Editorial Review:

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

• Perfect for Halloween!
  If your one of those people who wants to watch a film on Halloween but dosn't want it to be too scary? This is a great film for the whole family. Even though it is quite an old film, the special effects aren't half bad and there are some parts of it where you'll be laughing your head off. I would recommend this film to anybody.

• Pure entertainment
  This is a great childrens movie and I have watched it every halloween that I can remember, I am 14 and am probably too old for this film, but the mere fact that i've watched it every year makes it tradition and it is good enough to still entertain me, and I even think that there are a few jokes that are too mature her for children to understand and that adults and teenagers might appreciate more.
  The movie starts in the year 1693 and a teenager boy called Zachary Binx goes to the witches house to... more info
