Moviegoers are saying
This Witchboard reimagining splits audiences between those charmed by Madison Iseman's scream queen performance and those frustrated by dated CGI and missed potential. While some viewers found themselves surprisingly entertained by the witchcraft-focused plot, many felt the film was held back by poor dialogue that 'sounds like it was written by beta AI' and visual effects that date it by years.

I liked the integration of the ouji board along the witch hunt story. The visuals were ok. It's a typical suspense storyline with the swap of the with hand the ordinary girl. Christian's ending is a bit ambiguous. It was an ok storyline with suspenseful visual effects.

In fits and spurts, it casts quite the campy, thrilling spell.

If you're a moviegoer who desires smart, original horror, skip Witchboard. You're better off just watching Sinners or Weapons again.
