Summary

Released in 1986, Witchboard is a horror, mystery and thriller film.

Only 89 of its IMDb reviewers are calibrated, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 90 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 177 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. 3,140 other films from the 1980s form the cohort it is ranked inside.
