Hocus Pocus 2
29 years since the Black Flame Candle was last lit, the 17th-century Sanderson sisters are resurrected, and they are looking for revenge. Now it's up to three high school students to stop the ravenous witches from wreaking a new kind of havoc on Salem before dawn on All Hallow's Eve.
Critics Sentiment
The Black Flame Candle resurrects the three Sanderson sisters
The sisters enchant citizens at the town Halloween carnival
The film flags significantly during the middle carnival sequence after the initial excitement of the sisters' return
Hocus Pocus 2 starts strong with beloved backstory and the triumphant return of the original actresses, but struggles through a sagging middle section before recovering with an emotionally satisfying finale. Critics praised the nostalgic elements and touching ending while criticizing pacing issues and lower stakes compared to the original. The film succeeds as fan service but falls short of recapturing the complete magic of its predecessor.
