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!

Though it doesn’t reinvent the wheel, Russell’s Witchboard is a perfectly decent – if a little long – stab at the haunted item subgenre that should satisfy fans of the earlier franchise.

Rue Morgue Magazine

It prioritizes madness and commotion over artistry or coherence, and comes away successful in that quest. It is hard to ding a film that refuses to take itself too seriously.

Film School Rejects

Witchboard is an okay romp, a slightly better one if Chuck Russell makes some judicious cuts before its eventual release, but it can’t touch the original or even come close to the highs of his own 80s classics.

Bloody Disgusting

It's messy and uneven, scattered in both narrative and performance, but fun enough to lightly recommend.

Rated: 2.5/5

Dread Central

Chuck Russell’s ‘Witchboard’ is a welcome and genuine throwback to the practical-effects-driven horror movies of the late ’90s, like ‘Wishmaster’ and ‘The Relic,’ ‘Hellraiser: Bloodline.’

Rated: 4/5
