Hocus Pocus (1993)

 


Magic, Mischief, and Mayhem


In 1693 three witches--Winifred (Bette Midler), Mary (Kathy Najmy), and Sarah (Sarah Jessica Parker) are put to death but vow to return. 300 years later, a male virgin lights the black flame candle on Halloween night as proof the witches aren't real but he gets a surprise when the three witches appear. These witches sucks the souls out of children in order to remain young. 

A fun movie with a talking cat, magic, mischief and mayhem.  A couple of good songs - Bette Midler belts out 'I Put a Spell on You'. Zany mischief and lots of confusion on screen for some of the characters which produces a few good laughs from the audience.
 
 
This Walt Disney film has kids and teens in mind as usual - it's a family film. The is no gore, blood or profanity to be concerned about so parents can relax about allowing their kids to see this one. There is, however, witchcraft involved so if that is a concern then you have warning.

Overall, I enjoyed this film.

8/10
