 | | In case you’ve never heard of the ubiquitous parlor game, a Witchboard or Ouija board, is nothing more than a flat piece of cardboard, sized to fit comfortably on the lap, displaying the letters of the alphabet, the numbers 0-9, and the words yes, no, hello, and goodbye. |
 | | The apparently simple pastime is, however, overshadowed by a widespread belief in the Ouija’s supernatural powers, specifically, that the board serves as a portal allowing the living to commune with the spirits of the dead. |
 | | Despite its shortcomings, however, Witchboard is, in the end, worthwhile horror, a competent entry that successfully blends the less urbane features of the genre with genuinely creepy moments of terror; in short, it is a film that deserves a look by both indiscriminate viewers and genre purists alike. |
