The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Both the movies aren't classics for sure. The first movie was an underrated creepy movie. The sequel is not bad either. Even with all the problems, it is as entertaining as the first. So I need to give them the same rating.Ami dolenz is beautiful and was one of the bright points of the movie. Unfortunately no nudity from her though. But there is enough of the sex appeal part. Obviously an explanation is given for her skimpy outfits towards the later part of the movie. It is a little hard to concentrate on the details of the movie when she wears those tiny shorts and tops. The men are also model type unlike the original where the guys were more regular looking. But they are adequate actors and there is not much cheesiness as we would expect.There are some over the top deaths and scenes which are maybe not in tone with the original. The Mitch character seems to be somewhat of a superhuman with his lucky escapes and all. I liked the red herrings dropped in the middle. The twists are predictable but even then they are interesting to watch.I don't think the atmosphere is built up as nicely as the first. But there are some interesting death scenes and the ending is better than the first.The ending is a nice touch. One thing I do like about these movies is the lack of a corny "this isn't over yet" kind of an ending which is now cliché.I am puzzled by the IMDb rating a little bit..7/10

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.

Pretty good little film here. Kevin S. Tenney is quite a decent writer and a better director. My favorites are the POV shots of the spirit traveling. We get the absolutely cute Ami Dolenz as a lead, and John Gattins who in my opinion gives the only other believable performance in this film. Yes, the story is frighteningly similar to Witchboard, but just different enough to stand on its own merits. Dolenz does not transform much here in the script as possessed individuals are wont to do. Yet, she gets the point across nonetheless. Gattins keeps you guessing if his character is one of the good guys or the villain here. Meanwhile, we get an interesting take on the landlady played by Laraine Newman. Here the spirit seems partially justified in her actions, which makes the plot all the better. This brings up a question: WHY doesn't this film get a DVD release with a commentary from Dolenz and Tenney? I would like to hear their take on this film. Again, I liked Witchboard 2 almost as much as I liked the original.

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).
