Hocus Pocus 2 [Movie Review]


Hocus Pocus 2 [Movie Review] | I remembered watching the first one and loved it, thinking that I would find magic too sometimes in the future.

So, when the sequel drops, of course I have to watch it too.

The movie starts with the backstory of the Sanderson sisters in Salem, way back in 1653. When Winifred defies the instruction of the church to marry John Prickett, the sisters were banished by Reverend Traske. Rather than accepting the punishment, the trio runs to a nearby forbidden forest. There, they meets with Mother Witch who gifts Winifred her magic book with a warning that they are not to cast the Magicae Maxima spell - supposedly the spell will make the user all powerful. And they have to kill children to stay young. 

In modern days, Becca and Izzy prepare to celebrate both Halloween and Becca's 16th birthday. They turn down a party invitation from their ex friend, Cassie. 

The duo visits a magic shop (which was used to be the Sanderson's cottage) run by Gilbert who gives Becca a candle as her birthday present. The girls goes to a nearby forest and starts their birthday ritual by lighting the candle. Turns out the candle is a Black Flame Candle. As it is a full moon and the girls are virgins, the candle resurrects the Sanderson sisters.

Resurrected, the sisters want to kill the girls, but both girls tell the sisters that they are both worshipers. They bring the sisters to a local drug store and the sisters are amazed by the 'magic' they see in the store. The girls run from the sisters but finally captured by them. 

When the sisters learn that Cassie's father, who happens to be the Mayor of Salem is the descendant of Reverand Traske, the sisters decide that they will cast the Magicae Maxima spell to eliminate him and take revenge on Salem for what had happened to them. 

The girls are trapped in the basement and hunt down for the Mayor as the spell needs his blood to complete. Meanwhile, Gilbert is forced to collect other ingredients.

Can the girls stop the sisters from taking their revenge?

MY REVIEW

Plot: 4.6/ 5.0 Call me bias, but I kinda love the plot. The sisters return and want to make Salem pay for what it did to them but the modern world has different agenda in its mind.

Cast: 4.4/ 5.0 Beautifully delivered by all. If you've watched  the first one, it seems that the sisters are beautiful as ever.

Will I Watch It Again: Yes, I don't mind watching it again.

The pictures are taken from multiple sources on the Internet. Thank you.
