Director Chuck Russell Makes Witchboards Scary Again Doc Rotten is joined by Paul Cardullo to review Chuck Russell's Witchboard (2025). Set in New Orleans, this remake of the 1986 classic from director Kevin S. Tenney, features Madison Iseman in the Tawny Kitaen role but named Emily for this version. A witchboard is found, a witchboard is used, and a witchboard kills a bunch of people. Leave witchboards alone, people! Witchboard is out in theaters August 15, 2025. Is it worth a watch? How does it stack up against the original? How does Chuck Russell (A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, The Blob, The Mask) approach the material? Check out this review to find out what the Grue-Crew think.
