Witchboard (1986)

Witchboard...Kinda Dull
4 October 2005
If you're familiar with Kevin Tenney's work, you know what you're getting most of the time. Cheesy dialogue, questionable writing and James W. Quinn are mainstays in a Kevin Tenney movie. This movie is lackluster at best. It's between Witchtrap and Night of the Demons. It is much better than Pinnochio's Revenge.

This movie was mildly entertaining. The pace was slow with only a few deaths. The deaths were creative and carried out well. I, personally, would have liked to see more deaths. I also would have liked to have seen the bearded ax murder more. The cast of characters were OK, with the exception of Tawnie Kitaen and maybe James W. Quinn. Both aren't really actors. James W. Quinn is probably a friend of Kevin Tenney's, given the fact that he's in all of Tenney's films. Tawnie Kitaen just stinks.

This movie is a half step above the typical 80's horror movie. The plot chugs along with very little gore, horror, or meaningfulness. So overall the movie is rather dull, but worth watching if you've got that acquired taste in 80's horror movies. With this proper acquired taste, you may even think this movie is a classic.

Not me, though. 5 out of 10.
