Très bon Film

Un 10/10 pour la partie un . c’est un très bon film, si vous aimez bien les films d’actions je vous le conseille. Tout était parfait , les acteurs, les scènes d’action et de de combats rien à dire . Coups de cœur pour l’actrice principale Kim Da Mi ( elle joue tellement bien ) et Choi Woo Shik , meilleure duo. si vous aimez bien les deux acteurs je vous conseille de regarder ( our beloved Summer ) une pépite .
j’espère que la partie deux sera aussi intéressante comme dans la partie 1

Intense

I'm obsessed with psychological, serial killer, murder etc flicks so I welcomed this movie with open arms and wasn't disappointed! Keep in mind, this is only part 1 so don't be upset by the 'ending'. As always, the more graphic the better and if you want some brain matter, throat slits and snapped bones LOOK NO FURTHER! It's a little basic with the 'child test subject' theme but it's definitely worth the watch. I got hyped af and was ready to karate chop someone, so there's no denying the quick, swift, awesome action lol
Was kinda sad/disappointed with one part, but I won't spoil it.
Enjoy...

Occasionally kooky `~but thoroughly entertaining thriller

A good female-fronted actioner....

Its cramming so much into the narrative dat it stumbles over itself on more than one occasion; it very often forgets its own internal logic and drags the final showdown out to the breaking point. The sequence’s style, energy and Kim’s coiled glee save it from tipping into overkill. Falls into a “tell” instead of “show” trap for character and narrative momentum; If a second part is in the pipeline, as the title suggests, there was no need to rush key revelations.Pounding, atmospheric score stands out among impeccable tech specs across the board.


The deadly charisma of the key performers, notably Kim Da-mi as the teenage Ja-yoon, and Choi Woo Shik should be well appreciated !!!

Stranger Things, but darker, grittier, and bloodier.

Ko Ja Yoon is a fascinating main character, and she makes the film intriguing despite the world-building being sort of thin and the plot being generally predictable. I think the most impressive thing is that nobody in this film is stupid. When strangers are creepy and weird, characters — both side and main ones — recognize it and act accordingly. It was refreshing.

In fact, I'm pretty impressed with the more down-to-earth elements of this film actually; the dynamic between KJY and her family and friends were really interesting, and I want to give a special shout-out to Go Minsi, who really sold her role as the spunky best friend.

On the other hand, while Kim Dami and Choi Wooshik have fantastic chemistry together — the fight scene between them is one of the best moments in the film — I feel like I didn't feel fully convinced by the main scientist or the other "powered" people. Going back to the thin world-building, I think the environment of the government facility, the motivations of the people in charge, and the backstory of other experimented people were just not altogether there.

Overall, it's still a quick, engaging watch and I can see why it got so popular.

The Witch: Part 1: The subversion

Choi Woo Shik and Kim Dami first project together - good thing that they decided to work together again - they really did great job here. We even have Go Minsi here.
More important here - we have action, suspense, mystery, supernatural and great plot twist - what more to ask?
Warning - it is a little brutal.
If you love this then check second movie The witch part 2 the other one and the drama The tyrant.

For me personally, I like the story behind the drama. It certainly got some twist in there that I didn't catch on early in the movie. I really liked how the main actor Kim Da Mi portray her character as Ja-yoon. I would certain would rewatch this when I need to watch something action. I am certainly hope they would make part 2, since the title has part 1 in it.
I guess why I didn't rate it higher would be that there was alot of pausing and talking through out the fight scene. Scene keeps on switching and it took me awhile to get what was going on. I'm hoping that it because it's the first part hence all the explaining. And if there is a second part, there would be alot of more action scene. Kim Da Mi fighting in this movie was freaking bad ass. Love it!!

Good but where's part 2 :(

I gave it a 2 because it was too violent for me. I clicked the +10 seconds button a lot when it got too gory.
Also, I was bummed at the unfinished ending and wanted a part 2 immediately.
Sorry, I always make my ratings personal, lol.

