This is surely the best of the Witchboard trilogy. Ami Dolenz is a hotty and played a good role. John Gatins from "Leprechaun 3" starred in this movie. For his first movie he did a great job. I loved the story line and how the whole movie just blew me away. No it isn't the best ghost movie ever made but it is sure one of them. But overall the movie is great, if you see it rent it. Be sure not to miss the basement scene. I gave this movie over a 10. I say about a 13.
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!
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.
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.

- TriviaAmi Dolenz had a no-nudity clause in her contract. However, Republic Pictures' foreign sales department decided after she was cast that nudity was crucial for international sales and pressured director Kevin Tenney to talk Ami into waiving the clause. Thinking it unethical, Tenney refused and later stated in an interview that it may have been the reason Republic tried to keep him from returning for Witchboard III: The Possession (1995).
