This big, fat theatrical bomb has a lot going for it. There's the three leads, Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, and Sarah Jessica Parker, playing three resurrected witches who wreak havoc on Salem, Massachusetts, 300 hundred years after they were hung. There's music, special effects, and magic. There's a surprisingly horror-filled plot. Whoops, hold up on that last one. It's probably the extremes that this film goes to (displaying a Disney label), such as the witches sucking the life out of a little girl in the first five minutes, that put the brakes on any success for Hocus Pocus. Older children, however, in the 8 and up range should get a kick out of all the weird goings-on. It's a good measure of Halloween thrills and chills. --Keith Simanton

Description

You're in for a devil of a time when three outlandishly wild witches -- Bette Midler (BEACHES, BIG BUSINESS), Sarah Jessica Parker (HONEYMOON IN VEGAS), and Kathy Najimy (SISTER ACT) -- return from 17th-century Salem after they're accidentally conjured up by some unsuspecting pranksters! It's a night full of zany fun and comic chaos once the tricky 300-year-old trio sets out to cast a spell on the town and reclaim their youth -- but first they must get their act together and outwit three kids and a talking cat! Loaded with bewitching laughs, HOCUS POCUS is an outrageously wild comedy that's sure to entertain everyone!

Not just for kids!.......2007-05-02

This movie brings back so many memories of my childhood.

I remember when I was younger and it was around Halloween, I would watch this with my sisters and NOTHING would get me more excited for trick-or-treating than watching this movie. I also remember that my sisters and my cousins and I would make movies and we made a movie about Hocus Pocus. All of us would sing the songs and pretend that we were the witches. And even watching this 10 or more years later, I notice things that I didn't when I was younger and I still absolutely love this movie.

This movie starts out with a boy, Thackery, and his sister, Emily, getting lured by witches. The witches literally suck the lives of children to stay young. The witches suck the life out of Emily but they turn Thackery into a cat. The townspeople find out what the witches did and hang them but the witches tell them that they will return. Hundreds of years later, they do return when a boy named Max and his sister, Dani, and Max's crush, Allison, light a candle that causes them to come back to life. The kids meet Thackery, the talking cat, who tell them that the witches have returned to suck the lives out of children. The rest of the movie has the kids fighting to get rid of the witches and successfully return Thackery to his sister.

This movie needs to be in every household. No matter what age you are, everyone can appreciate a good movie. And THIS is a good movie.

This film is great. It is one of the best disneys going and it is suitable for children and adults alike. The film is packed full of hilarious moments and great songs.WATCH IT.

It is about three witches who have risen from the grave because a young virgin lit the mysterious black flame candle. It shows how the witches come back for one night only and how the only way they can stay is by absorbing the souls of children.

This hilarious comedy is well worth watching

great movie.......2007-01-15

SPELLBOUND..........2006-04-16

Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker,and Kathy Najimy play witches called the Sanderson sisters, They give three, very funny, over the top performances in this over looked comedy.

Three centuries ago in colonial America, the Sanderson sisters practiced witchcraft, much to the consternation of their neighbors who apparently gave them wide berth. Unfortunately, growing old and haggard, they needed to rejuvenate themselves by inhaling the life force of a child. So, they lured a neighboring child, into their cottage. Her brother tried to save her from her fate, but was unable to do so before he was discovered and turned into a black cat for all eternity.

The three witches breathed in Emily's life force, with dire consequences for Emily, but the witches themselves turned more youthful thanks to Emily's life force. The townsfolk convene upon the cottage and capture the witches, whom they arrange to hang, but not before the witches cast a spell that is to have future ramifications.

Cut to present day America. It is Halloween. Two teens and one of the teen's little sister break into the witches' cottage, which is still standing as a sort of historical museum. One of the teens does something which brings the witches back, and all hell breaks loose. Just sit back and let the laughs begin. What happens is quite funny, as the witches are hilarious. This is entertainment, pure and simple. What you see, is what you get.

And now you're mine

300 yeas ago The Sanderson sisters (witches) were hung for nefarious acts. They can only come back to life if a virgin lights a black flame candle on All Hollows Eve.

Enter teenage Max fresh from California and he is a "you know what."
Yep he lights the candle as a prank. And...
