What happens

Witchboard is a 2024 supernatural horror film written and directed by Chuck Russell. A remake of the 1986 film, it stars Madison Iseman, Aaron Dominguez, Melanie Jarnson, Charlie Tahan, Antonia Desplat, and Jamie Campbell Bower. Its plot follows a young couple opening a restaurant in New Orleans who come in contact with a spirit board created in 17th-century France by a powerful witch who was ousted from her village in the Lorraine province. Development of Witchboard began in 2017, when Russell became attached to the project as director and writer, adapting the screenplay from Kevin Tenney's original film. Russell co-wrote the screenplay with Greg McKay, and based its period elements on actual historical events that occurred during the witch trials in France. An independent co-production between the United States and Canada, Witchboard was shot on location in Montreal, Quebec and New Orleans, Louisiana in mid-2023. Witchboard had its world premiere at the 28th Fantasia International Film Festival on July 26, 2024, and was released in the United States on August 15, 2025. It received mixed reviews from critics, with some favorably describing it as stylistically reminiscent of the horror films of the 1980s and 1990s. It has grossed $500,798 at the box office.
