Movie Review- Hocus Pocus 2

Perla Orea Sixtos, Staff Reporter|October 7, 2022

What happens when three teenage girls accidentally bring back the Sanderson Sisters to modern-day Salem? They have to figure out how to stop the child-hungry witches from wreaking havoc on the world. Hocus Pocus 2 came out on Disney+ last week as one of the most anticipated sequels this Fall. Starring all of the original actors from the 1993 cult classic film, this supernatural comedy is entertaining. Personally, I liked the movie. It was a great movie to watch with my younger family members, and I liked how the sisters chose their family over their powers in the end. As I mentioned,  I watched this movie with my sisters and my nieces and they enjoyed watching it as well. They did cry a little at the end, and so did I, but I’m an emotional person. Overall, it was a good movie, and I could watch it all again, and recommend it to others.

Running time: 1 hour, 43 minutes

Nellita Montijo, junior
What Do You Think About The New Hocus Pocus 2? “I personally thought it was really good, I see it the same, I like how at the end instead of the witch keeping the powers she would rather be with her sisters. I was able to relate to the last part because I would choose my sister over anything.”
Khloe Gutierrez, freshman
What Do You Think About The New Hocus Pocus 2? “I personally didn’t like it, I feel that they could’ve done so much better, I like the first one. and then the witches on the hoverboard was not fascinating.”
