It's a night full of zany fun and comic chaos once the tricky 300-year-old trio sets out to cast a spell on the town and reclaim their youth -- but first they must get their act together and outwit three kids and a talking cat! Loaded with bewitching laughs, HOCUS POCUS is an outrageously wild comedy that's sure to entertain everyone!

Critics Consensus: Harmlessly hokey yet never much more than mediocre, Hocus Pocus is a muddled family-friendly effort that fails to live up to the talents of its impressive cast.

Reviews

Guardian

Peter Bradshaw

It is an enjoyable watch and a decent bit of entertainment, although maybe it functions better as a small-screen discovery for its devoted fanbase.

Hocus Pocus walks a fine line, where we get to enjoy witchy glee but also feel real emotions about their victims.

The main premise opens the door to all manner of dark magic and supernatural shenanigans, yet few of them leave any impression at all.

This sloppily written, egregiously unfunny Halloween comedy about three Stooges-esque witches somehow became a beloved holiday tradition.

Wonderfully Weird and Horrifying

Kristy Strouse

As a freeze frame of early 90s seasonal viewing, there's the kid inside that is reminded of the joy of Halloween, and of spooky legends. And it holds a fondness for its kooky, campy vibe.
