Review
Another classic from my past sacrificed to the great mouse
Why? Why? Why?
I wanted to like this, I tried desperately to find an ounce of the old magic. Alas, it was.gone.
A contrived, unimaginative senseless film that should've been more.
It wasn't bad, but I hoped for so much better. It felt dull and lacklustre. The music scenes seemed shoehorned in for the sake of it.
Oddly enough, there was some good bits and incidental comedy, hence the 4 stars. Sadly there wasn't enough.
In my opinion, the casting was ok. The script could've so much better though.
It reminded me of the ghost busters film reboot, it added nothing and took so much more away.
On the whole, it was ok.

During Disney’s Upfront presentation to advertisers, it was announced that the sequel to the popular Halloween film, “Hocus Pocus”, will be coming to Disney+ on September 30th 2022.
Singer/actress Bette Midler (“The First Wives Club,” “Beaches”) returns as Winifred Sanderson, with Sarah Jessica Parker (“Sex and the City”) and Kathy Najimy (“Sister Act”) back as her sisters, Sarah and Mary, respectively. In “Hocus Pocus 2,” three young women accidentally bring the Sanderson Sisters back to modern day Salem and must figure out how to stop the child-hungry witches from wreaking a new kind of havoc on the world.
“It’s been 29 years since someone lit the Black Flame Candle and resurrected the 17th-century sisters who were executed for practicing witchcraft, and they are looking for revenge. Now it is up to three high-school students to figure out how to stop the ravenous witches from wreaking a new kind of havoc on Salem before midnight on All Hallow’s Eve.”
The film also stars Whitney Peak, Lilia Buckingham, and Belissa Escobedo as the three teenagers who must stop the witches when they return to the land of the living for another night of Halloween frolic.
Doug Jones will also be returning as Billy Butcherson alongside with a number of new cast members, including Hannah Waddingham, Tony Hale, Sam Richardson, Juju Brener, Froy Gutierrez, Taylor Paige Henderson, and Nina Kitchen.
