Practical Magic

1998· PG-13· 1h 44m· Comedy· Fantasy· Romance

For two sisters from a family of witches, falling in love is the trickiest spell of all.

Practical Magic (1998) casts a spellbinding web around the Owens sisters, Sally and Gillian, whose lives are marred by the unexpected death of Gillian's abusive boyfriend, Jimmy Angelov. Forced into a reluctant embrace of their magical heritage, they perform a dangerous ritual to bring him back, inadvertently unleashing a malevolent force. As the specter of evil looms, and a suspicious policeman, Gary Hallet, investigates their oddball community, the sisters must unravel the dark threads of their family’s past to save themselves and their kin from a fate worse than death.
