft apartment that she is renting, and, pretty soon, people are dying in mysterious circumstances, and she's becoming a foul mouthed sex-bomb (well, maybe not all the effects of a Ouija board are bad). Is the spirit she has been contacting attempting to possess her body, or just trying to bring to justice those responsible for her death?

Occasionally events get a little too silly (the scene where a man is pursued by a whirling saw blade is awful), but, on the whole, this is a step in the right direction for the series. Dolenz is easy on the eye (and her hair isn't quite as 'big' as Kitaen's), there are some reasonable jump scares, and Tenney throws in some quite impressive camera-work (a couple of moments might even give Dario Argento a run for his money, with the camera swooping down through a building window into the loft apartment, and, even better, passing through a moving car).

Witchboard 2: The Devils Doorway (1993) is a movie I recently watched on YouTube. The storyline follows a young woman who moves into a new apartment and starts receiving messages through a Ouija board from a former occupant of the apartment. It become clear that the ghost in the apartment wants revenge for something that happened to her while there. As people start dying around the rental building the young lady starts investigating the history of the apartment and ghost.

This movie is directed by Kevin Tenney (Night of the Demons) and stars Ami Dolenz (Pumpkinhead 2), Laraine Newman (Coneheads), John Gatins (Real Steel) and Julie Michaels (Road House).

While this is an early 90s movie it does have an 80s feel to it. The storyline, acting and dialogue is very uneven with some scenes feeling awkward, especially those involving the old boyfriend. Ami Dolenz in this was smoking hot. The horror elements were also uneven, though I will say the scene on the poster was perfectly executed and a well done jump scare. The end was predictable and fairly cliche.

Overall this is a very average addition to the genre that's just okay but worth a viewing. I would score this a 5/10 and recommend seeing it once.

Witchboard 2

This movie has plenty of entertainment stuffed into it's 90 minute running time, but it isn't too scary. Witchboard 2 is about Paige, who moves into an artist loft apartment after leaving her boyfriend. While moving in, she finds a Oujia board inside a closet, and just for fun, begins to play around with it. But you can't play with a Witchboard as Paige soon learns, when she contacts the spirit who claims to be a former tennant of the apartment complex who was murdered. Then, people in the complex begin dying in weird ways, and Paige must uncover the spirit's true identity before it destroys her.

The actors here aren't too bad, and Laraine Newman is hilarious as the eccentric landlord. This film has some 'jump' sequences that jolt you, but no real horror to scare you with. The movie also has a good mystery to it. Good for horror fans, and not cheesy at all. Don't expect a super-cheapy movie, it isn't that bad. 8/10.

The un-needed sequel to the 1986 horror film, "Witchboard", is about Paige (Ami Dolenz), a young woman who has just recently broken up with her boyfriend and moves into an artist loft apartment to try and take a break from things. While moving in, she discovers a Ouija board in the closet and for fun begins to play with it, and she ends up contacting the spirit of a former tennant who was murdered there. Then people within the apartment complex begin to die in strange ways while Paige tries to uncover the spirit's real identity.

"Witchboard 2" pretty much models the original, but with a few more scares here and there. A sequel really wasn't needed, it's basically a rehash of the original film. Although, I found the hippie landlord (played by Laraine Newman) hilarious. It was pretty mediocre. I'll give it half and half. 5/10.

Much like the original, this is a reasonably entertaining film, but still nothing to brag about. I'd say that this was a little silly, even by horror film standards, but unlike most horror movies, I wasn't ever bored while watching this. However, like all other horror films that I have seen, this movie isn't scary, and the story isn't nearly interesting enough or funny enough to overlook this problem. This film was a decent time killer, but if you're looking for a good movie, try something else.

Yes, I'm only giving this a 4/10 but I still enjoyed watching this movie, and if crappy horror movies are your thing, then you'll have to watch this too.

Anyway, there really, really, really needed to be more boobs in this movie - there wasn't any! The main character girl appears kinda sexy in some scenes, but that's it. She wears the exact same clothes during a large portion of the movie too, its weird, it clearly was a few days in the film and she still is wearing the same clothes, idk wtf up wit dat.

