7/10
Witchboard 2 runs the gamut of emotions

Warning: Spoilers
Pretty good little film here. Kevin S. Tenney is quite a decent writer and a better director. My favorites are the POV shots of the spirit traveling. We get the absolutely cute Ami Dolenz as a lead, and John Gattins who in my opinion gives the only other believable performance in this film. Yes, the story is frighteningly similar to Witchboard, but just different enough to stand on its own merits. Dolenz does not transform much here in the script as possessed individuals are wont to do. Yet, she gets the point across nonetheless. Gattins keeps you guessing if his character is one of the good guys or the villain here. Meanwhile, we get an interesting take on the landlady played by Laraine Newman. Here the spirit seems partially justified in her actions, which makes the plot all the better. This brings up a question: WHY doesn't this film get a DVD release with a commentary from Dolenz and Tenney? I would like to hear their take on this film. Again, I liked Witchboard 2 almost as much as I liked the original.
