THE WITCH PART 1 THE SUBVERSION IMDB MOVIE

No, seriously, everybody in this movie is somebody’s ex-partner, sibling, or potential future partner. But the most important thing to know here is: everybody wants to either kidnap or ally with Cynthia, and they’re all somehow related to each other. There’s also a brother-sister pair of Shanghainese killers that are unleashed on Cynthia by a different shadowy organization. Still, it’s refreshing to see flirtation and even buddy comedy chemistry as the foundation for many of this movie’s criss-crossing relationships, including the better-developed of the two pairs of mercenaries that chase after Cynthia, the whiskey-and-swears tomboy Jo-hyeon (Seo Eun-soo) and her South African beardo partner ( Justin John Harvey). It’s mostly only potential since “Part 2” feels like an overly elaborate bridge between “Part 1” and an inevitable “Part 3.” Even Cynthia, a clone who was originally named ADP (Ark 1 Datum Point), finds a little potential for romance after she escapes the Ark lab facility and stumbles into Kyung-hee ( Park Eun-bin) and her oafish brother Dae-gil (Sung Yoo-bin). There’s a lot of welcome teenage and teenage-friendly melodrama here and it’s not always what you might expect. The Other One” satisfying is that it’s a sequel and therefore part of a prefabricated narrative and genre. The Other One” may be lumpier and more unfocused than its predecessor, but it doesn't rehash what came before it.Ī good part of what makes “The Witch: Part 2. I mean, yes, there are several female leads, but more importantly, those characters get to do more than just act out the usual pseudo-empowering revanchist fantasies that pass for bubblegum feminism. That’s all part of these genre hybrids’ appeal: like some of the better American superhero movies and TV shows, “The Witch: Part 1” and its sequel feel like they’re actually trying to appeal to a target audience of teenage boys and girls.

There’s a lot of bloodshed in both movies, some rubbery-looking computer graphics mayhem, and a surplus of swearing.
