Hocus Pocus

3 stars

01 Nov 2018

Today we watched hocus pocus. This film is about 3 witches called the Sanderson sisters, who love to kill children for the spirits to stay alive. These witches came back alive after 100 years by this young lad called Max who lit the black flame candle to bring the back. Max his little sister Dani and Max crush Allison went in the Sanderson sister house which started everything off. The witches wanted Dani to have so they can stay alive after sun rise. But the witches didn’t make it as the sun was rising and they went back to the dead.

This was my first time watching this film, I have never heard it before. I don’t actually like watching films as it’s not my thing but this one I did enjoy it. At first when I saw we was watching it I was like boring I didn’t want to watch it. But my opinion did change at the end of the film however it did pick up in the middle when the witches wanted their book back when Max, Dani and Allison stole it. The feature was good as the witches costume standing out. Max was the character I really liked as he never gave up on helping this little sister and obviously killing the witches for good.

I rate this film 3 in half starts out of 5 as on the DVD cover it didn’t look like I was going to enjoy it because the cover didn’t stand out to me but then the film started it did stand out.
