Remember that first image we saw back in November from the new Witchboard movie? Well, we’ve got a major update for you! Chuck Russell, the horror legend behind classics like A Nightmare on Elm Street: Dream Warriors and The Blob, is back this year with a remake of Kevin S. Tenney’s same-titled 1986 supernatural chiller.
Hold onto your planchette! Today, the official brutal and blood-drenched Red Band trailer has been conjured, featuring severed hands, gruesome accidents, faces being peeled off, and some serious kink.
The upcoming Witchboard remake has officially received a fitting “R” rating for wait for it… “strong bloody violence, gore, language, drug content, some sexual content, and brief nudity.” Sounds like Russell isn’t holding back!
What’s the Story About?
“Emily, her fiancé Christian, and a group of their friends open an organic café, refurbishing an old carriage house in New Orleans’ French Quarter. But a darkness descends over Emily when she discovers an ancient pendulum board, once used to summon spirits.
Christian seeks help for Emily from occult expert Alexander Babtiste. However, Babtiste has secrets of his own, knowing the fateful bloodlines that bind them all to the Witchboard. A modern coven of White Witches, a masked ball at Babtiste’s mansion, and the legacy of Naga Soth, the Queen of Witches, are all part of a dangerous game that puts Emily’s very soul at risk.”
A Cast Ready to Converse with Spirits
The movie features a talented ensemble, including Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (“Only Murder in the Building”), and Charlie Tahan (“Ozark”). The remake also includes Jamie Campbell Bower (Stranger Things), so you know things are going to get intense!
