Witchboard

In the heart of New Orleans, a city where jazz drifts through the humid night and history whispers from every wrought‑iron balcony, Emily and her fiancé Christian are on the cusp of turning a shared dream into reality. Their plans to open a cozy café — a haven for locals seeking comfort over coffee — are the anchor of their hopeful future, promising stability amid the city’s ever‑shifting energy.

Everything changes when Emily unearths a cursed Witchboard, an ancient relic once used as a portal to the spirit realm. The board’s unsettling allure beckons her curiosity, and the couple soon finds their everyday concerns tangled with a pull toward the unseen. The presence of the Witchboard infuses the story with a slow‑burning dread, letting the city’s mystique seep into their intimate world and hint at forces that linger beyond the ordinary.

The film balances the warm, lived‑in atmosphere of a burgeoning New Orleans café with an escalating sense of supernatural tension. Emily’s fascination and Christian’s grounded pragmatism create a dynamic that feels both tender and uneasy, drawing viewers into a mood that is as much about love and ambition as it is about the quiet fear of crossing into the unknown. The tone lingers between atmospheric charm and a subtle, creeping horror, inviting the audience to wonder just how far curiosity can stretch before the veil between worlds begins to fray.
