In New Orleans, Emily (Madison Iseman) and her fiancé Christian (Aaron Dominguez) are opening their new dream café. But their dreams are dashed when Emily finds an ancient, cursed Witchboard, an ancient artifact that once served as a gateway to the spirit world. As Emily becomes increasingly captivated by the board's ability to summon spirits, Christian seeks the expertise of Alexander Babtiste (Jamie Campbell Bower), an enigmatic occult scholar. As Emily's grip on reality weakens, Babtiste's true intentions come to light--to use the Witchboard's dark power for his own twisted purposes. Culminating in a decadent masked ball at Babtiste's mansion, the line between temptation and terror blurs as Emily and Christian find themselves trapped in a deadly web of witchcraft and dark desires. Emily and Christian must race against time to break the board's curse before they succumb to its deadly power!

Critics Consensus

A re-imagining that's as frantic as it is uneven, Witchboard conjures up an old-school horror romp with gonzo special effects, campy performances, and witchy atmosphere.

3/5

Tacky as all this is, the fact that the flashbacks are in French adds a slight tang of authenticity.

For as shaky as its foundation may be, ‘Witchboard' offers just enough madcap madness to entertain.

3/4

The alluring but slithery presence of occult expert Alexander Babtiste (Jamie Campbell Bower, wickedly good) adds more spice to a guilty pleasure to savor.

"Witchboard" is the best kind of remake in that it doesn’t try to recreate the original, but uses what it needs to craft a new, sinister story that is adjacent to what came before.

2.5/5

Chuck Russell's updated remake of the 1986 original is a grisly but uneven witchcraft horror.

A lot — too much, really — and the film lurches around from set piece to set piece, never managing to get pulses racing
