Hocus Pocus Film Review

In the year 1693, sisters, Winifred, Mary and Sarah were executed for their unforgivable witchcraft. They captured and sucked the lives out of the children of Salem to make theme selves young and beautiful. Just before their execution Winifred made a curse - a curse that when a virgin lights the black flame candle on Halloween night, in their house, they shall return. 1993, 300 years later Max decides to light the black flame candle in order to scare his little sister Danny's and his wannabe girlfriend Alison. Now, the three witches are back ready for a night of fun, magic and horror in the now modern Salem. 

Hocus Pocus has shown that witches are not accepted in today's society because they are only believed to be myth and associated with evil acts and devil worship. This sort of behaviour is not understood and is not common practice within today’s society therefore the fact that is it seen as a Halloween joke to Max and he doesn’t believe that if he lights the black flame candle it’ll bring the witch sisters back to life, and when he does he is faced with the sudden realisation that witches are real. His sister Danny is more accepting of the supernatural because she is younger and is life cynical and more open to new ideas. Therefore this shows that the younger a person is the easier it is for them to accept witch craft and the supernatural but essentially witchcraft is not seen as a true thing in that society. This is shown when Max and Danny go to the party where their parents are and tell them they awoke the witches and they just get laughed at. Which emphasises the point that the younger the person the more accepting of witchcraft they are. They might fear it but they will accept that it is a real thing rather than just being cynical and laughing at the idea.