Also, it would have been better with a lot more gore, there really isn't any until the end. And her voice gets really annoying. The worst part by far is the guy who played Russell, wow he sucks! His acting is by far the scariest thing in this movie.

I'm not perving out here, but Amy is so pretty and easy to watch all movie long. I just watched this movie and didn't know who she was. She wasn't the best actress in the world but it was fun watching her read her lines and aspire to be an actress! Her face is so symmetrical. The most beautiful nose! Perfect lips. Beautiful hair. A gorgeous body and she never posed nude! That's so awesome of her! I've never gone to a comic con, but if she was there I'd definitely go to see her because she aged magnificently! Wow! Oh well.... Back to the movie. It was good. Nothing spectacular but fun. You won't loose any sleep over it from Nightmares that's for sure.

This movie is wonderful, I saw it when it first came out on video, and I was 10 years old. My grandmother just could not understand why I liked horror movies, especially how young I was, but that is just with my genre.I love all sorts of horror movies, and this one is rated on my top list! I agree with the first person who wrote comments. But if I could I would score it much higher than a 13! I would give it a 20, but I love that kind of movie, I suppose that it all just depends on your taste. I have seen all of the witchboard movies, and anything and everything about the Craft and Ouija boards, and trust me, this movie is tons of fun! Enjoy!

Paige Benedict is a wannabe artist who moves into a large apartment loft and discovers an Ouija board in the closet. After trying it out she starts receiving messages from the other-side by the previous tenant Susan Sidney. Who claims that she was murdered. Paige suddenly gets caught up into finding out what happened to Susan, but along the way people start dying off by strange occurrences.

Well I've never seen the original, but there's no relationship between the two films that makes you have to seen them in any particular order. I was expecting something quite secondary, but Kevin Tenney's 'Witchboard 2: The Devil's Doorway' was a mostly fun and harmless little piece, which was competently directed with some nice inventive flourishes. While, it's not hard to figure out what's eventually going to happen (though the final twist got me) and the pacing can lumber along with long talky spells, but there are definite features that make up for these aspects. Tenney makes the most out of his budget to cook up some strikingly atmospheric camera-work, tautly effective music score, credible special effects and a humdrum script filled with some biting humour. There are some well staged action scenes that have energy and the edgy deaths are mildly inspired. Although they are rather tame. False jump scares are evident, but never fall into the cheap variety. It tries to be creepy in its set-up, but I found it to be too silly to be so. Laughable in patches, but it never gets overly cheesy. Although there are some totally unlikely (if moronic) plot developments in the script that will raise eyebrows. One thing that got on my nerves was the constant use of sounding out every single letter and letting us know what it spells when Ouija board comes into play. Sure I can hack it every now and then, but all the time. No way! At least we had a blond hottie doing it for us. Tenney sure does tease the viewer with the gorgeously dainty Ami Dolenz. Her perky performance is surprisingly good. Those looking for a bit of flesh will be highly disappointed. Laraine Newman is amusing as the flip-out hippie landlady. The beautiful Julie Michaels was fine as Susan. Timothy Gibbs, John Gatins and Christopher Michael as bawdy landlord were okay.

It's a decent enough time-waster that has a certain quirkiness and stylish feel to it all.

This is one of those movies that you must see. Ok, it's not as good as the first one but it is still worth renting. In this movie Kevin S. Tenney shows us everything that happened in the first, but this time with some better acting and better death scenes. For actors you have Ami Dolenz (Ticks), and Timothy Gibbs (Leprechaun 3). I didn't care for anyone else, except for Laraine Newman who played the "I'm still stuck in 1969 lady". She's a good actor, and plays the role of a hippie pretty well. (To be honest a little to well). If you liked "Witchboard" then you will probably like this one. Stay away from the third one. Kevin S. Tenney didn't even write that one. For Witchboard 2: The Devil's Doorway ~ 7/10 stars.

