Editorial Review:
This big, fat theatrical bomb has a lot going for it. There's the three leads, Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, and Sarah Jessica Parker, playing three resurrected witches who wreak havoc on Salem, Massachusetts, 300 hundred years after they were hung. There's music, special effects, and magic. There's a surprisingly horror-filled plot. Whoops, hold up on that last one. It's probably the extremes that this film goes to (displaying a Disney label), such as the witches sucking the life out of a little girl in the first five minutes, that put the brakes on any success for Hocus Pocus. Older children, however, in the 8 and up range should get a kick out of all the weird goings-on. It's a good measure of Halloween thrills and chills. --Keith Simanton
Hocus Pocus [Region 2] Reviews:
Great Halloween movie for the whole family 
2009-12-01 - Our family has thoroughly enjoyed this movie over & over again since it first came out in 1993. We played this dvd on our Samsung HDTV & used the PS3 as our player & we were surprised by the colors being so vibrant & the clarity considering its wasn't a blu ray. Would highly recommend this movie to anyone who likes a magical Halloween fantasy movie at anytime of the year.
Great 
2009-12-01 - Item came in the time it said it would take. Was very pleased at the condition of the product I got.
A Halloween Classic 
2009-11-27 - This is "old school" Halloween. Perfect to watch every year like any holiday classic. Bette is so fun. Buy this one!
afraid the movie won't play 
2009-11-23 - I'm going to order this on Amazon, because I'm sending my Netflix copy back to them since 30 minutes into the movie it's impossible to watch. It stops, puts out digital squares and finally covers itself in green digital colors. My only worry is that like reviewer Gerald Hopkins said his doesn't play that mine won't play either.
Netflix once told me the studios increase their security on the DVDs and they think thats what causes so many movies to become unwatchable. Cleaning them makes no difference. I've found almost all the new Disney movies I rent don't work.
I saw Hocus Pocus at the movies when it first was released and have also seen it on tv. I think its a very cute movie and I love Bette Midler in it.
Hocus Pocus 
2009-11-20 - Purchased this for a Halloween "Family" movie night for a group of volunteers and their families. This was such a funny movie and was perfect for Halloween. Can't believe Sarah Jessica Parker was in it! Not to scary for the young ones but us oldies enjoyed it also. Can't go wrong with Disney.
