Your support makes all the difference.Sisters! Gather round, it’s time to watch the long-awaited Hocus Pocus 2.
The sequel to the original cult 1993 family film sees the return of the Sanderson Sisters, and the original actors of Kathy Najimy (Mary), Bette Milder (Winifred), and Sarah Jessica Parker (Sarah) reprised their roles for the occasion.
With a fresh new magical tale, the tricky trio of witches has been resurrected. Without giving too much away, the new story will follow two high-school students in their quest to stop the witches from wreaking havoc on Salem.
It’s fair to say the reviews are mixed, The Independent, for example, wrote that the original has been transformed into a “kitschy favourite”, but questions the film’s ability to be bewitching enough.
Critics aside, if you’re looking to enjoy some magical and maniacal fun, here’s everything you need to know about Hocus Pocus 2, including how you can watch it in the UK now.