Loved:
*loved the cast. the acting was perfection. Kim Da Mi is perfection
*loved the story's pacing; it was slow but never felt slow
*loved the dark filming aesthetic... randomly gave me BTS Mic Drop Aoki remix MV vibes? lol...
*loved her quiet relationship with her adopted parents and with the townspeople
*loved the subtle reveals at the end that actually did surprise me (when you find out what different characters actually knew)

Saddened:
*the story was too sad and violent
*so much blood... like, so so so much blood
*so much violence... cringe amount for me... i know, i know, it has a mature rating, i should have expected it... i only watched this movie because i saw a pretty fan edit on youtube, so it's my bad. but i'm being honest here, movies don't need to be that violent! let's just all chill out. let's stop making them so violent. plez.
*they killed Choi Woo Shik? I don't believe it. Don't kill his curly head. i don't think he's dead. i know he's probably dead, but i'm a sucker for redemptions. let's make him not dead and give all the character redemption arcs.
*the ending was cliffhanger? now i have to live on knowing she's still out there somewhere trying to find her peace? No! give her peace! give me peace! give all of them peace! it can be quiet and broken, but make it peaceful!
*ugh, this is what happens when i stray into the mature side of film making. sure, this was a masterpiece, but now i'm sad, so i gotta scurry back to the safety of my own favorite genres that have less violence and less heartbreak... until the second movie comes out. then i'll probably watch that one too, and skip all the violent scenes of that too, just so i can see if Goo Ja Yun gets a happy ending... what can I say, I just always like Kim Da Mi's characters and wish them well.

Waiting for part 2....Watch part 1 to know why....

This movie.....
If I loved it you'll love it too
It's on Netflix
If you haven't seen it then you have to watch it
If you like action, thriller , and super natural then this is the right movie to watch.You'll want more if you do.
My thoughts are simple.I love watching movies that have a background story attached to it.If that story follows the main character and turns into something like revenge that's even better.
The ending has a cliffhanger however the movie is worth watching.
This is one of my favorite movies to watch and i could rewatch it for years.You probably don't have a clue what I'm talking about so here's the first step.
Step 1(FINAL STEP): Watch the movie and you'll love it as much as I do and then you'll understand what I'm talking about.

Coś dla fanów "Stranger things"

Nie wierzę, że film bez właściwie jakiejś fabuły łapie "dziesiątki" za najprawdopodobniej ostatnie pół godziny akcji.
Totalnie.
Jak na dwugodzinny seans żółwim tempem poznajemy historyjkę małej dziewczynki, zbiega z laboratorium dla nazwijmy to mutantów. I nic poza tym się nie dzieje do momentu w którym zbierze się właśnie grupę takich odmieńców w starym traumatycznym miejscu z ludźmi którzy ich skrzywdzili tylko po to ażeby pooglądać sobie krwawą nawalankę po mordach za krzywdy wyrządzone. Seriously that's all about.
Tak samo nie wiem ile wspólnego ma motyw z nadprzyrodzonymi zdolnościami wyhodowanymi wręcz w laboratorium z taką wiedźmą wiedźmą ale niech będzie, że to inwencja twórcza scenarzysty.

Una película coreana de fantasía oscura que recomiendo mucho es The Witch part 1.
Descubrí esta película por casualidad en Netflix y la comencé a ver sin mucho entusiasmo y sin ninguna expectación. Sin embargo, me equivocaba totalmente. Con el transcurrir de los minutos, la historia iba atrapandome cada vez más y más y cada vez estaba más metida en ella.
Algo que no me gustó mucho o que hizo que esta película no fuera de mis favoritas fue que no se explicaba muy bien el origen de todo. Sin embargo, respire tranquila cuando supe que habría una segunda parte, por lo que mis esperanzas de saber el origen no murió ahí (de la segunda parte traeré un post más adelante)
Si quieres ver una película de fantasía oscura que haga que te explote la cabeza, te recomiendo mucho la primera parte de The Witch.

awalnya gue ga mau nonton ini ya, kebetulan aja ada di platform *** dan gue udh berlangganan juga, jdnya nonton deh. sebenernya juga ga berekspetasi apa apa sama ni film, cuma pas liat trailernya “kece juga actionnya” gue mikir gitu WKWKW.

akhirnya gue decided buat nonton. dannnn INI BAGUS BANGETTTT. gue suka chemistry si female lead sama cwok penjahat itu adh gue lupa deh namanya. intinya itu org berdua gue suka bangettt, sama2 keren actingnyaaaa???

dan ini rada plot twist di akhir, pas diceritain dari pov si female lead? recommended buat yg suka mystery/action??

Enfeitiçada estou

Gente que filme é esse... começou bem deu uma desacelerada para mostrar a vida da protagonista depois deu um 360 e deu uma reviravolta total e ai sim pegou fogo.
Esse filme é um ótimo thriller e suas cenas de ação são ótimas me manteve elétrica o tempo todo. Achei o enredo muito interessante e bem executado.
A protagonista deu um show de interpretação, tanto ela quanto todo o elenco.
Em fim se você está cansado de filmes leves e procura algo mais forte esse filme é para você aqui temos muita ação suspense e carnificina. Então prepare-se e bom filme.
