Rish Outfield's reviews
Ami Dolenz again, folks. Looking hotter than ever, I'll add. And, like a previous work, Children of the Night, she shares the film with an original "Saturday Night Live" cast member, this time Larraine (whatever happened to her?) Newman. Tyranist wasn't as bothered by the idea of the Ouija Board during this one, and the film was a lot lighter--which helped. It was part murder mystery, part possession film. None of the "Witchboard" movies are great, but they all have good qualities. The dialogue in this one is alright, the characters somewhat interesting, and of course, I was oddly attracted to the female lead (should I seek counseling?). This is much less eerie than the first film, though you still get the useless dream sequences, and a cop character who changes his personality half-way through. As in the first film, all of the characters refer to the board as a "Wee-juh," not "Wee-gee." This was probably the most satisfying of the films, but it still wasn't that good.

The tyranist's thoughts
This entry in the Witchboard series sat much better with me than the first one. Where I found the first one distinctly not to my taste, this one was appealing and entertaining. It may have something to do with Ami Dolenz. It may be that Kevin Tenney learned his lesson. It may be that I was simply in a better mood. Whatever the cause, I liked this movie. There are a lot of similar elements here (to be expected), but the story takes a different and original tack. Ami plays a very likeable woman who is struggling with who she is just in time to encounter the spirit behind the witchboard. She is torn between two men (sort of), but they all just want to protect her. The truth is, I wouldn't mind protecting her a little myself.
While this isn't a sequel that surpasses its predecessor in the manner of Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers or Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II, I would recommend it heartily. Once you watch both you will probably agree.
