Witchboard

At a party, a guest brings out a Ouija board, and they attempt to contact a spirit he knows. The spirit does appear, but it becomes apparent to the one who brought the Ouija board that this is an evil spirit that is impersonating his spirit, and despite warnings not to use the board alone, a woman uses it alone, and becomes harassed by the evil spirit, his goal to possess her so he can walk the earth again.

Despite its modest budget of $2.0M, Witchboard became a solid performer, earning $7.4M worldwide—a 268% return. The film's innovative storytelling resonated with audiences, proving that strong storytelling can transcend budget limitations.
