Prodcut Description: [More Information ...] 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

Reviews:
Cutest Witch Movie EVER! I love this movie! I am 15 and still like it. I was babysitting at Halloween and let the kids watch it, and the little 7 year old loved it so much that she made her dad go out and buy it for her THAT NIGHT! It's perfect for kids! As for those bad reviews, forget them. No, this is not Pet Sematary (no I am not illiterate, King spells it that way on purpose, because it is spelled wrong when they first see the sign in the book), and it will not scare you, it's an old movie with goofy one liners and silly acting. But kids will totally enjoy it, especially if they like the Nightmare Before Christmas. And, as for teenage girls, it helps that the teenage guy is kind of hot. horcus porkus]]/ A kid is turned into a cat and then waits two hundred years for the witches to be brought back by a book by some kids on Halloween and the cat can talk and the witches make everyone dance and something, fire happens, also candy something, and they win and that entertainment Perhaps no academy award worthy performances, but you can't beat it for good old entertainment value Great family movie Hocus Pocus is a great family movie. It funny and not scary for children and least I don't think so. The casting is very good and just love that movie. We got it before Halloween and watched it as a family and had a good time watching it. Halloween Delight Great movie, I am not a real Bette Midler fan but I thought she did a great job in Hocus Pocus. Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy were right with her in all respects. I give it an A+ in acting all around. It was both spooky and funny at the same time. It will be an annual event at halloween to watch this movie. |
