Whilst this isn't really a patch on the first outing for the "Sanderson" sisters, it's still quite a decent sequel that manages to reassemble Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy for some evil witchery. This time around it is 16th birthday girl "Becca" (Whitney Peak) and her best frie ... nd "Izzy" (Belinda Escobedo) who inadvertently disturb the witches using a magic candle. Needless to say, our tricky trio are ravenous for children to eat and are seeking a little bit of revenge too! It takes a bit too long for the the Divine Miss M and company to take to the screen, before that this is a rather muddled teenage affair, but once they are in full swing it is quite good fun with plenty of faux malevolence from "Winifred" and some mischief from her sisters once they discover that they, too, can zap folks. Ultimately, even the book of spells gets to choose it's own destiny - but whom will it follow? Star of the film is definitely "Billy Butcherson" - or his disembodied head, and a lively reversion of Blondie's "One Way or Another" gets the toes tapping away nicely too. This is an enjoyable family film that does what it sets out to do - entertain all in a gently, engaging and entirely forgettable fashion.
Hocus Wokus? They took one of the best family friendly Halloween movies and injected a heavy dose of far left 2022 politics and took out most of the humor. So, it pushes "THE MESSAGE" and doesn't little else except insult the fans and the original cast who would be problematic in today's pol ... itical world. They made the best movie they could... after checking off the political boxes and ignoring any story telling
