Lethargically directed by Kevin S. Tenney, who also wrote the screenplay, "Witchboard" proves you don't need to drink decaffeinated coffee to sleep like a baby -- from frame one on.

“Witchboard” is an uneven horror classic that has a strong narrative, but the execution needed improvement.

It has some interesting ideas but this is a dull, flatly-directed and brightly-lit slog of a "horror" film.

This 80s possession "thriller" is equal parts dumb and silly, but its (unintentional?) fascination with the gay relationship between Brandon and Jim elevates it. Plus Tawny Kitaen's luscious hair in a number of hats!
