“Hocus Pocus 2” (*1/2 out of four) was a stultifying sequel to the even-worse 1993 original about the Sanderson sisters (Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy) who are resurrected once again in modern-day Salem on Halloween and it’s up to three high-schoolers (Whitney Peak, Lilia Buckingham, Belissa Escopedo) to put a stop to their bewitchery. Midler, Parker, and Najimy seem to be having fun together once again but film is an unlucky brew from start to finish. Fans of the original (I was NOT) may like this better but let’s hope it’s another 30 years at least before another one is unleashed.