After an argument with her boyfriend "Mitch" (Timothy Gibbs) concerning his controlling behavior, a young woman by the name of "Paige" (Amy Dolenz) breaks up with him and rents an apartment where she hopes to be able to pursue an art career in her spare time. It's during this time that she discovers a Ouija board which had been left behind by the previous tenant and, being somewhat curious, decides to give it a try. To her surprise, she actually summons a spirit by the name of "Susan" (Julie Michaels) who may--or may not--have her best interests at heart. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was an okay 90's horror film which pretty much followed the same overall plot as its 1986 predecessor. And much like its predecessor, it could have used a bit more intensity or suspense as well. That being said, while I certainly don't consider this to be a great example of the horror genre, I suppose it passed the time well enough, and I have rated it accordingly. Average.

Writer / director Kevin Tenney's belated sequel to his breakthrough film stars Ami Dolenz ("Ticks") as Paige, a young accountant and aspiring artist who finds an old ouija board inside her new apartment. She uses it to come into contact with the spirit of a former tenant, who's hungry for vengeance. She falls into the same trap as the Tawny Kitaen character in the first film, becoming addicted to using the board while also determined to solve the mystery of the spirits' death and the location of their body.

Tenney doesn't really bring anything new to the table here. His story is reasonably entertaining if never exactly scary. A large part of why it remains so watchable is the lovely Ms. Dolenz, who creates an inherently appealing character. (However, she doesn't always have the greatest material, having to state the painfully obvious more than once.) Some of the camera moves are more impressive than one might expect. The very few murder set pieces come off as so goofy that they're at odds with most of the film, which is played pretty straight. Supplying some comedy relief is the ever reliable Laraine Newman, who's very funny as the hippie-ish landlord.

Don't go in hoping for a lot of gore, or much of a body count. Instead, we get a story that's rather similar to what we saw the first time. One difference is the restless ghost; Julie Michaels is undeniably extremely sexy in the role but she's nowhere near as creepy as J.P. Luebsen. Filling out the rest of the cast are Timothy Gibbs ("The Kindred") as the initially unlikable ex-boyfriend, future Oscar-nominated screenwriter John Gatins ("Flight") as young photographer Russel, a delightful Marvin Kaplan ("Wild at Heart") as an old occult specialist, and Christopher Michael Moore as a horny handyman. "Witchboard" 1 star Todd Allen has a cameo near the end.

There is one highlight involving a runaway car, and overall the films yields some modest entertainment.

Six out of 10.

Totally awful remake of the first "Witchboard". Pointless in every way (unless you have a thing for the beautiful Dolenz). Avoid avoid avoid.

This is does not have mush to do with the first witch board movie. But still it is very scary. Scarier then the first Witch board movie. 5 is underrating it. This is a 9. See it. It is very scary.

This is a tough film to review or to even talk about really. It's mediocre in most respects, and really nothing much of note happens for good chunks of it. And yet, there's something about it that's appealing and fun. It's probably the touch of directory Kevin S. Tenney. It's clear he's a bit disinterested here but still can't help making a film that's light and funny and playful.

The camera-work announces this, swooping in and out of windows at will. Ami Dolenz is appealing as usual, her great horror year of 93 (see also: Ticks and Pumpkinhead 2) a classic lesson of how sub-par acting in low- budget films can still be remembered and even "good" in some sense if done with the right intentions.

Maybe the best character to sum up this film is that of the ex-boyfriend cop whose first entrance into the film announces him as an angry douchebag type, meant to cause problems for Ami. But by his second scene he already shows remorse, and even apologizes to Ami. After this, while still retaining his douchebaggery, he helps and even saves her in the end. I don't want to use the word complex, but if he's comprised of notes it's at least three, which is two more than necessary in a flick like this and most of its ilk.

Also there's a scene where a 60's hippie chick is hit by a wrecking ball into the mystery machine and you get a nice shot of the van exploding and her mannequin with it, which is pretty cool.

I really wanted to like this. I am a fan of horror/supernatural films that range from the 50's up through the late 80's to early 90's. I have seen a lot of them and they all have their own hang-ups considering they are so aged compared to 2014. The problem with this movie isn't so much the movie itself as the choice for the lead actress. Sure, Amy Dolenz is very beautiful, but that voice and her acting is just pure hell. I wanted to contact a demon on my board just to shut her up. I would rather have Mickey Dolenz as the lead actress than Amy. The movie itself was what you would expect from the era and the genre, decent B quality stuff that keeps you entertained and you can poke fun at it because of the time. Give it a shot if you really must, but watch some other stuff first.
